Breathe New Life Into Your Cabinets
A homeowner in Palm City told us her kitchen felt dark and outdated, but she didn’t want to replace the cabinets. The wood was solid. It just looked worn. We painted her cabinets a soft white, added new handles, and sealed the finish. She called later and said, “It feels brand new.” At Duque Professional Painting and Stucco INC, we hear that often. Cabinet painting is a fast way to refresh a space without the cost of a full remodel.
What Cabinet Painting Includes
Cabinet painting is not the same as wall painting. We remove doors and drawers, clean off grease and buildup, sand surfaces, fill dents, and apply primer. Then we spray or brush on high-quality cabinet paint that resists chips, water, and heat. We reattach the pieces and add soft-close hardware if requested. The result looks clean, smooth, and durable.
Why Hire a Professional Painter for Cabinets
Cabinets take more wear than walls. Paint must be stronger and smoother. It also needs the right prep. If not sanded or primed properly, cabinet paint will peel within months. That’s why Duque Professional Painting and Stucco INC uses tools and paints made for cabinetry. In kitchens, we use stain-blocking primers and enamel finishes. In bathrooms, we use moisture-resistant coatings. Each job is done by hand, with a careful touch.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Most of our cabinet jobs are in kitchens. We help clients in Port St. Lucie, River Park, and Florida Ridge brighten up old oak, maple, or cherry cabinets. Whether you want white, navy, gray, or a custom color, we can match the shade to your walls, countertops, and flooring. For example, we recently painted a set of honey-colored cabinets in Fort Pierce North a cool slate gray to match new stainless appliances.
Bathroom Vanity Painting
We also paint bathroom vanities. This helps keep the look of your home consistent and clean. In Stuart, we helped a family update both bathrooms with matching colors and hardware. We used enamel paints that resist water splashes and fading. As a result, the bathrooms looked cleaner and more modern without any demolition.
Paint Types and Finishes for Cabinets
We use satin and semi-gloss paints for most cabinet jobs. Satin gives a softer look while still being easy to clean. Semi-gloss adds more shine and is good for high-use areas. We also offer oil-based options for extreme durability, though most homeowners choose water-based for low odor and fast drying. You can choose from whites, neutrals, bold colors, or even two-tone designs.
Cabinet Painting vs. Cabinet Refacing
Some people ask about refacing instead of painting. Refacing means replacing doors and drawer fronts while keeping the cabinet boxes. That can cost three times more than painting. If your cabinets are in good shape, painting is often the smarter option. It saves money, reduces waste, and still looks like a full renovation.
How Long Does Cabinet Painting Take?
Most kitchen cabinet jobs take 3 to 5 days. We remove the doors and paint them off-site while working on the boxes in your home. This keeps your space clean and reduces downtime. For bathroom vanities or laundry cabinets, work is often done in 1 to 2 days. We give you a schedule before we begin and update you each day.
Cost of Cabinet Painting in Port St. Lucie
Kitchen cabinet painting starts around $1,500 and goes up based on size and condition. A full kitchen with many cabinets can range from $2,500 to $4,500. We include labor, primer, paint, sanding, and hardware reinstall. We also offer pricing for vanities, laundry cabinets, and built-ins. You’ll get a clear, written quote with no hidden fees.
Cabinet Painting for Rentals and Real Estate
If you’re selling a home or prepping a rental, painting the cabinets is one of the best ways to raise appeal. In Lakewood Park, a homeowner hired us to paint the kitchen and bathroom cabinets before listing. The home sold within a week. In another case, a landlord in Port Salerno used our service between tenants. The new family moved in the next weekend. Clean cabinets make a big impact.
HOA Rules and Helpful Resources
Most HOAs do not require approval for cabinet painting, but if windows face the street, exterior color rules may apply. When in doubt, contact your HOA first. You can also check the City of Port St. Lucie for general homeowner guidelines. If you live outside the city, visit the St. Lucie County website for more information.
