How Our Team Will Work With You

Our 4-Step Process

Specializing in refinishing and restoration, our four-step approach meticulously covers every detail from the initial consultation to the exceptional final product, driven by our deep industry expertise.

Project Consultation

Each project begins with a consultation to discuss scope, colour choices, and task strategy.

Sampling & Selection

We select 2-3 products, create samples, and present them to you, letting you visualize and choose the best fit.

Detailed Proposal

After finalizing the product choice, we define project phases to schedule work at our shop or onsite and provide a detailed estimate.

Expert Execution

We works closely with suppliers from the start to proactively address issues and consistently deliver exceptional finishes.

Colour & Stain Matching

Colour matching stains & quality control is our true strength. You only get one chance to get it right. We’ve worked with wood and cedar siding for years.

Limited Colour & Stain Matchin

Clients experience mismatches and quality control issues in the final result, affecting finish quality on wood.

Quick Turnaround

1 – 2 week turnaround for the average sized painting project, depending on the number of coats and whether painting is required.

Limited Responsiveness

Experience potential home disruptions, no-shows, and delays, as some contractors often lack the manpower and care to finish your project on your timeline.

Expertise & Innovation

We use premium, modern water-based coating systems like Sansin and Renner from Italy, selecting the best option for each wood type and application.

Limited Expertise & Innovation

Experience challenges as the applicator may be unable and / or unwilling to find the most appropriate wood products and techniques to suit your needs.

Sansin Longevity

Our flood coating and advanced systems provide 8–10 years of protection for wood before visible degradation appears or cleaning and maintenance are needed.

Extra Maintenance & Cost

Within 3-5 years, water staining, colour loss and black mold start to set in and become visible, requiring coating removal.

Coated On All Sides

All sides of the shingle are perfectly coated and can be utilized – there is no good or bad side. Improves durability and protects wood long term.

Higher Installation Costs

Carpenters and roofers must carefully place each shingle, especially for unfinished wood, increasing costs and the risk of client disappointment.

Convenience

Our Vancouver facility (32 miles from the US border) handles pre-finishing and washing of shingles, reducing contractor workload with direct delivery.

Inefficient & Inconvenient

Site finishing of shingles by hand consumes an exorbitant amount of space and time in your home and interrupts the efficient flow of other trades.

We Stand By Our Service Quality

Our Guarantee

We’re so confident in the quality and durability of our process and product that we provide a craftmanship warranty of 5 years and a manufacturer’s warranty on the coating for 25 years (excl. normal wear-and-tear & wood-material movement). Our mission is to always create a no-compromise refinishing solution that would blow away professionals within the renovation industry.

I can’t say enough about how thrilled we are with our KITRA experience. White glove service, top shelf attention to detail and the finished product is sensational. Our kitchen looks and feels completely brand new. I had used KITRA for my walk-in closet and principal en suite a few years ago, and I am so glad I called them to overhaul our kitchen. I highly recommend this company to homeowners, contractors and designers alike.

FIVE STARS and then some!!! Our experience with Kitra has been nothing short of Amazing. Truly. We hired Kitra to correct a botched cabinet repainting job. The cabinetry and gables were bubbling, pealing etc. A total mess. Anthony and his team of meticulous artisans were able to sand, patch and refinish our kitchen gables and finish our new cabinet doors to a level that we did not think possible. Total, complete, perfection. Further, Kitra provided the most detailed, organized and customer focused project management we have encountered in the home renovation industry thus far. He runs a tight ship that focuses on exceptional quality and customer satisfaction. So very rare today. Kitra is a true diamond. We cannot recommend them enough.

The team at Kitra was excellent to work with. Their painters and installers were professional and courteous, and took good care working inside my home. Isabel and Morey did a couple site visits to check-in on the progress, and were timely in their responses to questions/issues. I am very happy with how our kitchen cabinetry, 3 bathroom vanities and our downstairs bar kitchen turned out. Thank you Kitra!!

We're super happy with our new kitchen cabinets. They listened carefully to everything we wanted and also offered some great professional advice. They rebuilt the top and bottom moldings and squared off the end cap shelf for a sleeker more modern look. As well as replaced all door and drawer fronts, and refinished the paint with their exceptional lacquering technique. It's the perfect way to give your kitchen a facelift without a huge construction job. Thank you Team Kitra!

I cannot recommend Kitra enough! Our cabinets were a disaster and now they look brand new. My husband and I have referred Kitra to more than a few of our friends and we will continue to do so!

You’ve made my millworker who builds all my new cabinetry look bad. The quality of the spray finish and attention to detail really surprised me. I never trusted refinishing to be honest but now I’m a full convert. Thank you Kitra.
