How Much Does Cabinet Refinishing Cost in Brevard County, FL?
Cabinet refinishing in Brevard County, FL typically costs $2,000–$5,500 for an average kitchen — roughly $100–$160 per door and drawer front — compared with $12,000–$30,000 or more to replace the same cabinets.
Refinishing keeps your existing cabinet boxes and replaces only the finish, which is why it lands at a small fraction of replacement cost. Pricing in Melbourne, Palm Bay and Viera comes down to how many doors and drawer fronts you have, whether the oak grain needs filling, and how many colors you want.

What changes the price
Door and drawer count
This is the single biggest driver. Each door is degreased, sanded, primed and sprayed on both sides.
Oak grain
Open oak grain shows through paint unless it is filled. Filling is optional but it's the difference between 'painted oak' and 'looks new'.
Number of colors
A white perimeter with a navy or sage island means a second full spray setup and masking cycle.
Condition and repairs
Water-swollen bases, loose doors, broken hinges or peeling laminate need repair before finishing.
New hardware
Reusing your handles is free. New pulls, soft-close hinges or re-drilling for different hole spacing adds material and labor.
Refinishing vs refacing vs replacement
Three different jobs get quoted for the same kitchen in Melbourne and Brevard County, and the prices are nowhere near each other. Here is what each one actually changes.
| Refinishing (painting) | Refacing | Full replacement | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Brevard kitchen | $3,000 – $4,500 | $8,000 – $16,000 | $12,000 – $30,000+ |
| What changes | The finish — doors, drawer fronts and frames are sprayed | New doors and drawer fronts, veneer over existing boxes | Everything, including boxes and layout |
| Keeps your layout | Yes | Yes | No — layout can change |
| Time in your kitchen | 3 – 5 days | 1 – 2 weeks | 3 – 6 weeks |
| Color freedom | Any color or sheen | Limited to the door lines offered | Any color |
| Fixes water-damaged boxes | No — damaged boxes are repaired or replaced first | Partly | Yes |
| Best when | Boxes are solid and you want a new look for the least money | Doors are dated or damaged but boxes are good | Layout or storage no longer works |
What the 4 days look like
Day 1 — Teardown and prep
Hardware and doors are labeled and removed, boxes are degreased, and the kitchen is masked off with plastic and floor protection.
Day 2 — Sanding and priming
Every surface is scuff-sanded, grain is filled if you chose that option, and a bonding primer made for slick factory finishes goes on.
Day 3 — Spray coats
Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed flat in a controlled area; boxes and face frames are sprayed in place. Two finish coats with cure time between.
Day 4 — Cure, reinstall, walkthrough
Hardware goes back on, doors are re-hung and adjusted, masking comes down, and we walk the kitchen with you before final payment.
Why Space Coast homeowners choose Pro Touch Painting
Pro Touch Painting is a Brevard County painting company working across Melbourne, Palm Bay, Viera, Suntree, West Melbourne, Rockledge, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Merritt Island, Satellite Beach, Indialantic, and Titusville. We handle interior painting, exterior repaints, cabinet refinishing, epoxy garage and patio floors, and commercial work for local property managers and small businesses. Everything is quoted in writing after we see the property, because Florida prep varies far too much between houses to price sight-unseen.
An honest cost range is only useful to you if the process behind it is consistent, so ours is fixed: walk the job together, document the substrate and the repairs it needs, put the scope and product list in writing, protect the space thoroughly, complete every repair before any finish coat, apply two full coats of coastal-rated premium product, then walk the finished work with you and correct anything you point out before we ask for final payment.
The details homeowners tell us matter most are the ordinary ones. Crews arrive in the window we promised and call if weather moves the schedule. Furniture, floors, landscaping, and driveways are covered and masked. The site is cleaned every afternoon rather than at the end of the week. One person owns communication for the whole project, so you are never chasing an answer. Licensing, general liability insurance, and background checks are in place before anyone sets foot on your property, and workmanship is warrantied in writing.
Our reviews come from that consistency, not from discounts. If you want to see the work first, the photo galleries show real Brevard County projects — stucco exteriors, lived-in interiors, sprayed cabinet kitchens, and ground-and-coated garage floors — with before and after images from the same rooms and the same elevations. Free estimates are available countywide, usually within a couple of business days, and every homeowner is welcome here, including LGBTQ+ families.

- Is it cheaper to paint or replace kitchen cabinets?
- Painting is dramatically cheaper. Refinishing an average Brevard County kitchen runs $3,000–$4,500, while replacing the same cabinets typically costs $12,000–$30,000 or more before countertops and demolition.
- How long does cabinet refinishing take?
- Most kitchens are finished in 3–5 days. Doors come off and are sprayed in a controlled area while boxes and frames are finished in place, so your kitchen is usable again quickly.
