Cabinet Refinishing Pricing. Transparent and Predictable
No surprise quotes. We charge per piece so you know exactly what you are paying for before we lift a sander.
Cabinet refinishing is priced by piece, with doors, drawer fronts, and end panels each counted separately. We have a project minimum that covers small kitchens, vanities, and partial projects. Add-ons like new hardware, glaze, distressing, island work, crown molding, and interior box painting are quoted case by case. Every quote is written and itemized so you know exactly what you are paying for before we start.
Project totals vary based on the size of the kitchen, the number of pieces, and any extras you add. Larger luxury kitchens in Winter Garden and Windermere usually run higher because of door counts, island work, and premium finishes.

Our Cabinet Refinishing Process. Seven Steps, Five Days
Every cabinet refinishing project we deliver in Orlando follows the same seven-step process. We do not skip steps, we do not cut corners, and we do not subcontract. The result is a finish that looks like new cabinets, not paint over old ones.
- Degrease with Krud Kutter. Every cabinet starts with a thorough degrease. Kitchen grease ruins any finish if not removed first. This is the step most painters skip.
- Professional scuff sanding with SurfPrep sanders for a perfect bonding profile.
- Repair damage and fill pores with Bondo automotive-grade filler.
- Apply primer. Chemcraft, BIN, or Kilz Cover Stain depending on the wood type.
- Spray apply color coat with professional spray equipment, never brushed or rolled.
- Apply topcoat or sealer when the project requires extra durability.
- Reinstall hardware and walk-through with you to confirm everything meets your expectations.
Premium Finishes for Cabinet Refinishing Projects
We use European-grade finishes built specifically for cabinetry. Our lineup includes Milesi 2K polyurethanes, Renner waterborne systems, ILVA IVM lines, and professional lacquers from Chemcraft, Sherwood, and Magnamax. For clients who prefer big-box brands, we work with Benjamin Moore Advance Command and Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane. The brand we recommend depends on your wood type, traffic level, and color choice, we explain the trade-offs in the estimate so you can decide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does cabinet refinishing actually take?
Our standard timeline is five working days for an average kitchen, with normal use of the lower cabinets (sink, base storage) possible most of the time. Larger luxury kitchens or projects with extensive damage repair may add a day or two.
Do I need to empty all the cabinets?
You only need to empty cabinets where we will be working on the interior. For exterior-only refinishing (doors, drawer fronts, end panels), the cabinet contents can usually stay in place. We will confirm everything during the in-home estimate.
Can you change the cabinet color completely?
Yes. We do dark stain to bright white, oak to charcoal, and everything in between. The price is the same whether the color change is dramatic or subtle.
How do I pay and what is the deposit?
We require 50% deposit at the start of the project and 50% at completion. We accept Zelle and personal or business checks.
