Cabinet Refinishing

A Kitchen Transformation at a Fraction of Replacement Cost

Full cabinet replacement can change a kitchen, but it also eats a big chunk of the budget.

Cabinet refinishing keeps your layout and boxes in place and puts the spend where it shows up: on color, finish, and how the doors feel in your hand.

For Greenville homeowners, that often means:

You get a noticeable kitchen reset without weeks of demo, new cabinet invoices, or living through a full remodel.

Why Apex

Why Greenville Homeowners Choose Apex for Cabinet Refinishing

Sticky doors, chipped edges around the pulls, and a finish that looks tired six months in — that’s what happens when cabinets get treated like just another paint job.

For cabinet refinishing projects in Greenville, we treat your doors and frames like the hardest‑working surfaces in the house: cleaned until the grease is gone, sanded until the edges feel right, primed so the new finish grabs on, and coated with Sherwin‑Williams systems that are meant to be opened and closed all day.

The goal isn’t just a new color — it’s a kitchen or bath that still feels like an upgrade years later.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We refinish most painted or previously finished kitchen and bath cabinets, including doors, drawer fronts, boxes, frames, islands, pantry cabinets, and vanities, as long as they’re structurally sound.

Refinishing focuses on the existing doors and boxes instead of paying for all‑new cabinetry, so it typically comes in at a fraction of full replacement cost while still delivering a noticeable kitchen change.

Thorough cleaning and degreasing are standard steps. We remove grease, cooking residue, and everyday buildup before sanding and priming so new coatings can bond how they’re supposed to.

We remove doors, hinges, and hardware instead of painting around them. Components are labeled and organized so everything goes back correctly after refinishing.

We use Sherwin‑Williams enamel and cabinet‑grade systems selected to achieve durability, smooth finish, and performance on your specific cabinet material and existing finish.

Proper prep, priming, and cabinet‑grade products are what give refinished cabinets a smooth, upgraded feel instead of a wall‑paint texture on doors and drawers.

Timing depends on the number of doors and drawers and the amount of prep required. During the estimate, we’ll give you a realistic schedule for your specific kitchen or bath and explain what access you’ll have while we work.
