Cabinet Painting
in Sarasota

Refinishing is cheaper by a wide margin. It runs 50-70% less than full replacement, and most Sarasota kitchens land between $3,500 and $7,500 depending on door count, finish, and hardware. The calendar gap is bigger than the price gap: 5 to 10 business days with 2-3 days of kitchen downtime, against 1 to 2 months for a replacement. Replacement is the right answer when the boxes are failing or the layout has to change. When the boxes are sound, you are paying to throw away usable cabinetry.

Most Sarasota kitchens run $3,500 to $7,500. Door and drawer count moves the number first, then finish choice, glazing, and whether hinge holes need filling and redrilling. Be careful with a price quoted over the phone. Nobody can count your doors, check your substrate, or see the grease load above your range without standing in the kitchen. We count every piece at the walkthrough, write the price down before leaving, and that written number is what you pay.

Three honest ones. Refinishing changes color and finish, not door style or layout. The finish needs real cure time, and a crew that rushes doors back onto the boxes to look fast is building in chipped edges. And the result is only as good as the prep underneath, which is why a cheap cabinet quote is usually a quote with the degreasing, sanding, and priming taken out. What does not fail is the coating itself, as long as it is a catalyst-cured 2K polyurethane and not wall paint.

Very few, but some need a decision first. Thermofoil doors carry a vinyl film heat-pressed onto MDF, and once that film lifts at a corner it has to be handled before any coating goes on. Boxes with water-swollen bottoms, delaminated panels, or hinge holes that no longer hold a screw need repair built into the scope. Open-grain woods such as oak keep their grain through a sprayed finish unless it is filled first, which is a look you choose rather than a defect. All of it is checked at the walkthrough, before the price is written.

Most Sarasota homeowners get a 48-hour walkthrough and same-day proposal for cabinet painting. Most cabinet painting projects take 5-7 total production days with only a 2-3 day window of kitchen downtime. Your 48-hour walkthrough locks the schedule and finish plan. Grove Street Painting uses fixed pricing with no change orders. The estimate price is the final price. Every qualifying project includes a 5 or 10 year written workmanship warranty and a closeout packet documenting your products, colors, and sheens.

Cabinet Painting in Sarasota includes substrate check at the walkthrough on every door and drawer front, because wood, mdf, and thermofoil each take a different prep path and indexed hardware storage with labeled mapping for exact door and drawer reinstallation. Your project also includes degreasing for florida kitchen grease buildup followed by hepa sanding and adhesion-focused priming. As of 2026, Grove Street Painting uses only Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Renner/Milesi products, no bargain-grade substitutes. The final walkthrough confirms every detail before the 5 or 10 year written workmanship warranty takes effect.
