A new 50% tariff on imported kitchen cabinets and vanities takes effect Oct 1, driving up remodel costs nationwide. For professional refinishers, this is a unique opportunity: refinishing cabinets and countertops delivers the same updated look without the high price tag. Learn how NAPCO’s Kitchen Renew and Flint-Stone products help professionals win more projects and homeowners save money.

With over four decades of experience, NAPCO has built a reputation for delivering more than coatings and tools. They deliver confidence, support, and the kind of training that helps refinishing businesses grow.

In refinishing, results depend on the products you trust. NAPCO’s Poly-Glass 320, Piranha Prep, and Universal Catalyst give professional refinishers the edge with faster cure times, safer prep, and simplified workflow outperforming competitors where it counts.

Proper storage keeps your refinishing products performing like new. This fall, protect polyurethane, water-based finishes, and other coatings from temperature swings and air exposure. Whether you’re a pro refinisher or a DIY homeowner, NAPCO’s seasonal tips will help you extend shelf life, prevent waste, and get the best results on every project.

Professional surface refinishing gives homeowners, landlords, and real estate professionals the ability to transform kitchens, bathrooms, tile, and countertops without the time and mess of full demolition.

If you want to grow beyond project to project, building solid referral partnerships is one of the smartest ways to keep your schedule and your business full. With the right tools, training, and products from NAPCO behind you, you’ll have an even easier time making those partnerships stick.

Cracks, weak spots, or compromised tub and shower floors can quickly turn a simple refinishing project into a major headache. And full replacements? They’re expensive, disruptive, and rarely necessary. That’s where inlays come in. For experienced refinishers, inlays aren’t just a repair option—they’re a smart business tool.

If you’ve built a solid residential bath, countertop and cabinet refinishing business, expanding into the commercial market might be your next smartest move. Commercial refinishing opens the door to new opportunities, bigger clients, and more revenue, and the work is often more straightforward than you’d expect.

You’ve still got time to grow your business, impress new clients, and build momentum that carries into 2026. Let NAPCO help you take the right steps today, because the year’s not over, and neither are your sales opportunities.
