Local insight
Hobe Sound's older bungalows near Gomez and the Pines often have solid-wood cabinet boxes that are worth saving — refinishing rather than replacing preserves that quality while updating the look, and it avoids the lead times and supply-chain delays that cabinet replacements currently face in South Florida.
Cabinet refinishing in Hobe Sound
Cabinet refinishing done right is not a brush-and-roll job. Our process starts with removing all doors, drawers, and hardware and transporting them to our shop for spray finishing under controlled conditions. Box faces and frames that stay in place are cleaned, degreased, lightly sanded, and sprayed on-site with the kitchen protected. We use a catalyzed conversion varnish or lacquer depending on the substrate — these finishes cure to a hard film that handles moisture, cooking grease, and the cleaning products Hobe Sound homeowners actually use.
In the kitchens of Lost Lake and Heritage Ridge homes, we see a lot of stained wood and painted MDF that’s yellowed or chipped over the years. Both can be refinished well; MDF in particular takes a sprayed finish cleanly when primed correctly, and the result looks closer to a factory finish than most people expect.
We back cabinet refinishing with a six-month finish warranty. Peeling, chipping, or adhesion failures within that window are on us.
What changes and what stays the same
Refinishing updates color and finish while keeping your existing layout, box construction, and hinges (unless you want new hardware — we’re happy to install it). It typically takes two to three days start to finish and doesn’t require you to be out of the kitchen for a week the way a full replacement does.
Questions Hobe Sound homeowners ask
Can you refinish my cabinets white without them yellowing quickly in the Florida heat? Yes, with the right product selection. Oil-based paints and some lacquers will yellow noticeably in Florida sun and humidity, especially on cabinets near windows. We use waterborne catalyzed finishes that resist UV yellowing. For white and off-white cabinets in Hobe Sound kitchens, this is the only finish we recommend.
My cabinet doors have some humidity warping — can they still be refinished? Mild warping on solid wood doors can often be addressed before finishing. Significant warping may mean the door needs to be replaced rather than refinished; we’ll tell you honestly during the estimate visit rather than refinish something that won’t hold flat on the cabinet.

Is refinishing worth it for the older solid-wood cabinets in Hobe Sound bungalows?
Often, yes. The older bungalows near Gomez and the Pines at Hobe Sound frequently have solid-wood cabinet boxes built better than many replacement options, and refinishing preserves them while updating the color and finish. KB Painting removes doors and drawers for spray finishing, refinishes the frames on-site with the kitchen protected, and completes most projects in two to three days — without the lead times cabinet replacements currently face in South Florida.
What warranty covers cabinet refinishing in Hobe Sound?
KB Painting backs cabinet refinishing in Hobe Sound with a six-month finish warranty — peeling, chipping, or adhesion failures in that window are corrected at no charge. That's a different guarantee from the 5-year workmanship warranty on interior and exterior painting, because a sprayed kitchen finish lives a harder life against steam, grease, and daily hands. Thorough prep — cleaning, degreasing, and sanding before any coating — is what carries the finish well past the warranty window.
