Cabinet Painting in Tampa Bay
Tired cabinets are one of the fastest ways to update a kitchen or bathroom without a full renovation. Jr Pro Painting LLC preps and paints cabinet boxes and doors for a smooth, durable finish that holds up to daily use.
Why Cabinets Need a Different Approach
Cabinets take more abuse than walls — grease, steam, and daily hands touching the same spots. Standard wall paint won't hold up, so cabinet work needs proper degreasing, sanding for adhesion, and a harder, wipeable topcoat than what goes on a bedroom wall. Skipping any of those steps is why some painted cabinets start peeling within months.
Signs Your Cabinets Are Ready for a Refresh
- Dated wood tone or color that doesn't match the rest of the kitchen anymore
- Grease buildup and grime that won't fully clean off
- Chipped or worn finish around handles and high-touch areas
- Wanting a kitchen update without the cost or mess of full replacement
Our Cabinet Painting Process
- Remove doors & hardware. Doors and drawer fronts labeled and taken off for easier, more even coverage.
- Degrease & clean. Kitchen grime and cooking residue removed so paint actually bonds.
- Sand & fill. Surfaces scuffed for adhesion; dents or gaps filled and smoothed.
- Prime & paint. A bonding primer followed by a durable, wipeable topcoat.
- Cure & reinstall. Doors get proper cure time before hardware and reinstallation.
What Affects the Price
Cabinet painting pricing depends on the number of doors and drawers, whether you want a single color or a two-tone look, the condition of the existing finish, and hardware changes if you're updating handles or hinges at the same time.

Cabinet Painting FAQs
Is cabinet painting cheaper than replacing my cabinets?
Painting your existing cabinet boxes and doors is almost always less expensive than full replacement, since you're keeping the cabinet structure and only changing the finish. It's a common way to update a kitchen without a full renovation.
Will painted cabinets hold up to daily kitchen use?
With the right prep — degreasing, sanding, and a durable topcoat — painted cabinets can handle daily use, including humidity from cooking. Kitchens see more wear than most rooms, so we don't skip prep steps to save time.
Do you paint cabinets on-site or remove the doors?
Doors and drawer fronts typically come off and get painted separately for a smoother, more even finish, while boxes are painted in place. This also lets us keep your kitchen partially usable during the project.
Can I do a two-tone cabinet look — one color on top, another on the island or lower cabinets?
Yes, two-tone is a popular request. We'll help plan the color split and hardware so the contrast looks intentional rather than mismatched.
How long until I can put my cabinets back into full use?
Doors need proper cure time before hardware goes back on and they see regular use — rushing this is the most common reason painted cabinets chip early. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the estimate based on the products used.
