Why Melbourne homes need cabinet refinishing done right

Melbourne homes range from mid-century block ranches near downtown and Eau Gallie to newer stucco builds off Wickham Road, plus riverfront properties along the Indian River. Each needs a different prep approach — older block walls need crack repair and elastomeric-grade coatings, while newer stucco mostly needs proper cleaning and a quality acrylic topcoat. Inside, we repaint everything from 1960s plaster walls to two-story great rooms in Suntree and Baytree.

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.

Salt air off the Indian River

Homes east of US-1 see faster chalking and fading. We spec exterior coatings rated for coastal exposure and prime bare spots before topcoating.

Afternoon summer storms

We schedule exterior work around Melbourne's daily storm window so coatings cure properly instead of washing out.

1960s–70s block ranches

Downtown and Eau Gallie homes need stucco crack repair, spot priming and a breathable masonry coating — not just a fresh color over failing paint.

Cabinet refinishing is our most requested Melbourne interior job. Doors are degreased, sanded, primed and sprayed for a factory-smooth finish.

How we approach cabinet refinishing in Melbourne, Florida

Cabinet refinishing in Melbourne 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 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 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 2-year warranty on workmanship. Free estimates are available across Melbourne and the wider Space Coast, and every homeowner is welcome — including LGBTQ+ families.

Our cabinet refinishing process in Melbourne

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

Oak cabinets sprayed white with a navy island in Melbourne

A two-tone refinish: perimeter cabinets sprayed a warm white and the island sprayed navy. Grease was cut with a degreaser first, every door was scuff-sanded and bonding-primed, and the finish was sprayed for a factory-smooth surface with no brush marks.

Our prep standards for cabinet refinishing

Prep is the part of the job you never see once we are gone, and it is the only reason a finish lasts in Brevard County's heat, salt and humidity. This is the sequence we follow on every cabinet refinishing job — it is written into your estimate, not left to chance.

  1. Step 1

    Remove, label and inventory

    Every door, drawer front and piece of hardware is removed, labeled and bagged so it all returns exactly where it started.

  2. Step 2

    Degrease twice

    Doors around the range carry years of cooking oil. They are cleaned with a dedicated degreaser and rinsed — this single step decides whether the finish bonds or peels at the handles.

  3. Step 3

    Sand every surface

    Doors, drawer fronts, boxes and face frames are scuff-sanded so the primer has tooth. Factory clear coats are slick; primer alone will not hold on them.

  4. Step 4

    Fill and repair

    Dings, old hardware holes and grain that will telegraph through are filled and sanded flat. Open-grain oak is grain-filled when you want a fully smooth look.

  5. Step 5

    Contain the kitchen

    Countertops, appliances, backsplash and floors are masked and the work area is put under containment with filtered ventilation before any spraying starts.

  6. Step 6

    Spray off-site conditions, on-site

    Doors are sprayed flat on racks and left to cure; boxes and face frames are sprayed in place. Your kitchen stays usable in the evenings throughout.

Coatings and materials we use for cabinet refinishing

We spec products for Florida exposure, not for the lowest material cost. Here is the system, layer by layer, and why each layer is there.

  • Cleaner

    Cabinet-grade degreaser

    Removes the cooking film that causes adhesion failure at the handles and around the stove.

    Two passes

  • Primer

    High-bond adhesion primer (stain-blocking on oak and stained wood)

    Grips slick factory finishes and stops tannin from bleeding yellow through a white topcoat.

    One to two

  • Finish

    Waterborne alkyd or cabinet-grade urethane enamel, sprayed

    Cures to a hard, factory-smooth film that stands up to fingernails, cleaners and daily use.

    Two, sanded between

  • Islands and accents

    Same enamel in a second color

    A navy or sage island against white perimeter cabinets is the most requested Brevard look and costs no extra labor beyond the color change.

What drives the price of cabinet refinishing in Brevard County

Cabinet refinishing is priced by door and drawer count, not by kitchen square footage — a big kitchen with simple slab doors can cost less than a small kitchen with 40 detailed doors.

  • Door and drawer count

    The main driver. We count them on the walk and put the count in the estimate.

  • Door style

    Raised-panel and detailed profiles take longer to sand and spray than shaker or slab.

  • Wood species

    Open-grain oak needs grain filling for a smooth finish; maple and MDF do not.

  • Two-tone or island color

    A second color means separate masking and spray sessions.

  • Interiors and shelving

    Painting inside the boxes and the shelves is optional and quoted separately.

  • Hardware changes

    New pulls, or filling and re-drilling for a different hole spacing, is its own line.

Cabinet Refinishing in Melbourne — questions

Do you offer cabinet refinishing in Melbourne, FL?
Yes. Pro Touch Painting serves Melbourne 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.
