Cabinet Refinishing
Give your kitchen or bath cabinets a smooth, factory-like finish without the cost and disruption of replacement.
What cabinet refinishing includes
Cabinet refinishing transforms your existing box frames, doors, and drawer fronts with a spray-applied finish that looks and performs like factory cabinetry — without demolition, lead times, or the cost of replacement. We work on kitchen and bathroom cabinets of any size and can prep surfaces for new hardware if you’re updating pulls or hinges at the same time.
The finish looks the way it does because it’s applied the same way a cabinet shop applies it: professional spray equipment, not a brush or roller. No lap marks, no visible brushstrokes, just a smooth, even film that holds up to daily use.
KB’s prep-first process
Every cabinet job starts with a thorough cleaning to remove grease, soap film, and the salt residue that builds up in coastal Florida homes. Doors come off their hinges and are sprayed flat to prevent runs. Box frames are masked, scuffed, and primed before any topcoat goes on.
We use Sherwin-Williams products formulated specifically for interior cabinetry — coatings chosen for hardness, block resistance, and the ability to stand up to steam and moisture. Adhesion failures almost always trace back to a surface that wasn’t properly cleaned or abraded. We don’t skip those steps to save time.
Florida-specific considerations
South Florida’s humidity, salt air, and constant AC cycling all put stress on cabinet finishes that products and processes designed for drier climates can’t handle. Steam from daily cooking compounds the problem in kitchens, and vanity cabinets in bathrooms face their own moisture load. The prep we do — particularly deglossing and priming — is what separates a finish that peels within a year from one that lasts five or more.
Cabinets near the coast see accelerated breakdown from salt air on any surface. Getting the chemistry right, not just the color, is what makes the difference.

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.
