General FAQs

  • We serve all of the Tampa Bay including Pinellas County & Hillsborough County: from Riverview to Hudson and St. Pete to Brandon. Contact us for a custom quote for your home.

  • Bayshore Remodels offers full-service home remodeling, specializing in kitchen and bathroom renovations, cabinet refinishing and refacing, and interior/exterior painting. Our team serves residential homeowners doing middle to large scale remodel projects. We do not do commercial work or handyman style jobs.

  • Most small projects, like cabinet refinishing or minor updates, typically take 5–7 days to complete. However, full kitchen and bathroom remodels—and larger multi-room renovations—generally require a minimum of 3 weeks or more.

    Keep in mind that construction timelines can vary based on project scope and unforeseen factors. Exterior work, in particular, may experience weather-related delays, but we remain committed to adhering to the schedule as closely as possible.

Refinish & Reface FAQs

  • Refinishing involves updating your existing cabinet doors, drawers, and boxes with a fresh, professionally sprayed finish. Refacing goes a step further—replacing the doors and drawer fronts entirely while applying a matching veneer to the cabinet boxes for a brand-new look without full replacement.

  • If you're happy with your current cabinet layout and your doors are in good shape, refinishing may be the perfect, cost-effective solution. If your cabinet doors are outdated, damaged, or you want a different style, refacing offers a more dramatic transformation without the investment of a full remodel.

  • We use a commercial-grade, water-based coating that offers exceptional durability, smooth finish, and low VOCs. For refacing, we offer a wide selection of custom door styles, colors, and woodgrain finishes to match any aesthetic.

  • Most refinishing projects are completed in 5-7 days, depending on the size of your kitchen. Refacing projects typically take 6-7 days. We prioritize efficiency while maintaining our high standard of craftsmanship

  • Not at all. We take great care to protect your space by sealing off the work area, using air scrubbers for air quality, and maintaining a clean job site. The process is minimally invasive, and most clients remain comfortably in their homes.

  • Yes. For refinishing, we remove all doors and drawer fronts and spray them at our shop for a smooth, dust-free finish. Cabinet boxes and fixed panels are painted on-site after prepping and masking surrounding areas.

  • Absolutely. Our coating system is specifically designed for cabinetry, offering superior adhesion, resistance to chipping, and long-term durability—far beyond anything available in retail paint products.

  • Bathroom remodels generally take 3 to 4 weeks from start to finish, allowing time for demolition, plumbing, electrical, tiling, fixtures, and finishing touches.

    Kitchen remodels usually require 4 to 6 weeks to complete, depending on the scope of work, including cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and appliance installation.
