Cabinet Painting and Refinishing in Jacksonville, FL
Looking for professional cabinet painting and refinishing in Jacksonville? New Empire paints and refinishes kitchen cabinets across Jacksonville and Northeast Florida — from historic Riverside and San Marco to the Beaches, St. Johns County, and Clay County. Whether you want a bold new color or a restored natural finish, we deliver a smooth, durable, factory-quality result without the cost of full replacement.
How Much Does Cabinet Refinishing Cost in Jacksonville?
Cabinet refinishing in Jacksonville typically costs a fraction of full replacement. A bathroom vanity runs about $500–$1,500; a standard kitchen with around 30 doors in a single color is roughly $3,500–$6,500; a 40-door two-tone kitchen runs $6,000–$9,000; and a 50+ door premium project with custom color and hardware upgrades ranges $8,000–$12,000. You get an exact price in a free in-home estimate before any work begins.
How Long Does a Refinished Finish Last?
Professionally refinished cabinets last 8 to 12 years with proper care. The biggest factor is prep and the spray system — not the paint brand. We degrease, sand, prime with a bonding primer, and spray (never brush) for a factory-smooth finish built to withstand Florida’s humidity. That’s the difference between a finish that lasts a decade and one that peels in a year. Call (904) 820-5573 for a line-item quote on cabinet painting and refinishing in Jacksonville.
Cabinet Painting & Refinishing in Jacksonville — Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to paint or replace kitchen cabinets?
If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, refinishing or painting gives you a brand-new look for a fraction of replacement cost. Replacement only makes sense when the boxes are damaged or you need a different layout.
How much does cabinet refinishing cost in Jacksonville?
Most kitchens fall between $3,500 and $9,000 depending on the number of doors and whether you choose one color or two-tone. Small projects can start under $2,000.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
Most projects take 3 to 7 working days from removal to reinstall.
Will the finish hold up in Florida humidity?
Yes — we use industrial-grade primers and finishes chosen for Florida’s climate, sprayed for a durable, factory-smooth result.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes — a free, no-pressure in-home estimate with an exact price. Call (904) 820-5573.
Cabinet Refacing vs. Refinishing — Which Do You Need?
Homeowners searching for cabinet refacing near me in Jacksonville often aren’t sure whether they need refacing or refinishing. Both update your kitchen for a fraction of replacement cost, but they’re different:
Refinishing cleans, sands, primes, and sprays your existing doors with a new finish — ideal when you like your door style and want a durable, updated color. Refacing replaces the door and drawer fronts entirely while keeping your cabinet boxes — ideal when the door style itself feels dated. New Empire offers both across Jacksonville, and we’ll recommend the right one for your cabinets in a free in-home estimate.

Recent Work: Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing in Jacksonville Beach
This is the clearest example we have of what refinishing actually buys you. This Jacksonville Beach kitchen was large and well built — a full wall of cherry-stained cabinetry, a matching island with a built-in wine fridge, granite counters, a travertine backsplash and exposed wood ceiling beams. Nothing was falling apart. The problem was that the deep red-brown stain made the whole room read dark and dated, and it fought with everything else in the house.
Replacing that cabinetry would have been a $40,000-plus project, and it would have meant tearing out the granite and the backsplash to do it. Instead we refinished what was already there. Every door, drawer front and cabinet frame was removed, degreased, sanded, primed and sprayed to a smooth white finish — including the island and the tall pantry surround. The dated hardware came off and champagne-bronze pulls went on. We added under-cabinet lighting and repainted the walls to work with the new palette.
What stayed: the granite counters, the travertine backsplash, the stainless appliances, the wine fridge, the wood beams and the entire layout. What changed: the finish — and with it, the whole room. Same kitchen, same footprint, a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the disruption of a tear-out.
Recent Work: Primary Bath Cabinet Refinishing in the Same Jacksonville Beach Area
This Jacksonville Beach primary bathroom is a good example of what refinishing actually does. The homeowner had a solid double vanity in dark stained wood — nothing wrong with the boxes, but the finish and the hardware dated the whole room to the decade the house was built. Replacing the vanity would have meant tearing out the granite counter and both undermount sinks along with it.
We refinished the existing cabinetry instead. The doors, drawer fronts and frames were degreased, sanded, primed and sprayed to a smooth white finish, and the dated brass-tone pulls were swapped for matte black hardware. The granite counter, both sinks and the plumbing all stayed exactly where they were. While the cabinets cured, we repainted the walls and swapped the oversized builder mirror and the 1990s shell-shade light bar for two framed mirrors and modern black sconces.
The result reads as a completely different bathroom, but the structure, the counter and the plumbing were never touched. That is the entire argument for refinishing over replacing — and on the Beaches it matters twice over, because salt air is hard on cheap hardware and on finishes that were not sprayed and cured properly.
Both of these projects are Jacksonville Beach homes, and that matters. Near the ocean, salt air is hard on hardware and on finishes that were not sprayed and cured properly — a cheap cabinet paint job shows its age faster here than it does inland. We spray a cabinet-grade finish and cure it properly for exactly that reason. If you are in Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach or Ponte Vedra, see our cabinet refinishing in Jacksonville Beach page.
Our 1-Year Warranty on Paint and Finish
Every cabinet painting and refinishing project we complete is backed by a 1-year warranty on our paint and finish work. If the finish fails within that year because of how we prepped or sprayed it, we come back and make it right. We put that in writing with your estimate.
That warranty is only possible because of the prep. A cabinet finish that chips, yellows or peels almost always traces back to a step that was skipped — degreasing, sanding, or the right primer for the substrate. In Jacksonville’s humidity, and especially near the water in Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach and Ponte Vedra, that shortcut shows up within a season or two. We do not skip it, which is why we can stand behind the work.
Professional Cabinet Painting and Refinishing in Jacksonville, FL
Painting changes your cabinets’ color with a solid, opaque finish — ideal for updating dated wood to white, gray, navy, or greige. Refinishing restores or renews the existing surface, often keeping a wood look. Not sure which fits your kitchen?
