Most cabinet refinishing companies make you wait for a quote to see any numbers. We do it differently: here is exactly what cabinet refinishing costs in Orlando and Central Florida in 2026, with our real prices — the same ones we put in every estimate.
The short answer: pricing is per piece, so every kitchen is easy to calculate. Count your doors and drawers, and you can estimate your own project in one minute. Most Orlando kitchens land between $1,900 and $4,500 — roughly 10–20% of the cost of replacing the same cabinets.
Our exact 2026 pricing
- Cabinet door: $100 each
- Drawer front: $75 each
- End panel: $75 each
- Project minimum: $1,900
That’s it. No hidden fees, and the price is the same whether you’re going from dark espresso to bright white or just refreshing the same color — difficult color changes don’t cost extra with us.
Real examples
Small kitchen — 15 doors and 5 drawer fronts comes to $1,875, so it’s billed at the $1,900 project minimum.
Average Orlando kitchen — 20 doors, 8 drawer fronts, and 2 end panels: $2,000 + $600 + $150 = $2,750.
Large kitchen — 30 doors, 10 drawer fronts, and 4 end panels: $3,000 + $750 + $300 = $4,050.
Extras like kitchen islands, crown molding, glazing, cabinet interiors, or new hardware installation are quoted case by case and always listed separately in your estimate, so you see exactly what you’re paying for.
What’s included in every project
A finish is only as good as its prep. Every Third Coat refinishing project includes all seven steps — never shortcuts:
- Degreasing with Krud Kutter — kitchen grease is the number one reason DIY cabinet paint jobs fail
- Scuff sanding with SurfPrep sanders
- Damage repair and grain filling with Bondo
- Primer matched to your cabinets (Chemcraft, BIN, or Kilz Cover Stain)
- Sprayed color application — always sprayed, never brushed, for a factory-smooth finish
- Topcoat and sealer when the project calls for it
- Hardware reinstallation
Most kitchens are completed in 5 days.
Why our finishes last
We use premium European cabinet coatings — Milesi, Renner, and ILVA — the same products used by high-end cabinet manufacturers, applied with professional spray equipment. We also work with Benjamin Moore Advance and Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane when preferred. Every project comes with a workmanship guarantee.
Refinishing vs. replacing: the math
- Cabinet refinishing: $1,900–$4,500, done in about 5 days
- Cabinet refacing: $8,000–$15,000, 1–2 weeks
- New custom cabinets: $15,000–$30,000+, 4–10 weeks
If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound — and in most Florida homes built in the last 30 years they are — refinishing gives you a like-new kitchen for a fraction of the cost, without weeks of demolition and dust.
