Nine Kinds Of Cabinet Painting Work
Each service listed carries its own page, covering the preparation involved and the way its price gets assembled.
-
Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Fronts and carcasses are degreased, sanded, primed to suit the material, then sprayed in hard enamel. Kitchen cabinet painting changes the room without moving a counter.
-
Waterfront And Cottage Cabinet Painting
Lake and river kitchens mean knotty pine, cold buildings and short seasons. Cottage cabinet painting seals the knots and sprays fronts in a heated shop.
-
Cabinet Spray Painting
Thin sprayed coats in a filtered booth leave a level finish with no brush ridges. Sprayed cabinet painting uses waterborne alkyd enamel or 2K polyurethane.
-
Oak Cabinet Painting
Shellac primer seals the tannin in golden oak, and the grain is filled flush or left open by choice. Oak cabinet painting is priced either way.
-
Thermofoil, Melamine and Laminate Cabinet Painting
Bonding primer makes sound laminate, melamine and thermofoil paintable. Cabinet painting holds on a slick factory face once the right product goes down first.
-
Cabinet Refinishing
Refinishing keeps the timber visible. The old coating comes off, stain corrects the tone and a sprayed clear seals the grain, where cabinet painting would cover it.
-
Two-Tone Kitchens and Island Painting
A painted perimeter with a navy, green or timber island gives a plain kitchen a centre of gravity. Two-tone cabinet painting needs no new cabinets.
-
Bathroom Vanity Painting
Steam reaches the smallest cabinet in the house every morning. Bathroom vanity cabinet painting uses a coating chosen for wet rooms, finished in one or two days.
-
Condo Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Condo galleys are worked around elevator bookings and building rules. Doors are sprayed off site, so most of the cabinet painting happens elsewhere and the unit stays livable.
What Are The Benefits Of Cabinet Painting Instead Of New Cabinetry
The saving is what people notice first. Kitchen cabinet painting across a whole kitchen here generally comes to somewhere in the $2,200 to $4,500 band, where new cabinetry opens at $15,000 and rises steeply.
Sound carcasses are not disturbed. A box that is square, dry and firmly fixed has nothing wrong with it, so cabinet painting touches only the doors, the fronts and the face frames, and the counter and the tile behind it stay exactly where they are.
Time out of the kitchen is short. The doors go away to be sprayed while the carcasses get coated in the room, so cabinet painting seldom closes a kitchen down beyond a day or two.
Colour stops being whatever the builder ordered in 1992. Cabinet painting opens the whole deck up, from cream and greige through sage and navy to charcoal.
Sprayed cabinet painting sits level. Thin passes of enamel flow out across a raised panel in a way no brush manages, and a level film chips less around the pulls.
Good wood stays in the house. Solid oak fronts from thirty years back beat most of what a builder fits today, so cabinet painting keeps them out of a landfill.
Golden Oak Raised Panel Doors Are The Bulk Of Local Cabinet Painting
Oak brings in more cabinet painting than every other material put together, and it asks for two steps nothing else asks for. Tannin will bleed brown or pink up through a waterborne primer, so pigmented shellac is the first thing on the door. After that the open pores get filled level across a few passes, or else left to read through the colour because the owner prefers them visible.
Kawartha Heights, the south end below Lansdowne and the 1990s streets off Clonsilla Avenue are full of that stock. Cherry and honey maple of the same vintage react to primer in much the same manner. Grain fill, and whether it earns its cost, is dealt with on the oak cabinet painting page.
Brushed Cabinet Painting Leaves Ridges That Kitchen Lighting Finds
What separates cabinet painting from ordinary interior work is the gun. Primer and enamel arrive atomised, in passes thin enough to look through, with a light scuff between them, and what dries reads level rather than ribbed.
Out go the fronts to a filtered booth, dust and temperature both held steady, while carcasses take their coats in situ behind containment. Waterborne alkyd enamel and two-component polyurethane both atomise nicely, and the pick follows from colour, sheen and how soon the room is wanted back. How each one wears is compared on the cabinet spray painting page.
