Naples, FL
Cabinet Refinishing in Naples, FL
A town where the finish is the whole point, and where half the owners are not in the house when the work happens.
Naples kitchens
Naples kitchens skew newer and considerably better specified — solid wood doors, deeper runs, more of them, and coastal-contemporary styling that has moved decisively toward off-whites and soft greiges. The cabinets are frequently far too good to replace and simply the wrong colour for how the room is used now.
Named areas he works in and around: Old Naples, Park Shore, Pelican Bay, Vineyards, Golden Gate Estates.
The thing worth knowing here
Two things shape a Naples job more than the cabinets do. The first is that a lot of these are second homes, so the work happens while the owner is a thousand miles away — which makes photographs at each stage part of the job rather than a favour. The second is that condo and gated communities set their own rules on working hours, elevator use and contractor access, and the schedule has to be built around them. Both are easier to plan for than to discover.
Getting to Naples
Naples is one of the towns he names himself as regular territory. It is a longer drive than Lee County and it is a normal one.
He covers the whole of Southwest Florida. If you are somewhere nearby that is not named on this page, that is not a no — send the photo and he will tell you whether he can get to you.
How the job runs
- 01
Doors, drawer fronts and hardware come off
Everything is labelled as it comes down so it goes back exactly where it came from. Hinges and handles are bagged by cabinet.
- 02
Degrease, then sand
Kitchen cabinets carry years of cooking grease, and nothing bonds to grease. They are cleaned first, then scuff-sanded to give the primer something to key into. This step is invisible in the finished job and is the one that decides whether it lasts.
- 03
Fill, prime and de-nib
Dings and old hardware holes are filled where you want them gone. Primer goes on, gets sanded back smooth, and any grain that raises is knocked down before colour.
- 04
Spray colour
Multiple thin coats rather than one heavy one. Sprayed in a controlled space, not in your kitchen, which is what keeps dust and insects out of a wet finish.
- 05
Cure, then rehang
Paint is touch-dry in hours and fully hard in considerably longer. Doors go back on once they can take handling, and he will tell you how long to be gentle with them.
