Grove Street Painting refinishes kitchen cabinets in Sarasota using Renner conversion varnish and Milesi catalyzed topcoats. These are the same finishes used by custom cabinet shops -- they cure harder than off-the-shelf cabinet paint, resist kitchen grease and moisture, and hold up to daily door slams without chipping.
The process: doors and drawers come off, hardware is cataloged, every surface is degreased and scuff-sanded, a bonding primer goes down, then two coats of catalyzed topcoat spray-applied in a controlled environment. Boxes stay in place, masked off, and get the same finish system applied on site. Reinstallation happens once everything has cured -- no fingerprints in the finish, no adhesion failure six months later.
Typical Sarasota cabinet refinish runs $3,500-$8,000 depending on door count, door style (raised panel, shaker, slab), and whether you are changing color or refreshing the existing tone. That is roughly 60-75% less than tearing the boxes out and installing new cabinetry, and the result reads as factory-finished.
Color matching, glaze accents, and two-tone island-vs-perimeter combinations are all standard. See the full cabinet refinishing process including product specs, before/after photos, and timeline details.
