Question 1

What exactly is cabinet wrapping?

Accepted Answer

Cabinet wrapping applies a durable commercial-grade architectural film directly over your existing cabinet doors and surfaces. The result looks like a full renovation — without any demolition, mess, or weeks of construction. Most kitchens are done in a single day.

Question 2

How is wrapping different from replacing cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Replacement means demolition, dumpsters, 4–8 weeks of construction, and $15,000–$30,000+. Wrapping keeps your existing cabinet boxes and gives them a completely new finish in 1–2 days. No permits, no noise, no smell — and 60–80% less cost.

Question 3

How long does the whole process take?

Accepted Answer

Most kitchens are done in a single day. Larger kitchens or combined cabinet-and-countertop projects may take 2 days. You'll have your kitchen back the same evening we finish.

Question 4

Can I stay home during the install?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and most clients do. There's no loud noise, no paint fumes, no dust. The process is quiet and odorless. You can work from home, watch TV, or go about your day while we work in the kitchen.

Question 5

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Cabinet wrapping starts from $1,999 for a studio or small kitchen, up to $3,500 for a larger space. Countertop wrapping starts from $899. Every project is different — send us photos and we'll provide a written estimate within 1 business day.

Question 6

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send us a few photos of your kitchen and we'll send back a written estimate within 1 business day — no sales calls, no pressure. We can also ship 5 free material samples to your door so you can see and feel the quality before deciding.

Question 7

What materials do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use professional Bodaq architectural film — the same commercial-grade material used in luxury hotels, restaurants, and corporate offices. It's rated for 10+ years of daily kitchen use and comes in 500+ finishes including matte colors, wood grains, marble textures, and metallics.

Question 8

How long does the finish last?

Accepted Answer

10+ years under normal kitchen conditions. The film handles daily cooking, heat, steam, cleaning, and grease. It's a commercial-grade product, not a peel-and-stick DIY film.

Question 9

Is there any smell or mess?

Accepted Answer

None. The film is VOC-free and completely odorless during and after application. No fumes, no dust, no sanding. Safe for occupied apartments, children, and pets.

Question 10

Can the film be removed later?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it can be safely removed without damaging the underlying cabinets. This makes it a smart option for renters or anyone who wants flexibility to change the look again down the road.

Question 11

What finishes are available?

Accepted Answer

500+ options: matte solids (white, cream, navy, sage, black), wood grains (oak, walnut, wenge, espresso), marble and stone textures, high gloss, and metallics. We'll ship free samples so you can see the materials in your own kitchen before committing.

Question 12

What cabinet styles can be wrapped?

Accepted Answer

Flat-panel and slab doors work best and are the most common in NYC apartments and modern homes. Shaker-style can also be wrapped. Very deep raised-panel profiles may not be eligible — we confirm from photos before scheduling.

Question 13

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a 50% deposit is required to schedule your project, with the balance due upon completion. We accept all major credit cards and checks.

Question 14

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve New York City (all boroughs + NJ), Boston and Greater Boston, Charlotte NC, and Western MA. Send us photos no matter where you are — if you're in our service area, you'll have a quote back within 1 business day.

Question 15

Is board approval required for NYC co-ops and condos?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no. Wrapping involves no structural changes, no demolition, and no permits. Most NYC co-op boards and condo management companies don't require approval for cosmetic surface work. We can provide documentation of the process if your building has a renovation review policy.
