Deer Creek and Deerfield's western neighborhoods hold established homes whose cabinetry usually just needs refinishing or refacing.

Permits: Cabinet refinishing, refacing, and painting with no plumbing, electrical, or structural change are generally permit-exempt in Boca Raton. Moving walls, relocating plumbing or electrical, or running power to new cabinetry requires a permit. Rules vary by city — Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and West Palm Beach run their own building departments with their own fees.
Refinish, reface, or replace
Refinishing keeps your existing doors and boxes and gives them a new color and a fresh, hard finish. Refacing keeps the boxes but installs new doors, drawer fronts, and matching veneer. Replacing starts over. The right call depends on the condition of your boxes and whether you want to change the layout.
Why solid boxes are worth keeping
Many Boca homes from the 1980s–2000s have solid plywood or hardwood cabinet boxes that are still structurally sound under a dated finish. Tearing them out sends good carpentry to the landfill and adds weeks to the job. Refinishing those boxes is faster, cleaner, and far less expensive.
- No demolition, no new permits for a like-for-like refinish
- Color matching to a sample, plus modern matte, satin, or gloss sheens
- Hardware swaps and soft-close upgrades while we are in the doors
The finish that lasts in Florida
A kitchen finish has to survive heat, humidity, and daily cleaning. We prep to bare, prime for adhesion, and topcoat with a hardwearing finish — the same sequence whether the result is a deep matte or a high-gloss bar front.
