Cabinet Painting & Refinishing on St. Simons Island
Cabinet painting on St. Simons Island for kitchen, bath and built-in cabinets that still work well but no longer fit the house. D&D cleans, sands, primes and finishes every door, drawer front and frame, with free written estimates.
Cabinet Painting for St. Simons Island Homes
If your cabinets are solid and the layout works, painting them changes the look of a kitchen, bath or built-in without the cost and disruption of replacing them. The result depends on preparation: every door, drawer front, frame and edge has to be cleaned, sanded and primed before a finish coat will hold up to daily use.
We paint existing cabinets in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, pantries and built-ins across the island, and we can schedule the work with interior painting on St. Simons Island when the rest of the room is being repainted.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting Without Replacing Your Cabinets
Cabinets are handled every day, so they get more preparation than walls. We plan the cleaning, priming, finish coats and reinstallation around the cabinetry itself, and you know what is included before work begins.

Not every set of cabinets needs the same preparation. The existing finish, any earlier paint, the cabinet material and the look you want all affect the process, so our estimator reviews the cabinets before the scope is written. We paint existing cabinets; we don’t reface them, replace doors or rebuild cabinet boxes.
Why Homeowners Repaint Instead of Replacing
Painting is usually the right choice when the cabinets still work but the color or finish no longer fits the rest of the house.
Dated Cabinet Colors
A color change can update a kitchen or bath without changing the layout or the countertops.
Previously Painted Cabinets
Cabinets painted before, by a homeowner or an earlier contractor, are checked for peeling and wear, and the preparation is set before new coats go on.
Cabinets That Still Work Well
If the boxes, doors and layout still work, painting keeps what’s good and changes how it looks. Built-ins and freestanding pieces can be included.
Part of a Bigger Interior Update
Cabinet painting can be scheduled with walls, ceilings, trim and doors so the whole room is finished at once.
Serving Homes Across St. Simons Island
D&D Decorators paints kitchen, bath and built-in cabinets for homeowners across St. Simons Island, from Sea Palms and Island Club to Hampton Point and Hawkins Island. Our crews come from our Brunswick office at 1001 Cedar Street.
This page covers cabinet work on the island. For Brunswick and the rest of Glynn County, see our main cabinet painting and refinishing page, and for everything else we paint on the island, see our painting services on St. Simons Island.
Why St. Simons Homeowners Choose D&D for Cabinets
D&D Decorators is a locally owned painting company that has served St. Simons Island from Brunswick since 1986. With 50+ employees, we have the crews to take on a single vanity or a full kitchen, and we are fully licensed and insured.
Cabinets are usually one part of a bigger update. Because we also paint walls, ceilings, trim and doors and handle drywall repair, the whole room can be planned under one estimate and finished on one schedule, with one point of contact from estimate to final review.
Many island homes are second homes or rentals, and we can schedule work around rental bookings and keep owners updated while they are away. See our second home maintenance services.
Our Cabinet Painting Process
A cabinet finish is only as good as the preparation under it. Every project follows the same steps, from the first look at your cabinets to the final review.
1. Walkthrough
An estimator looks at the cabinets with you, checks the condition of the existing finish and confirms which doors, drawer fronts, frames and built-ins are included.
2. Written Scope & Color
You get a written estimate listing the cabinets, the preparation and the finish. Color and sheen are chosen with our color consultation once the project is booked.
3. Room Protection
Counters, appliances, floors and the walls around the cabinets are covered and protected before work starts.
4. Cleaning & Sanding
Hardware is removed, then every surface is cleaned and degreased and sanded or deglossed so primer bonds to the existing finish.
5. Prime & Finish
Surfaces are primed and finish coated, and minor fixes such as loose hinges and door alignment are handled along the way.
6. Reinstall & Final Review
Hardware and doors are reinstalled and adjusted, and we walk the finished cabinets with you before the project is closed out.
The standard is cabinets that read as one finished set, with doors, drawer fronts and frames matching from every angle.
Services Often Added to a Cabinet Project
Cabinets are often part of a wider kitchen or bath update. These are the services most often included in the same scope.
- Interior Painting. Walls, ceilings and trim painted with the cabinets so colors are chosen together and the room is finished at once. Link: interior painting on St. Simons Island
- Trim & Door Painting. Baseboards, casing, crown molding and interior doors refinished to match the new cabinet color. Link: door painting
- Drywall Repair. Holes, cracks and damage behind or beside the cabinets repaired and textured before painting. Link: drywall repair

If the cabinets are part of a larger interior update, D&D can coordinate the walls, ceilings, trim, doors and drywall repairs within the same project.
What to Expect From Your Cabinet Project
Thorough Preparation
Cabinets are high-touch surfaces, so cleaning, sanding and priming are treated as the core of the job, not an afterthought.
One Matching Set
Doors, drawer fronts, frames and visible edges are finished to look like one consistent set.
A Protected Kitchen
Counters, appliances, floors and walls are covered before work begins and cleaned up before we leave.
One Company for the Whole Room
Walls, trim, doors and drywall can be included, so the cabinets aren’t scheduled separately from the rest of the room.
Cabinet Painting Questions From St. Simons Homeowners
Do you paint kitchen cabinets on St. Simons Island?
Yes. D&D Decorators paints existing kitchen, bath and built-in cabinets across St. Simons Island and Sea Island from our office in Brunswick. Estimates are free and written.
Are the cabinet doors painted in my home or taken to a shop?
Doors and drawer fronts are removed and finished off site, while the frames and boxes are painted in place in your home. The doors are reinstalled and adjusted once they are fully finished.
How long will my kitchen be out of use?
It depends on how many cabinets are included and what else is in the project. Your estimator will walk through the schedule, and which areas will be out of use, before work starts.
Can you paint cabinets that have already been painted?
Often, yes. We check how well the existing paint is holding and how worn it is, then define the preparation it needs before anything is recoated.
Do you reface or replace cabinet doors?
No. We paint and refinish your existing cabinets, including minor fixes such as adjusting doors, tightening loose hinges and reattaching trim. We don’t reface cabinets, replace doors, rebuild cabinet boxes or repair veneer.
Can you paint the cabinets and the rest of the kitchen at the same time?
Yes. Cabinet painting can be scheduled with walls, ceilings, trim, doors and drywall repair so the room is finished on one schedule. See our interior painting on St. Simons Island page.
