Artisan Cabinet Refinishing Services in Jacksonville, FL
Your kitchen cabinets set the tone for the entire room. When they start to look dated, worn, or just wrong for the space, it’s easy to assume a full replacement is the only fix. It isn’t. As a trusted cabinet refinishing company serving Jacksonville and Northeast Florida, The Painting Craftsmen team offers a smarter path that delivers a stunning, lasting result at a fraction of the cost.
If you’re looking to refinish your cabinets with a fresh coat of paint or completely reinvent the look with a new stain, we have the process, the products, and the commitment to craftsmanship to get the job done right.
Why Refinish Cabinets Instead of Replacing?
Full cabinet replacement can be a disruptive and expensive process for a homeowner to take on. Kitchen cabinet refinishing achieves the same visual transformation without the demolition, the dust, the weeks of downtime, or the price tag.
If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, refinishing or refacing your cabinets is often the smarter choice. You get a factory-quality finish, the color or stain of your choice, and a kitchen that is custom to your vision, all while keeping the project affordable and your home inhabitable.
What Sets The Painting Craftsmen Apart
The difference is in how the work gets done. Rather than painting cabinets in places — which limits results and invites mess — we remove your cabinet doors and drawer fronts and bring them to our state-of-the-art refinishing booth. That means a controlled, dust-free environment, professional spray application, and a smooth, durable finish.
Face frames and cabinet boxes are refinished on-site using the same professional-grade products and techniques, ensuring a seamless match between surfaces.
Our Cabinet Refinishing Services
Cabinet Painting & Tinted Urethane Coatings
Clean, crisp, and built to last. We apply premium paints and industrial-grade urethane coatings that resist chipping, yellowing, and daily wear. The color options are unlimited, so we can match your vision, whether it’s bright white or a moody tone.
Cabinet Staining & Restaining
For wood cabinets that have lost their richness, our staining process brings the grain back to life. We clean, sand, and apply a hand-rubbed stain in the color of your choice, followed by multiple coats of lacquer in your preferred sheen. The result is a uniform, deep finish with a factory-quality topcoat.
Specialty Finishes
If you have a look in mind, we can execute it. Two-tone finishes, whitewashing, accent glazing — whatever your vision, our team’s experience and skill mean that we can deliver finishes that most painters aren’t equipped to.
Cabinet Refacing
If you’d prefer new cabinet doors and drawer fronts, we can reface your kitchen cabinets using custom-crafted hardwood doors matched to a fully refinished face frame. Unlike traditional refacing methods that use laminate or vinyl veneer, we refinish the existing wood face frame directly, eliminating the risk of peeling, bubbling, or mismatched materials.
Complete Stripping & Color Changes
Want to go in a completely different direction? We can strip your cabinet doors down to the bare wood and start fresh with an entirely new finish.
Hardware Updates
New pulls and hinges make a bigger difference than most homeowners expect. Our team handles hardware updates and replacement as part of the refinishing process, so your whole kitchen transformation is handled in one visit.
Cleaning & Touch-Ups
For cabinets that are still in good shape but need a refresh, we offer professional cleaning and targeted touch-up services to bring them back to looking their best.
The Process
Here’s how it works when you partner with our team to refinish your kitchen cabinets:
- Free Estimate
We assess your cabinets and walk you through your options. No pressure and no surprises. - Door & Drawer Removal
Once you’ve decided on your service, we’ll get started removing all cabinet doors and drawer fronts. - Shop Refinishing
Doors go to our professional refinishing facility for cleaning, sanding, and finishing in a dust-free spray environment. - On-Site Work
We refinish face frames, cabinet boxes, and any on-site surfaces while the doors are in production. - Reinstallation
Doors and drawer fronts are rehung, hardware is installed, and your kitchen is cleaned up and ready for you to resume normal use.
The bulk of the labor happens off-site, which means minimal disruption in your home and a cleaner, more consistent result.
Complete the Kitchen Transformation
Cabinet refinishing can transform your kitchen, but if the walls, trim, and doors are calling for attention too, we offer everything you need to complete the refresh under one roof.
Interior Painting
Fresh cabinets paired with freshly painted walls make a kitchen feel completely new. Our team of interior painters uses the same preparation-forward approach and premium products that define every job we take on.
Trim & Door Painting
Baseboards, door casings, and interior doors all take a beating in high-traffic areas like kitchens. We paint and refinish trim and doors to a crisp, clean finish that ties the whole room together.
Wallpaper Removal
Older kitchens often come with wallpaper that’s well past its prime. We handle full wallpaper removal and surface prep so the walls are smooth and ready for paint before we ever pick up a brush.
Our Guarantee
We proudly stand by our work. The Painting Craftsmen offers a one-year craftsmanship guarantee on all cabinet refinishing services in Jacksonville. This covers defects in our work, but excludes normal wear and forceful damage. If something isn’t right, we’ll make it right. That’s The Painting Craftsmen way.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cabinet refinishing and cabinet refacing?
Refinishing means cleaning, sanding, and applying a new paint, stain, or topcoat to your existing cabinet doors and frames. Refacing goes a step further. When we reface, we’ll replace the door and drawer fronts with new custom-built ones while refinishing the face frames to match. Both are significantly more affordable than full replacement.
How long does kitchen cabinet refinishing take?
Most kitchen cabinet refinishing projects take three to five days from start to finish. Because we remove the doors and finish them in our off-site facility, the process moves efficiently and with minimal disruption to your home.
Can you paint over stained cabinets, or stain over painted ones?
We can do both with the right preparation. Painting over stained cabinets requires thorough sanding and the use of the correct primers. Staining over previously painted cabinets typically requires stripping down to bare wood first. We’ll assess your cabinets during the estimate and recommend the right approach.
Will the finish be durable enough for everyday kitchen use?
Absolutely. We use industrial-grade coatings — not standard wall paint — applied in a professional spray environment. The result is a hard, smooth finish that resists chipping, moisture, and normal kitchen wear far better than brush-and-roll applications.
How much does cabinet refinishing cost compared to replacement?
Cabinet refinishing typically costs a fraction of full replacement — often 70–80% less, depending on kitchen size and scope. During your free estimate, we’ll provide a detailed quote so you can compare options with real numbers.
Do I need to empty my cabinets before you arrive?
Yes, we kindly ask that you empty your cabinets before our team arrives. We’ll confirm specifics during the estimate.
Can you match my existing cabinet finish for touch-ups?
In some cases, yes. If you have a small area that needs to match an existing finish, we can often blend or replicate it. However, for the best result, a full refinish ensures the most consistent result.
