Replacing kitchen cabinets is one of the most expensive remodels a homeowner can take on — and most of the time, it isn't necessary. If your boxes are solid, a proper cabinet paint or refinish gives you a brand-new kitchen at a fraction of the cost. Poor Boys Custom has been refinishing cabinets across Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Myrtle Beach, and the surrounding Lowcountry for over 25 years. We sand to bare or scuff-sand, clean with a degreaser, prime with a bonding primer built for cabinets, and spray two coats of a durable cabinet-grade enamel. The result is a smooth, hard-wearing finish that looks like it came out of a factory — not a quick brush-and-roll job that chips in six months.

Why Hire a 25-Year Pro?
Cabinets are the hardest paint job in your house. They get touched, washed, splashed, and slammed every day — so the prep and product have to be right. We use bonding primers and cabinet-grade enamels designed for that kind of abuse, and we spray for a finish you simply can't get with a brush. That's the difference between a refinish that still looks new in five years and one that's peeling at the edges by next Thanksgiving.
