Tampa Bay’s Trusted Cabinet Painters
Professional Cabinet Painting in Tampa, FL
Tampa's Trusted Cabinet Painting Company
For most Tampa homeowners, the cabinets do all the visual work in the kitchen. They are also the first thing to look dated when the rest of the home gets updated, which is why a full cabinet repaint can shave a decade off your kitchen for a fraction of what new cabinetry would cost. Tampa Painting is a licensed and insured residential painter based in Brandon, serving cabinet refresh clients across Tampa, South Tampa, and Carrollwood, plus the broader Bay area. Our cabinet specialty crews handle every step in our shop and on site, including removing doors and drawer fronts, deep cleaning every surface, hand sanding to break the original finish, priming with a bonding primer formulated for cabinet boxes, and spraying two to three coats of cabinet grade enamel for a finish that cures hard and cleans easy. Most cabinet projects pair naturally with kitchen painting so walls, ceilings, and cabinets coordinate as one design, and many clients fold in residential interior painting when the entire main floor needs to flow together. Whether your goal is a quick white refresh, a dramatic two tone color change, or a sage green island that becomes the new focal point of the room, we treat every cabinet job like the long term investment it is.
Cabinet Areas We Paint
From the kitchen cabinets that anchor the busiest room in the house to the small built ins in your hallway nobody notices until they are freshly painted, we refinish every cabinet surface across Tampa Bay with furniture grade enamels designed to cure hard, scrub clean, and hold their color through years of daily use. Bathroom vanities, custom built ins, pantry doors, and laundry cabinets all run through the same prep, prime, and spray standard, whether the project is a single powder room vanity in Wesley Chapel or a full custom built in upgrade somewhere across the Bay.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting
The biggest visual upgrade you can give a Tampa kitchen short of tearing it apart. We label and remove every door, hinge, and drawer front, take them to our shop or garage staging area, and spray a furniture grade enamel that cures hard. Cabinet boxes are sanded, primed, and brushed or sprayed on site.
Bathroom Vanity Painting
A fresh vanity changes the entire feel of a Tampa bathroom. We remove the doors, sand, prime, and spray a moisture resistant cabinet enamel rated for the humidity around a tub or shower, then reinstall hardware after the paint fully cures.
Two Tone and Accent Color Changes
White uppers with a deeper island, navy lowers with cream uppers, or a single bold color on a butler pantry. We coordinate cabinet color with the wall, countertop, and backsplash palette already in the room. Especially popular across the renovated bungalows of Riverview where homeowners want a custom kitchen look without a custom kitchen budget.
Built In and Custom Cabinet Painting
Built in bookshelves, entertainment centers, mudroom cubbies, and custom millwork repainted in a color that ties into the rest of the home. Sometimes paired with a wall refresh, sometimes a standalone upgrade.
Cabinet Hardware Coordination
We replace, refresh, or relocate cabinet hardware as part of the project. Hardware changes are one of the lowest cost, highest impact details on a cabinet refresh, especially when paired with a fresh wall color.
Cabinet Touch Up and Repair
Sometimes a full repaint is overkill. We touch up chipped corners, scratched doors, and worn handles, color matched to your existing finish. If the prep reveals damage in the wall behind the cabinet, we also handle drywall repair before the next phase begins.
Why Tampa Homeowners Trust Our Cabinet Painters
Licensed Hillsborough County painters, furniture grade cabinet enamels, hand sanded prep, and a written warranty on every cabinet we refinish. From the first paint chip selection to the final hardware install, we treat your cabinets like the focal point of the room. Coastal homeowners across Apollo Beach trust us with cabinets that need to survive year round salt air and humidity from the kitchen window all the way to the laundry room.
Furniture Grade Cabinet Enamels
Premium cabinet grade enamels formulated to cure hard, scrub clean, and resist the daily contact, splash, and grease that wears regular wall paint down in a year.
Hand Sanded Prep on Every Door
Every door, drawer front, and frame is hand sanded to break the original factory finish before primer goes on. No skipping prep, no shortcuts, no peeling six months later.
Off Site Spray Booth Finish
Doors and drawer fronts go to our shop or garage staging area to be sprayed in a controlled environment with no overspray on your floors, counters, or appliances.
Reinstall and Hardware Adjust
We reinstall every door, replace or refresh hardware, and adjust hinges so cabinet doors hang level and close properly when the project is complete.

Reviews From Tampa Business Owners
Hundreds of Tampa Bay families have trusted us with their cabinets, from quick bathroom vanity refreshes in Temple Terrace to full whole kitchen cabinet transformations in custom homes across the Bay area. Every cabinet project closes with a hardware reinstall, a working door check, and a written warranty, which is why our cabinet work keeps earning five star reviews from homeowners who notice the difference every time they walk into the room.
Serving Tampa and Surrounding Areas
We are headquartered at 210 E Robertson Street in Brandon, but our cabinet painting crews and our off site spray booth cover Hillsborough and Pinellas counties every week of the year. Our shop staging means doors can come off your cabinets, ride to Brandon to be sprayed in a controlled, dust free environment, and return installed and ready inside a matter of days. Across the Bay in Clearwater, where coastal salt air can wreak havoc on a poorly prepped finish, we use the same humidity rated cabinet enamels and the same hand sanded prep we use everywhere else, so your finish lasts whether your kitchen looks at the Gulf, the Hillsborough River, or the cul de sac out front. Every Tampa Bay cabinet project gets the same five step process and the same written warranty on the day the doors go back on.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cabinet Painting
How much does cabinet painting cost in Tampa?
Most kitchen cabinet refinishes run $2,500 to $6,500 depending on cabinet count, finish spec, and whether we paint cabinet interiors. A standalone bathroom vanity runs $400 to $900. Every quote is itemized by door count, drawer count, and box square footage so you see exactly what you are paying for.
How long does cabinet painting take?
A standard kitchen cabinet refresh takes 5 to 8 days from door removal to final reinstall. Smaller projects like a single bathroom vanity wrap in 3 to 4 days. Cabinet enamel needs full cure time between coats, which is why we plan the schedule around cure windows rather than working hours.
Do you remove cabinet doors before painting?
Yes. Cabinet doors are typically removed so they can be properly prepared and painted.
What type of paint do you use on cabinets?
We use durable coatings designed specifically for cabinetry to provide a smooth and long lasting finish.
Can you paint over thermofoil or laminate cabinets?
Yes, but the prep is different. We use specialty bonding primers formulated for thermofoil, melamine, and laminate, and we adjust the spec for the substrate. We will tell you up front whether your cabinets are good candidates or whether a different approach makes more sense.
Do you reinstall hardware or do I buy new hardware?
