Cabinet refinishing that looks like new cabinets.

Cabinet refinishing in Orlando is priced by piece, per door, per drawer front, and per end panel. We have a project minimum that covers small jobs. Add-ons like new hardware, glaze, distressing, or interior box painting are quoted separately. The price stays the same whether you go from oak stain to bright white or just refresh an existing color. We provide a custom quote after a free in-home estimate.

Our standard cabinet refinishing project takes five days from start to finish, but your kitchen is only out of use for about a day and a half. We split the work between your home and our shop to keep the disruption short:

• Day 1: Removal and labeling of all doors and drawer fronts.
• Days 1 to 2 (about a day and a half): On-site painting of the cabinet boxes and bases. This is the only stretch when the kitchen is fully blocked.
• Days 3 and 4: We finish the doors and drawer fronts at our shop. Your kitchen is usable during this period, only the doors and drawer fronts are missing.
• Day 5: Reinstallation of all doors, drawer fronts, and hardware.

Larger projects with islands, custom modifications, or extensive damage may run up to six days.

Every Third Coat cabinet refinishing project follows the same seven-step process: (1) degreasing with Krud Kutter to strip kitchen grease, (2) scuff sanding for adhesion, (3) Bondo fills for nicks, dents, and grain, (4) high-build primer (Chemcraft, BIN, or Kilz Cover Stain depending on the substrate), (5) color coats sprayed with HVLP or air-assisted airless, (6) topcoat or sealer when the finish requires it, and (7) hardware reinstallation. We don't skip degreasing, ever, that's where most failed cabinet jobs go wrong.

For cabinet refinishing we prefer European-grade finishes built specifically for cabinetry. Our standard lineup includes Milesi 2K polyurethanes, Renner waterborne systems, and ILVA IVM lines. For projects where a hard professional lacquer is the right call we use Chemcraft, Sherwood, or Magnamax. For clients who specifically want big-box brand cabinets coatings we work with Benjamin Moore Advance Command and Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane. The recommendation depends on your wood, traffic level, and color, we explain the trade-offs in the estimate.

Yes, we have a project minimum that covers small kitchens, bathroom vanities, or partial projects (just doors, just the island, etc.). The minimum exists because mobilization, materials, and shop time stay roughly the same whether we refinish ten doors or thirty, and we won’t take a project we can’t deliver at the same finish quality as a larger one. We provide a custom quote after an in-home estimate.
