Cabinet Painting in Bartow, FL
Cabinet painting and refinishing is one of the most cost-effective ways to update your kitchen, bathroom, or built-in storage without the expense of full replacement. At Gonzalez Painting and Home Improvement, we provide professional cabinet painting services to homeowners throughout Bartow, FL. Whether you're looking to refresh outdated finishes or completely transform the style of your cabinetry, our detailed process delivers durable, factory-smooth results suited to daily use.
Our team works with both wood and composite materials and uses specialized paints and finishes designed to withstand moisture, cleaning products, and heavy handling—making your cabinets look brand new while extending their lifespan.
Preparing Cabinets for a Lasting Finish
Proper preparation is the foundation of every successful cabinet painting project. Before any primer or paint is applied, we thoroughly clean all cabinet surfaces to remove grease, dust, and residue that could interfere with adhesion. This is especially important in kitchens, where cooking oils and humidity affect wood and finish quality over time.
We remove all cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware to allow for complete surface access and a cleaner, more consistent result. After removal, all surfaces are sanded to create a smooth base and open the existing finish so primer and paint bond properly. If the cabinets have peeling, cracking, or chipped finishes, we repair these areas with wood filler and sand them smooth before moving on to the next step.
Professional Priming and Coating Process
Once cabinets are prepped, we apply a high-adhesion bonding primer that seals the surface and provides a strong base for topcoat paint. This step helps prevent future peeling and ensures the color coats apply smoothly and evenly.
Our painting process includes multiple thin coats of cabinet-grade enamel, acrylic, or hybrid water-based alkyds—depending on the needs of the space and the materials used. These finishes are selected for their durability, stain resistance, and ability to withstand the high-use environment of kitchens and bathrooms. We apply finishes using professional sprayers or fine brushes and rollers, ensuring clean edges, smooth coverage, and minimal texture.
Custom Color Options and Design Coordination
Cabinet painting allows for a wide range of design flexibility. In Bartow homes, color trends range from bright whites and grays to bold blues, greens, and even two-tone combinations. Whether you're matching existing décor or building a new color scheme, our team works with you to select the best finish for your space.
We also offer paint sheen options such as satin, semi-gloss, or matte depending on your aesthetic and functional goals. Sheen choice impacts how light reflects off the surface and how easy it is to clean. Our cabinet refinishing services can help coordinate your cabinets with new countertops, flooring, or wall colors during a renovation or interior update.
Cabinet Refinishing for Wood Cabinets
In addition to painting, we offer refinishing services for stained wood cabinetry that has faded, darkened, or been damaged over time. This process involves stripping the old finish, sanding to remove imperfections, and applying new stain and protective topcoats. Refinishing allows you to restore the original beauty of wood grain or change the tone entirely without sacrificing the quality of the cabinet structure.
Refinishing is ideal for homes with custom wood cabinets that are structurally sound but visually outdated. We match or modify stain tones to give your cabinetry a modern appearance while preserving the natural material.
Cabinet Painting for Bathrooms, Built-ins, and Storage
Our cabinet painting services extend beyond the kitchen. In Bartow, we frequently paint bathroom vanities, linen closets, laundry room cabinetry, and custom built-ins. These areas benefit from the same prep-intensive process and professional-grade finishes as kitchen cabinetry.
Whether it's a full wall unit in a living room or a storage bench in a mudroom, we deliver precise, clean results across all interior built-in furniture. All surfaces are primed, painted, and sealed to ensure durability and appearance consistency.
