Cabinet painting in St. Petersburg, FL

We’ve done dozens of cabinet projects across St. Pete, from Kenwood bungalow kitchens to Snell Isle waterfront home renovations. A properly painted cabinet should be smooth, durable, and chip-resistant — and it should look like it came that way from the factory, not like someone ran a brush over it.

Our cabinet painting process

We don’t cut corners. Doors and drawer fronts are removed and painted flat in a controlled environment. Frames are cleaned, deglossed, and primed in place. We use a professional sprayer for the finish coats — not a brush and roller — which is what gives you that flawless, furniture-quality result.

  • Remove all doors, drawer fronts, and hardware
  • Clean and degrease all surfaces thoroughly
  • Sand, fill, and prime for adhesion
  • Apply 2 finish coats by spray — no brush marks
  • Reinstall hardware and walk through with you

Why we spray, not brush

Brush and roller cabinet painting is a shortcut that shows — literally. You can see every brush stroke in reflected light. We use a professional airless sprayer for cabinet finish coats because it’s the only way to achieve the smooth, furniture-quality surface that lasts. Doors are removed and painted horizontally in a controlled environment so there are no runs, no sags, and no dust nibs in the finish.

Popular cabinet paint colors in St. Pete right now

Soft white and off-white tones (like Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace and Simply White) remain the most popular choice. Deep navy and forest green are growing fast, especially in older homes where a bold cabinet color pairs beautifully with original hardwood floors.

Cabinet painting — St. Petersburg

What is the difference between cabinet painting and just painting the walls?
Cabinet painting requires a completely different process — thorough degreasing, sanding, a bonding primer, and thin coats of a durable topcoat formulated for cabinet-grade hardness. Standard wall paint applied to cabinets will chip and peel within months. We use only products specified for cabinetry.
Cabinet doors are sprayed off-site (or in place with full masking) for a smooth, factory-style finish. We sand between coats to eliminate any texture or runs. The result should look like new cabinetry, not like someone brushed paint on.
Doors and drawer fronts are removed, cleaned, sanded, primed, and painted separately for the best possible finish. Hardware is removed — not painted around. We label every door and drawer so everything goes back exactly where it came from.
A properly prepared and painted cabinet finish should last 8–10 years with normal care. The key variables are surface prep, primer selection, and product quality — all three of which we control and document. We will walk you through care instructions so your finish lasts.
Yes. We use two-component or waterborne alkyd topcoats specifically rated for kitchen environments — resistant to moisture, cleaning products, and daily contact. We do not use standard interior latex on cabinetry.
That is exactly what cabinet painting is designed for. A professional cabinet paint job typically costs 15–20% of cabinet replacement and can completely transform your kitchen or bathroom. We provide a color consultation to help you choose a finish that works with your countertops and flooring.
We handle all prep — degreasing, sanding, priming, and masking the surrounding area. You just need to remove items from inside the cabinets if we are painting interiors. We will walk you through exactly what to expect at the estimate stage.
We use low-VOC or waterborne products wherever possible and always ensure adequate ventilation during and after application. We will advise you on how long the space should air out before normal use resumes.
