Cabinet finishing provides an additional level of customization and quality. This can be applied to kitchens, bathroom vanities, doors, ceilings and a variety of other surfaces. Joe and his team have a well equipped workspace to complete projects for the most discerning clients and are exceptionally passionate about their work. On many projects, they work closely with local cabinet makers from the initial conception of the project to the finishing touches, which results in a cohesive outcome. It is their goal to accentuate the craftsmanship of the cabinet maker and preserve the character of the wood.

Each project is unique, requiring a great deal of creativity and an open mind. At Dutra Finishes, clients are not limited to a selection of color swatches or certain finishes. In order to create precise color matches or a one of a kind finish, colors are mixed and matched in house.
