The finish changes.
Nothing else does.
Vector Surfaces resurfaces cabinetry, countertops, doors, walls, and elevator interiors with architectural vinyl film. Commercial buildings, private homes, and yacht interiors across South Florida, finished in days instead of months, with no demolition.
Replacing a surface costs far more than the surface
Tearing out doors, millwork, and wall panels means permits, lead times, dumpsters, trades stacked on top of each other, and a space nobody can occupy. In most of these projects the finish was the only thing anyone actually wanted to change.
Architectural film changes it in place. The substrate stays, the hardware stays, and the floor stays in service.
Surface schedule
Every interior surface we resurface, what a typical scope covers, and how long the surface is out of service.
| Surface | Notes |
|---|---|
| Commercial doors | Hollow metal, wood, and frames resurfaced in place. Doors stay hung and keying is untouched. Most doors take twenty minutes to an hour. |
| Elevator interiors | Cab walls, ceilings, and returns refinished overnight so cars run before the morning rush. |
| Elevator landings | Landing doors and jambs on every floor, matched to the cab so the building reads as one design. |
| Walls and columns | Corridors, lobbies, and accent walls in wood, stone, metal, and solid finishes. |
| Casework and millwork | Reception desks, nurse stations, built-ins, and cabinetry refinished without pulling a unit. Most casework and millwork is finished in a fraction of the time replacement would take. |
| Ceilings and soffits | Overhead surfaces refinished from a lift rather than through a ceiling demo. |
Commercial work
Before and after on South Florida commercial projects, every one installed while the building stayed open.

The same film and the same crews, applied to kitchens, vanities, countertops, and joinery. Cabinet boxes stay in the wall and the room goes back into use the same week.

| Kitchen cabinetry | Doors, drawer fronts, tall units, panel ends, and toe kicks refinished on the box. Hinges, slides, and carcasses are never removed. |
| Vanities | Drawer fronts, doors, frames, and floating carcasses in primary, guest, and powder baths. |
| Countertops | Solid surface and laminate tops refinished in stone, marble, and concrete patterns. |
| Interior doors | Passage, closet, and pocket doors, with frames refinished to match. |

| Yacht joinery | Galley cabinetry, countertops, and interior panels for marine interiors. |
What lands on your desk
Property managers and general contractors need paperwork before they need a finish. Here is what comes with the scope.
- Scope
- A counted surface listDoors, frames, landings, and linear feet of casework, counted on the walkthrough. That count is what you get priced on.
- Pricing
- Fixed, not unit-rateNo change orders on square footage that was already measured. Additions are priced as additions.
- Schedule
- Built around occupancyNights, weekends, floor by floor, wing by wing, with no dumpster parked out front for a month.
- Finish schedule
- Signed off before orderPhysical samples on site. Nothing is ordered until you approve the finish against the actual light in the space.
- Closeout
- Punch closed same visitWalkthrough at completion with a written workmanship warranty on file.
Walkthrough and count
We measure and count every surface in scope, then confirm substrate condition on each one.
Finish selection
Physical samples on site. You approve the finish schedule before any material is ordered.
Installation
Crews work your schedule. Surfaces are cleaned, prepped, and wrapped in place.
Closeout
Punch list closed on the same visit, warranty issued, documentation filed.
Finishes
Layered film with printed pattern, embossed texture, and a protective topcoat. Wood, stone, metal, textile, concrete, and solid color, in more than 500 finishes. Up close it reads as the material it imitates. Five from the range below, specified by code.
Samples ship free. Ask for the finishes that suit your space.
Questions
How long does architectural film last?
On interior surfaces, ten or more years is typical. The wear points are high-touch areas like door push zones and elevator returns, and those can be spot-replaced without redoing the room.
Can you work while we are open?
Yes, and that is most of what we do. Installation runs quiet and dry, with nothing heavier than a lift on site, so we can work nights, weekends, and floor by floor around your occupancy.
What does it cost?
It depends on surface count and finish. As a rule it runs well below tearout and replacement, and the larger saving is usually the downtime you avoid. Send photos or a floor plan and you get a real number.
What surfaces will not work?
Heavily textured, flaking, or actively delaminating substrates need repair first. Deep-grain block, rough stucco, and failing laminate are the usual disqualifiers. We flag those at the walkthrough rather than after the deposit.
