You can get the feel of a brand-new piece of furniture, kitchen or bathroom without the time — or budget — needed to buy or install new ones. New paint will freshen up your space or your most beloved pieces of furniture.

We provide advice on the process of choosing the perfect color and finish style to achieve a beautiful and balanced result.
Painting wood furniture gives life to new and old pieces. Our process includes carefully sanding and repairing blemishes, followed by applying primer and paint.
The right paint can highlight the character of a piece of furniture and make it the focal point in any room. Before you throw that old piece of furniture away, consider having it painted to complement your décor.
We offer several options, depending on the condition of your cabinets and the style you’re after. Smaller-scale work includes cleaning and minor repairs of scuffs, scratches and dings or touch-ups for missing color and finish. Or, for a full transformation, update paint or stain or reface your cabinets with new veneer and door fronts.
Minga Collective provides full wood staining and refinishing for furniture, crown molding, doors, panels and all type of woods. Our complex process allows our team to finish wood to either match your new wood or provide primed material ready to stain or paint. While completing your staining project, wood stain refinishing will bring the natural color out of the wood which is our final step in wood staining and refinishing.
