Cabinet Refinishing in Melbourne Beach, FL
Pro Touch Painting refinishes, resurfaces and paints kitchen and bathroom cabinets throughout Brevard County, FL — doors and drawer fronts are degreased, sanded, primed and sprayed for a factory-smooth finish, typically for a fraction of the cost of new cabinets or of refacing.
Why Melbourne Beach homes need cabinet refinishing done right
Melbourne Beach sits on the barrier island between the Atlantic and the Indian River, so every exterior here fights salt spray, UV and wind-driven rain. Older beach cottages off Ocean Avenue have wood siding, fascia and railings that need scraping, rot repair and full priming, while newer stucco and block homes along Riverside Drive mostly need a thorough wash, mildew treatment and a high-grade acrylic or elastomeric topcoat. Inside, we repaint everything from small cottage interiors to two-story oceanfront great rooms, and we finish garage floors so they stop sweating and staining.
Honey oak, maple and dark espresso cabinets date a Florida kitchen faster than anything else in the room. Refinishing (also called cabinet resurfacing) keeps the boxes you already have and replaces only the finish, so a full kitchen is usually done in a few days instead of the weeks a remodel or a refacing job takes — and at a small share of the price.
Direct salt-air exposure
Ocean-facing walls, railings and doors are washed, rinsed of chlorides and coated with products rated for coastal exposure so the finish lasts.
Wood cottages and trim
Beach cottages need scraping, wood rot repair, spot priming and caulking before paint — otherwise the finish lifts within a season.
Storm and wind-driven rain
Exterior work is scheduled around the daily storm window so every coat cures fully before the next band of weather.
How we approach cabinet refinishing in Melbourne Beach, Florida
Cabinet refinishing in Melbourne Beach is not the same job it would be inland. Brevard County homes deal with salt air blowing off the Indian River and the Atlantic, months of high humidity, daily summer rain and relentless UV. Those conditions shorten the life of the wrong product dramatically — and they punish shortcuts in prep even harder. A coating that fails early in Melbourne Beach almost never failed because of the paint; it failed because the surface underneath was not clean, dry, sound and primed before the finish went on.
So we start with assessment, not with a price. We inspect the existing finish for adhesion, chalking and mildew, check for moisture and hidden water damage, identify substrate type, and flag the repairs that have to happen first — stucco cracks, failed caulk joints, soft wood, drywall damage, or slab prep on coating work. You get a written estimate that itemizes prep, products, coat count, crew size and timeline, so nothing shifts once work begins.
The work itself follows a fixed sequence: protect the space and surroundings, clean and de-gloss or wash, complete every repair, prime the areas that need it, then apply two full finish coats of premium coatings selected for Florida coastal exposure. We spray, roll or brush based on what the surface calls for rather than what is fastest, and we hand-cut lines for a crisp edge. Nothing gets signed off until we have walked the job with you and touched up anything you point out.
Practical details matter as much as the finish. Our Melbourne Beach crews are licensed, insured and background-checked, arrive when we said we would, cover and mask thoroughly, and clean the site daily instead of at the end. You will have one point of contact for the whole project and a written warranty on workmanship. Free estimates are available across Melbourne Beach and the wider Space Coast, and every homeowner is welcome — including LGBTQ+ families.
Our cabinet refinishing process in Melbourne Beach
- Step 1
Degrease and label
Doors and drawer fronts are removed, labeled and cleaned of years of cooking grease — the step that decides whether paint bonds.
- Step 2
Sand and prime
Every surface is scuff-sanded and coated with a bonding primer made for slick factory finishes and raw oak grain.
- Step 3
Spray the finish
Doors are sprayed off-site or in a controlled area in thin, even coats, so there are no brush marks or roller texture.
- Step 4
Reinstall and adjust
Hardware goes back on, doors are re-hung and aligned, and your kitchen is left clean and usable.
- Factory-smooth sprayed finish, not brushed
- Grain-filling available on oak cabinets
- White, greige, sage and two-tone island colors
- Most kitchens finished in 3–5 days

Cabinet Refinishing in Melbourne Beach — questions
- Do you offer cabinet refinishing in Melbourne Beach, FL?
- Yes. Pro Touch Painting serves Melbourne Beach and the surrounding Brevard County area with licensed, insured crews. Call 207-812-1837 for a free written estimate.
- What is the difference between cabinet refinishing, refacing and resurfacing in Melbourne, FL?
- Refinishing (also called resurfacing) keeps your existing doors and boxes and replaces only the finish — degrease, sand, prime and spray — and runs roughly $2,000–$5,500 for a Melbourne kitchen. Refacing replaces the door and drawer fronts and applies new veneer to the boxes, usually $6,000–$12,000. Full replacement starts around $15,000. For most Brevard County kitchens with solid boxes, refinishing gives the same visual change for a third of the cost of refacing.
- Do you refinish bathroom vanities as well as kitchen cabinets?
- Yes. Bathroom cabinet and vanity refinishing is a one-to-two-day job in most Melbourne and Palm Bay homes, and we use moisture-tolerant cabinet coatings because Brevard bathrooms stay humid year round.
- How much does it cost to paint kitchen cabinets in Brevard County?
- Most Brevard County kitchen cabinet refinishing projects run roughly $2,000–$5,500 depending on door count, whether you want grain filling on oak, and how many colors are used. Every project gets a free written estimate before work begins.
- How long does cabinet refinishing take?
- A typical Brevard County kitchen takes 3–5 working days from removal to reinstall. You keep use of the kitchen through most of that time because the boxes stay in place.
- Will painted cabinets chip or peel?
- Not when they're prepped correctly. Failures come from painting over kitchen grease or skipping primer. Pro Touch degreases, scuff-sands and applies a bonding primer before spraying a durable cabinet-grade finish.
- Can honey oak cabinets be painted white?
- Yes — it's the most requested cabinet project in Brevard County. Oak grain can be filled first for a smooth modern look, or left visible if you prefer some texture.
