Local insight
Many Fellsmere kitchens fall into two camps: older homes near the historic core with dated but solid wood cabinetry worth preserving, and new-development homes with stock cabinets that are sound but plain. Refinishing serves both — it modernizes the old without a gut renovation and elevates the new beyond the builder finish. Either way, a factory-hard sprayed finish stands up far better to daily use than a brush-painted one.
Cabinet refinishing in Fellsmere
Replacing a kitchen’s worth of cabinets is one of the most expensive projects a homeowner can take on — and in plenty of Fellsmere homes, it’s also unnecessary. The cabinet boxes are solid; it’s the finish that’s dated, worn, or just builder-plain. Cabinet refinishing delivers a true transformation — new color, new sheen, fresh hardware prep — for a small fraction of replacement cost, and with a film that’s harder and more durable than most factory originals when it’s applied correctly.
KB Painting & Refinishing treats cabinet refinishing as a finishing trade, not a paint job. We remove every door and drawer front and take them to a controlled environment for spray application. The boxes are cleaned, degreased, and deglossed, then sprayed in place. Every surface gets a thorough scuff-sand before primer, and we apply Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel — a self-leveling waterborne enamel that cures to a hard, washable surface with virtually no brush marks.
That hardness matters in a working Fellsmere kitchen, where cooking moisture, grease, and frequent cleaning would soften or peel a lesser finish at the door edges. When we’re done, we re-hang every door and drawer, adjust the hinges, and run a final quality check before we leave. In an older downtown kitchen it looks like a full remodel; in a new-build home it looks like a custom upgrade.
Our 6-month workmanship warranty covers adhesion failures, peeling, and workmanship defects specific to the refinishing process.
Questions Fellsmere homeowners ask
How long does cabinet refinishing take, and when can I use my kitchen again? Most Fellsmere kitchens — roughly 25 to 40 cabinet doors — take two to three days. We schedule door removal, spraying, and reinstallation so the kitchen is usable each evening. Full cure for Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane takes about two weeks; during that window we recommend gentle cleaning with a damp cloth only, and going easy on the door edges.
Can refinishing really hold up, or will it chip like a DIY paint job? The difference is the process and the product. A brush-and-roller DIY job over unprepped, greasy cabinets chips because the paint never bonds. Our approach — degrease, deglossed, scuff-sand, prime, and spray a urethane enamel — creates a mechanical and chemical bond that cures rock-hard. Done this way, a refinished cabinet stands up to daily kitchen use for years.

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.
