CABINET REFINISHING · APOPKA, LONGWOOD, LAKE MARY & WINTER GARDEN
Your boxes are solid. It is the color that dates the room. Refinishing keeps the cabinetry you already own and changes the one thing you actually dislike about it, in about a week.
REFINISH OR REPLACE
We will tell you honestly which side of this line your kitchen falls on, even though one answer means we do not get the job.
BEFORE & AFTER
Dark cherry with a grey wall above it, closing the whole room in. Same boxes, same layout, same granite. Doors came off, got sprayed in the shop, went back on white. Nothing was replaced.
“We had a quote for new cabinets. This came in at a fraction of it and I honestly cannot tell it was not a remodel.”

BEFORE
HOW WE WORK
You look at them from eighteen inches away, in raking window light, every single day. There is nowhere for a brush mark or a run to hide, which is why the prep and the spray matter more here than anywhere else in the house.
Before a single surface is sanded:
This is the phase that decides whether the finish is still on the cabinet in five years:
Doors are sprayed flat and off the house, boxes and frames sprayed in place:
WHAT WE REFINISH
Anything built in and painted gets the same process. Most people start with the kitchen and add a bathroom once they see it.
Uppers, lowers, island, pantry and crown. One color throughout, or a two-tone with a darker island and lighter perimeter.
Small enough to be a one-day job and the cheapest way to see what the process looks like before committing the kitchen.
Entertainment walls, office built-ins, window seats. Shelving sprayed off the wall where it comes out cleanly.
Lockers, cubbies and utility cabinetry, finished in something that will take a wet backpack and a dog leash.
Going from knobs to pulls means new holes, and the old ones filled so they disappear under the finish. Done during prep, not after.
Often worth doing in the same visit, since a newly white kitchen makes twenty-year-old almond doors suddenly obvious.
RELATED SERVICES
It happens on nearly every cabinet job. The kitchen goes bright and suddenly the ceiling and the adjoining room read dingy. We are already set up and masked, so adding them costs a fraction of coming back later.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Four to six days for a typical kitchen. The sink and appliances stay usable for most of it — what you lose is the doors and drawer fronts while they cure. We tell you up front which days will be disruptive so you can plan around them.
Not if the prep was done right. Chipping is almost always a bonding failure from skipped degreasing or no scuff sand, not a bad coating. Cured cabinet finishes are hard, and they hold up to daily use the way factory cabinetry does.
Doors go back on hard to the touch. Full cure takes a couple of weeks, so for the first while we ask you to close doors gently and avoid wiping them down with anything harsh. After that, treat them like any painted surface.
Yes. Bring us a photo, a paint chip, or the name of a color you saw somewhere and we will match it. We put samples on a door in your own kitchen light before committing, because cabinet white looks different in every room.
Less than you expect. We spray with containment and ventilation, and modern cabinet coatings are far lower odor than the oil-based products this work used to require. Most families stay in the house through the job.
We can fill and knock the grain back considerably, but oak's open grain will still read slightly under paint. Some people like that texture. If you want a completely smooth slab look, that is a conversation about replacing the doors, and we will say so rather than overpromise.
SERVICE AREA
Based in Apopka and on site in under 30 minutes. A close crew shows up on time, knows which HOA wants what, and comes back for touch-ups without a fuss.
We will count the doors and drawers, check what your boxes are actually made of, and give you a written number. If replacing is the better value we will tell you that instead.
