Cabinet Painting and Roof Soft Wash in Oak Creek, Wesley Chapel, FL 33545
Oak Creek is a community of roughly 550 homes off SR 54 east of I-75, laid out around old oaks, a creek and wetlands. The shade keeps it cool but grows algae on roofs, and the builder kitchens inside are ready for a change.

Homes in Oak Creek were built in phases from the mid 2000s into the late 2010s, so a street of 2006 houses can sit next to one finished a decade later. Most are block and stucco, 1,700 to 3,000 sq ft, with shingle roofs and builder kitchens: stained maple or oak cabinets, flat wall paint and plain trim.
Two jobs come up more than anything else here. Outside, the oak canopy that gives the place its name drops leaves and holds moisture, and shingle roofs grow black streaks within a few years. Inside, owners who have lived with orange-toned cabinets for ten or fifteen years want them white, gray or deep green. We soft wash roofs at low pressure so the granules stay put, and we spray cabinet doors for a smooth, hard finish.
Living under the oaks off SR 54
The community was planned around its mature oaks, a creek and several wetland areas, with a five acre recreation area holding the pool, playground and pet park. Many back yards face ponds or wooded buffers, which means more damp and more mildew on rear walls than on the street side.
Oak leaves and catkins pack the gutters every spring, and the overflow runs behind the fascia. We often find soft fascia boards and stained soffit vents on the back of homes here. Fixing those before a roof wash or repaint keeps the rot from spreading under new paint.

Questions from Oak Creek homeowners
Is soft washing safe for the shingles on my Oak Creek roof?
Yes, when it is done at low pressure. We apply a cleaning solution that kills the algae, let it dwell, then rinse gently, so the granules stay on. The roofing industry favors this method over high pressure washing.
Do you paint the cabinet boxes or only the doors?
Both. We take off the doors and drawer fronts to spray them, and we brush and roll the boxes in place with the kitchen masked off. Painting only the doors leaves the frames a different color, which shows right away.
Why does the back of my Oak Creek house get dirty faster than the front?
Most rear yards here face ponds, wetlands or tree lines that keep the walls damp and shaded, so mildew and algae grow quickly. A wash every year or two keeps it from staining the paint.
What does cabinet painting cost in an Oak Creek kitchen?
A kitchen with 26 to 34 doors and drawers usually runs about $3,780 to $5,940, including degreasing, primer and two finish coats. Islands, glass doors and new hardware holes add to it. We give a final price after a free on-site look at the kitchen.
