Hilton Head is a world-class resort island with strict HOA standards and property owners who expect premium-quality finishes. Here is what matters for cabinet painting in this area.
Many Hilton Head homes -- particularly in plantation communities built in the 1990s and 2000s -- have dark-stained or pickled oak cabinets that feel dated. These are perfect candidates for painting. We use hybrid alkyd enamel that cures extra-hard, which is important in the island's humid environment where cabinet doors can stick if the wrong product is used. For vacation rental kitchens, we recommend the most durable topcoat available because rental kitchens see heavy use. White cabinets remain the most popular choice on Hilton Head, followed by soft gray and navy islands.
Hilton Head's salt air is brutal on exterior finishes. What lasts 7-10 years inland can fail in 3-5 here. We exclusively use marine-grade, 100% acrylic latex with mildew-resistant additives for all island projects.
