Exquisite Finishing
About Exquisite Finishing
Exquisite Finishing divides most kitchen cabinet projects between the customer's home and its Loveland finishing shop. Cabinet boxes are finished in place behind a temporary containment wall, while doors and drawer fronts receive their finish in the controlled shop. Cleaning, sanding, repairs, spray application, inspection, and reinstallation form the published process.
A free in-home visit establishes the measurements, condition, finish, and scope needed for an accurate written estimate. Customers can also request a preliminary painting range from cabinet photographs. That photo-based range is a starting point rather than the final written quote. The company discusses colors and finishes before scheduling the work.
The family-operated business is led by Clay Chaffee, who specializes in cabinet and wood finishing. His father oversees custom woodworking and carpentry, including cabinetry, built-ins, mantels, and millwork. His brother is the head finisher. The company also repairs chips, scratches, water damage, and worn edges on cabinets, furniture, handrails, and trim.
Refinishing retains existing cabinet boxes and doors, while refacing replaces doors, drawer fronts, and exposed panels while keeping structurally sound boxes. Options include solid colors, clear coats, custom stain matching, glazing, toning, distressing, and antiquing. For cabinet makers and other trade customers, the shop accepts sanded pieces for contract finishing and wraps completed work for pickup.
The company states that it is fully insured and backs homeowner finishes with a ten-year warranty after full payment. Published terms cover specified finish failures, with exclusions for normal wear and several forms of damage. Its shop is at 661 West 66th Street in Loveland, and visits require an appointment. Published coverage extends up to 50 miles from the shop across Northern Colorado and the Denver metro.
