Cabinet Refinishing in Boca Raton, FL
Kitchen and bathroom cabinet refinishing gives Boca Raton homeowners a like-new finish without the cost or disruption of a full remodel — and in communities like Via Mizner and Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, where kitchens are designed to impress, the quality of the finish matters. KB Painting & Refinishing brings a crew with 25+ years of combined experience to every cabinet refinishing project in Boca Raton, using a controlled spray process and premium Sherwin-Williams catalyzed finishes backed by a six-month workmanship warranty.
Local insight
Boca Raton's coastal humidity is hard on cabinet finishes over time — doors swell slightly, finishes fog near dishwashers and range hoods, and older paint jobs yellow from UV through large kitchen windows. A proper catalyzed spray finish resists moisture and heat far better than brush-applied latex, which is why we don't use it on cabinetry.
Cabinet refinishing in Boca Raton
Boca Raton kitchens in communities like Woodfield Country Club and Broken Sound are often large, open-plan spaces with upper, lower, and island cabinetry — sometimes running to fifty or sixty door and drawer fronts. Refinishing is a fraction of the cost of replacement and, done correctly, produces a factory-smooth finish that holds up to daily use. Our process is built around that result.
Why refinishing beats repainting with a brush
The biggest failure mode for cabinet “repaints” is brush marks and lap lines from roller- or brush-applied finish. We remove all doors and drawer fronts, take them to a controlled environment, and spray them with a Sherwin-Williams catalyzed topcoat that cures hard and smooth. The box frames receive the same treatment in place, with appliances and countertops protected throughout. You get a finish that looks like new cabinetry — not like someone painted your old ones.
Boca Raton conditions and cabinet finishes
The kitchen environment in a South Florida home is particularly demanding — high ambient humidity, steam from cooking, and significant UV through sliding glass doors or large windows. A catalyzed finish withstands all three far better than latex paint. We also clean and degrease every cabinet surface thoroughly before priming, because Boca Raton kitchens near the coast can accumulate salt-and-grease residue that causes adhesion failures if not removed.
What’s included
Removal and rehanging of all doors and drawer fronts, full degreasing, light sanding, a bonding primer coat, two topcoats in your choice of color, and hardware reinstallation. Cabinet refinishing carries a six-month workmanship warranty.
Questions Boca Raton homeowners ask
Can you change the color of my cabinets, or is this only for refreshing the existing finish? We can go any direction you want — darker, lighter, painted, or a natural stain look. Color changes are common in Boca Raton kitchens where homeowners are updating from older honey-oak or espresso tones to a more current white or gray. We’ll show you Sherwin-Williams swatches in person before we finalize the color.
How long will the kitchen be out of service during the refinishing process? Most jobs in Boca Raton homes take two to three days from cabinet removal to final reinstallation. You’ll have full kitchen access by the third day in nearly all cases. We sequence the work to minimize disruption — boxes are refinished in place while doors cure off-site, so you’re never without all your storage simultaneously.

Common questions
What factors affect the cost of cabinet refinishing in South Florida?
The main variables are door and drawer count, the condition of the existing finish, and whether you're changing colors. Kitchens with heavy grease buildup — common in Florida's year-round cooking climate — require extra cleaning and deglossing, which adds prep time. We provide a free written estimate after a walk-through so there are no surprises before we start.
How long will a spray-applied cabinet finish hold up in a Florida home?
With proper prep and the right Sherwin-Williams products, a spray-applied finish typically lasts five or more years even with South Florida's humidity and daily kitchen use. Our six-month workmanship warranty covers adhesion or finish failures in that window. The key is thorough surface prep — skipping steps is where most finishes fail early.
How long does the project take and do we need to leave the house?
Most single-kitchen jobs run two to three days: one day for cleaning, deglossing, and priming; one for topcoats; and a short cure window before doors go back on hardware. We seal off the work area with plastic so the rest of the house stays livable. You'll just want to keep the kitchen light during cure time — no cooking or heavy steam until the finish has hardened.
