Refinishing vs. refacing vs. replacement
The first decision is which path your kitchen actually needs. All three change how cabinets look; they differ enormously in cost and disruption.
| Option | What changes | Typical Jacksonville cost | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refinishing | Existing doors + boxes get a new sprayed finish | $3,000 – $12,000 | Boxes and doors are solid; you want a new color or finish |
| Refacing | New doors + drawer fronts + frame veneer; boxes stay | $7,000 – $18,000 | You want a different door style without a remodel |
| Replacement | Everything torn out and rebuilt | $15,000 – $40,000+ | Boxes are damaged or the layout is changing |
For most Jacksonville kitchens with sound cabinetry, refinishing delivers the biggest visual change per dollar. We break down the money side in depth in our cabinet painting vs. replacement cost comparison.
How much cabinet refinishing costs in Jacksonville
Price is driven by three things: how many doors and drawers you have, the finish system, and whether you want one color or a two-tone look.

How long does cabinet refinishing take?
A typical Jacksonville kitchen takes 5 to 10 working days:
1. Day 1 — Removal and masking. Doors, drawers, and hardware come off and are labeled; the kitchen is sealed off with plastic and the counters and floors are protected.
2. Days 2–3 — Cleaning, sanding, priming. Every surface is degreased, scuff-sanded, and coated with a bonding primer. This is where a job lives or dies.
3. Days 4–7 — Spraying and curing. Two to three coats of waterborne lacquer are sprayed, with cure time between coats. Doors are sprayed off-site or in a controlled area for a dust-free finish.
4. Final day — Reinstall. Doors, drawers, new hardware, and soft-close hinges go back on, followed by a walk-through.
You keep using most of your kitchen during the project; only the cabinets are off-limits while they cure.

What to look for in a cabinet refinishing contractor
The single biggest predictor of a finish that lasts is the prep and the spray system, not the brand of paint. Before you book any Jacksonville cabinet refinishing contractor, confirm:
If you are also planning broader updates — new countertops, a tile backsplash, crown moulding, or trim work — line up the refinishing to happen after the dusty trades and before final styling. We routinely coordinate cabinet finishing around a homeowner's other remodeling contractors so the sprayed surfaces stay pristine.
Best cabinet color options in 2026
White remains the most-requested cabinet color in Jacksonville, but the winning whites have warmth: Benjamin Moore White Dove, Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, and Benjamin Moore Simply White lead our bookings. Two-tone schemes (white uppers over a greige, navy, or sage lower) are the fastest-growing request. Our full breakdown is in the best white cabinet paint colors for 2026.

Frequently asked questions
How long does cabinet refinishing take in Jacksonville?
A typical kitchen cabinet refinishing project in Jacksonville takes 5 to 10 working days from start to finish. That includes 1 day to remove doors and mask the kitchen, 1 to 2 days of cleaning, sanding, and priming, 2 to 4 days of spraying and curing between coats, and a final day for reinstallation and hardware. A small vanity or built-in can be done in 2 to 3 days.
How much does cabinet refinishing cost in Jacksonville?
Cabinet refinishing in Jacksonville costs $3,000 to $12,000 depending on door count, finish system, and whether you choose one color or a two-tone scheme. A standard 30-door kitchen in a single color runs $3,500 to $6,500; a 40-door two-tone kitchen runs $6,000 to $9,000. Refinishing typically costs 50 to 70 percent less than full cabinet replacement.
What is the difference between cabinet refinishing, refacing, and replacement?
Refinishing keeps your existing doors and boxes and applies a new sprayed finish — the most affordable option for solid cabinets in good shape. Refacing keeps the boxes but installs new doors and drawer fronts plus a matching veneer on the frames — a middle option when you want a new door style. Replacement tears everything out and installs new cabinetry — the most expensive, justified only when boxes are water-damaged or the layout is changing.
What should I look for in a cabinet refinishing contractor in Jacksonville?
Choose a contractor who sprays (not brushes) with a durable waterborne lacquer such as Sherwin-Williams ProClassic or Benjamin Moore Advance, degreases and sands every surface, uses a bonding primer, and works in a controlled, dust-free setup. Confirm they are licensed and insured, ask to see recent local projects and Google reviews, and get the prep process, finish system, drying time, and warranty in writing before booking.
How long does refinished cabinet paint last?
A properly applied premium cabinet enamel lasts 8 to 10 years before noticeable wear shows at high-touch points like the edges around pulls. Saving a quart of the original paint for occasional touch-ups can extend the functional life to 12 to 15 years.
