Cabinet Painting in Treasure Coast

Cabinet painting is the single highest-impact interior project we do on the Treasure Coast, and the kitchens that reach out are usually one of two houses: a 1980s or 1990s Stuart, Palm City, or Fort Pierce build with honey oak that has read dated since roughly 2015, or a Port St. Lucie or Wellington kitchen with builder-grade maple or alder that never suited the client. Both refinish beautifully, but prep is different: oak needs its heavy grain filled if the client wants a truly smooth face, and maple needs a stain-blocking primer to keep tannins from bleeding through lighter colors. Our writeup on the best paint for cabinets walks through the coatings actually used on Treasure Coast kitchens.

Two-tone kitchens dominate the requests we see across Jupiter, Hobe Sound, and newer PSL subdivisions: warm off-white perimeters paired with a saturated island in deep navy, forest green, or a warm charcoal. Older Stuart and Fort Pierce remodels lean into layered heritage tones with brushed brass or matte black hardware, which asks the finish to be flatter and harder-wearing than a typical semi-gloss. The finish schedule is built for a sprayed, hand-leveled result on doors and drawer fronts, with brush-and-roll only where a spray simply cannot go without masking the entire house.

Treasure Coast kitchens work hard in a humid, salt-heavy climate: long AC cycles, gas ranges, and Atlantic air push grease and film onto cabinet fronts long before the finish itself fails. Crews degrease with a real cleaner rather than a wipe-down, sand for adhesion, and use a cabinet-grade waterborne alkyd that cures hard enough that a rag with soap does not lift color months later. Cabinet work sequences cleanly with any interior painting already on the scope, and where soffit removal exposed unfinished drywall we can fold in drywall repair so the whole kitchen returns as one finished room.
