Kitchen Cabinet Makeover in Myrtle Beach, SC: Smooth $13K Soft-Close Upgrade

Project Description

A kitchen can feel dated long before it stops working. This kitchen cabinet makeover in Myrtle Beach, SC started in a Briarcliff Acres home where the cabinet boxes were sound but everything else showed its age. The doors were heavy raised-panel styles with brass knobs. One cabinet over the range hood sat open with damaged wood showing, and the bay under the double wall ovens was an unfinished opening instead of storage.

Carroll Custom Coatings kept the boxes and replaced the parts the family touches every day. New doors and drawer fronts replaced the dated profiles, soft-close hardware went in, and a custom drawer was built into the empty bay below the ovens. Everything was finished in Extra White SW 7006. The homeowner invested $13,000 to $14,000. Carroll Custom Coatings serves homeowners across the Grand Strand.

Project Scope: Kitchen Cabinet Makeover in Myrtle Beach, SC

Cabinet Boxes and Frames

The existing boxes and face frames stayed in place. Keeping the sound boxes in place keeps costs well below a full replacement and preserves the layout the homeowner already liked. Each frame was finished so the new parts wouldn’t stand out.

New Cabinet Doors

The raised-panel doors came off, and shaker-style doors went on across the uppers, lowers, and pantry. When you replace cabinet doors, you can’t reshape the old profile, so new millwork is the honest fix. Our cabinet painting services in Myrtle Beach cover both paths.

New Drawer Fronts

We swapped every drawer front to match the new door style. New cabinet doors and drawer fronts ordered together read as one design instead of a patchwork.

Soft-Close Hardware

Soft-close cabinet hardware was installed throughout, so doors and drawers close quietly instead of slamming.

New Pulls

Brass knobs and swing pulls gave way to brushed nickel bar pulls and cup pulls. Hardware is a small line item, but the homeowner feels it every day.

Custom Drawer Below the Wall Ovens

The open bay under the ovens had raw wood and no function. Carroll Custom Coatings built a custom drawer sized to that exact opening. Custom cabinet drawers reclaim space that a stock size would leave empty.

Paints & Products Used

One color carried the whole kitchen:

Sherwin-Williams Extra White SW 7006. A clean white with little undertone, which keeps a coastal kitchen bright in daylight and under recessed lighting. It was used on the boxes, frames, doors, and drawer fronts so that old and new parts read as one piece.

Holding one color across existing and new components makes a mixed-scope job look built rather than patched. That match separates a repair from a finished kitchen, and it is the standard Carroll Custom Coatings applies to every kitchen cabinet makeover.

Result of Kitchen Cabinet Makeover in Myrtle Beach, SC

The before photos show brass knobs, raised-panel doors, an open cabinet with damaged wood above the hood, and a raw opening under the ovens. The after photos show one continuous white kitchen with shaker-style doors, brushed nickel pulls, a closed cabinet above the range, and two working drawers under the ovens. The layout did not change. Everything the homeowner sees and touches did.

A makeover works best when it keeps what works and replaces what does not. If you are weighing new doors, new drawer fronts and a custom build for your own kitchen, start with an honest look at your boxes.
