Urban Fresh Services' Process for Removing Laminate from Kitchen Cabinets

Are your kitchen cabinets starting to show signs of wear, such as peeling, chipping, or outdated laminate? At Urban Fresh Services, we provide expert cabinet refinishing that revitalizes your kitchen without the need for a full replacement. Our professional team specializes in removing laminate from kitchen cabinets, offering a cost-effective way to refresh your space and customize it to your style. Here’s how we do it.

Why We Remove Laminate

Laminate is a common choice for kitchen cabinets due to its durability and affordability, but over time, it can lose its appeal. Peeling, bubbling, or cracking laminate detracts from the beauty of your kitchen. By removing the old laminate, we expose the underlying material, allowing for a range of refinishing options. Whether you’re interested in painting, staining, or applying a new veneer, our process paves the way for a stunning transformation.

Our Step-by-Step Laminate Removal Process

1. Workspace Preparation Before we begin, we take great care to prepare your kitchen. We clear the countertops, protect your floors and other surfaces with drop cloths, and ensure proper ventilation if we need to use any solvents.

2. Heating the Laminate We use specialized tools to apply controlled heat to the laminate, softening the adhesive that bonds it to the cabinets. This allows us to carefully and efficiently remove the laminate without damaging the underlying wood or MDF.

3. Laminate Removal Once the adhesive is softened, our team gently pries the laminate away using professional-grade tools. We take our time to ensure the underlying surface remains intact, ready for the next stage of refinishing.

4. Removing Residual Adhesive After the laminate is removed, adhesive residue often remains. We apply a high-quality adhesive remover and carefully scrape away the softened adhesive, leaving a clean and smooth surface.

5. Surface Sanding Next, we sand the exposed surface to ensure it’s perfectly smooth and ready for refinishing. We start with a coarse grit to remove any remaining imperfections and then finish with a finer grit for a flawless result.

6. Custom Refinishing With the laminate gone and the surface prepped, we offer various finishing options to suit your style. Whether you prefer a fresh coat of paint, a rich wood stain, or a new laminate or veneer, our team is ready to deliver a high-quality finish that enhances your kitchen.
