Hilton Head Facts for Cabinets
- Kitchens with older cabinets
- The median home in the town limits was built in 1987, and about 6 in 10 (60.5%) went up before 1990 (as of 2024). Many island kitchens have cabinets that are at least 35 years old, which is when painting, refacing or replacing comes up.
- Three showrooms near Coligny
- Plantation Cabinetry, Kitchen Design Solutions and Charlestowne Fine Cabinetry are each within 1.2 mi of Coligny Plaza, so you can see door styles from three companies in one south-end trip.
- North-end studios
- Studio Spinola is on Main St, 1.6 mi from the island convenience center, and Coastline Cabinetry is on Spanish Wells Rd, 2.5 mi from Shelter Cove.
- Painting and refacing
- N-Hance Wood Refinishing is on Cardinal Rd, 0.5 mi from the island convenience center, and American Wood Reface, the refacing company here, is based in Hardeeville and says it covers the island’s plantations.
- Homes used part of the year
- About 25 in 100 housing units (7,600) are held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use (as of 2024). Ask each company whether it can measure, order and install while you are away.
- Permits
- The Town of Hilton Head Island says a building permit is required for changes to an existing building and for electrical or plumbing work, but not for painting or new carpet unless it is part of a larger renovation. Call the Town’s building staff at 843-341-4757 if you are not sure.

To get a kitchen cabinet quote on Hilton Head, measure the room and bring a photo of the layout.

Kitchen Design Solutions offers a free in-home consultation, and American Wood Reface offers a free in-home estimate.
Custom Cabinets on Hilton Head Island: Designed, Built or Ordered
Custom cabinets on Hilton Head come two ways. A design studio draws the room and orders cabinets from a manufacturer, which is how Charlestowne describes its process (it names relationships with leading cabinet manufacturers), and a shop builds to your measurements. Coastline Cabinetry lists custom closets, built-ins and custom furniture alongside kitchen cabinets, and Studio Spinola says its custom designs are laid out around your home and the way you live. The Bluffton makers who build in their own shops are on cabinets in Bluffton.
Ask who builds the cabinets, where, and who installs them. If the layout is changing, ask whether the company draws the plan or only supplies cabinets; for a whole-house plan, an architect comes first (architects on Hilton Head), and for design and build together, see kitchen remodeling on Hilton Head.
Cabinet Refacing on Hilton Head Island: Refacing, Refinishing or Replacing
For cabinet refacing on Hilton Head Island, American Wood Reface is the refacing specialist on this page: it faces the cabinets you have in quarter-inch solid wood, with new doors and drawer fronts, and says its warranty is a lifetime warranty for the original homeowner. N-Hance Wood Refinishing paints or refinishes cabinets and fits new doors on the existing boxes. Cabinet IQ says on its website that it does not do refacing or painting existing cabinets, so call it only if you want new cabinets.
Refacing and refinishing keep your layout. Choose them when the cabinet boxes are sound and the layout works. Choose new cabinets when the boxes are damaged, the layout is wrong, or you want a different size of cabinet. Ask any company to check your boxes before you decide. For the counters, lighting and backsplash that go with refacing, see kitchen remodeling on Hilton Head.
How a Cabinet Job Works on Hilton Head: Measure, Order, Install
A cabinet job starts with a measuring visit, then a design and a signed order, and the install follows weeks later for ordered cabinets. If the cabinets stay where they are, nothing else changes. Moving a sink, adding a range hood circuit or putting outlets in an island is electrical or plumbing work, which needs a permit from the Town of Hilton Head Island; call the building staff at 843-341-4757. See electricians and plumbers for who does it.
If your home is in a community such as Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes or Hilton Head Plantation, interior cabinets rarely involve its review board, but ask the association whether an installer needs to book a gate pass or an elevator. About 25 in 100 island homes are second homes, so ask each company whether it can measure, order and install while you are away. For the floor under the new cabinets, see flooring on Hilton Head.
Cabinets for Bluffton and Hardeeville Homes
Cabinet IQ’s showroom, Kitchen Design Solutions and Coastline Cabinetry serve Bluffton as well as the island; Coastline also lists Okatie. American Wood Reface is based in Hardeeville. For the Bluffton showrooms and shops, including Litchfield Custom Cabinetry, GM Custom Cabinetry and Palmetto Cabinet Studio, see cabinets in Bluffton.
