Cabinet Refinishing in Plantation, FL
Cabinet refinishing in Plantation runs $4,000–$7,000 for a full-system kitchen, with an extra $200–$400 to budget for a significant color change like dark stain to light paint — the update many of Plantation's 1970s and early-1980s kitchens in Cobblestone and Sunset Strip are due for. KB Painting's own employees — never subcontractors — spray Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel with HVLP equipment for a factory-smooth finish backed by a 6-month finish warranty, and a typical kitchen is back in service in two to three days.
Local insight
Plantation's older homes — particularly those in Cobblestone and Sunset Strip built in the 1970s and early 1980s — often have solid wood or plywood-box cabinets that are structurally sound but cosmetically tired. Refinishing those original boxes is both practical and more sustainable than sending them to the landfill for new stock.
Cabinet refinishing in Plantation kitchens and baths
The kitchens in Plantation’s established neighborhoods were built well — solid frames, real wood doors, and drawer boxes that still work perfectly. What lets them down is decades of grease, humidity, and sun exposure that dull, yellow, or crack the original finish. Our refinishing process doesn’t gloss over those issues; it addresses them at the surface level so the new finish adheres properly and lasts.
We begin by removing all doors, drawers, and hardware and taking them to our prep area. Surfaces are deglossed, sanded, and cleaned before we apply a bonding primer formulated for cabinetry. All spraying is done with HVLP equipment for a smooth, brush-mark-free finish that looks factory-applied. Box interiors, frames, and door faces all receive the same treatment — nothing is rolled or brushed. We use Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel or Cabinet Coat depending on the project, both of which cure to a hard finish that resists chipping and moisture.
Why cabinet humidity matters more in South Florida
Plantation kitchens run through a lot of steam, humidity, and cooking grease. A consumer-grade paint applied with a brush will start to yellow, chip at edges, and peel near the sink within two or three years in this climate. The spray-applied enamels we use are formulated for exactly this environment, and our prep ensures they stick. Every cabinet refinishing job we do comes with a six-month finish warranty.
Questions Plantation homeowners ask
Can you refinish laminate or thermofoil cabinet faces in my Plantation home? In many cases, yes — but it depends on the condition of the laminate. If the thermofoil is peeling at the edges, it needs to be removed and the substrate cleaned before refinishing. We assess this during the free estimate and give you an honest answer about whether refinishing is the right path or whether door replacement would serve you better long-term.
How long will my kitchen be out of service during cabinet refinishing? For a typical Plantation kitchen, expect two to three days total. Doors and drawers come down on day one, go through the spray and cure process, and are rehung once the finish has hardened. We reinstall hardware and do a final walk-through with you before we leave. Most homeowners can use a microwave and countertop appliances throughout the process.