How A Cabinet Painting Job Runs
Visit and written quote
Cabinet painting opens with a person in the room counting fronts and carcasses, identifying the material and checking its condition. A written quote follows with the primer, enamel, coat count and price all on it.
Prep and protect on site
The first day goes to degreasing, taking doors off, numbering them and bagging the hinges. Floors, counters and doorways are masked, and the layout is photographed before anything moves.
Doors go to the booth
Fronts travel to the filtered booth. Dents and old holes are filled, each face is sanded to an even scuff, and the primer the material demands goes on: shellac across oak, bonding primer across laminate.
Topcoats and boxes on site
Two or three topcoats go on, sanded lightly between each. Carcasses and face frames get the same coats indoors behind plastic, with the rooms next door masked and the extraction running.
Rehang and walk-through
Fronts are rehung, hinges adjusted until the gaps run straight, and handles go on. We walk the kitchen together. The film dries in hours and hardens over days, so go gently for a week or two.
Why Our Cabinet Painting Starts With A Count
A price built from a count
Every quote starts from a tally of doors, drawer fronts and carcasses. Labour is most of the cost and the tally is most of the labour, so the number can be checked line by line.
Doors off, numbered and bagged
Every door comes off at the start, numbered to its opening, with hinges in labelled bags and the layout photographed. Carcasses are coated in place behind sealed plastic once floors and counters are masked.
A free visit and a written quote
Forty minutes in the kitchen settles what a phone call cannot. We look at the worst door, work out the material and leave a figure. Neither the visit nor the quote carries a fee.
Straight answers on what fits
We say when cabinet painting is the wrong route. Curling vinyl, swollen particleboard and failed joints are beyond a coating, and we tell you at the visit. The company is fully insured.
Cottage Kitchens Move More Than City Kitchens Do
A kitchen that sits unheated from November to April and then closed up through a humid Kawartha August puts its doors through a swing no house in town sees. Solid rail and stile doors expand and shrink further, so the honest approach is a flexible sprayed system, doors cured in the shop rather than in a damp building, and a plain warning about hairline movement at the joints.
Lakefield, Bridgenorth and Ennismore sit in the middle of eastern Ontario cottage country, and the kitchens out there run from 1960s knotty pine to 1990s oak, often site-built, often never sprayed. Waterfront and cottage cabinet painting covers access, scheduling and what happens to knots under primer.
Some Kitchens Deserve Stripping Rather Than Cabinet Painting
Sound veneer in white oak, walnut or cherry nearly always finishes better as wood than under cabinet painting. Off comes the tired coating by stripper or by sander, stain goes on wherever a tone has to move, and sprayed clear coat then seals whatever remains.
North End bungalows of the 1960s, and the East City infill behind them, hold plywood slab and birch fronts cut from timber better than anything at that money now. Which of timber and colour wins is set out by our cabinet refinishing page.
Thermofoil Skins Lift Beside The Dishwasher Before Anywhere Else
A vinyl skin lifts wherever the heat and the steam are, so the first curled corner turns up by the dishwasher or over the range without fail. Where peeling has begun, cabinet painting rescues nothing, since no coating glues vinyl back onto board. Such a front gets taken down to bare MDF, or else replaced outright.
Fronts still tight across the whole face prime up on a waterborne bonding product and finish nicely. Melamine acts the same and appears constantly in the rental stock near Trent and in the 2005 to 2015 builds down in the Otonabee end. Read what slick factory surfaces need before making the call.
Two Colours In One Room Is Now The Usual Cabinet Painting Request
What most people ask about is a painted perimeter with the island in navy, green or wood. It costs more for three reasons: another colour, another setup, another cure. Taken alone, an island is still a proper cabinet painting booking, and often done inside a day and a half.
Colour behaves differently on either bank of the river, and any cabinet painting job allows for it. Greige drifts toward grey in a north-facing Avenues kitchen with tall windows, while an afternoon in a west-facing Westmount kitchen warms any white. See how two colours get paired for that side of it.
Condo Cabinet Painting Answers To The Building As Well As The Owner
Inside a downtown building, the reserved elevator, the held parking bay and a low smell weigh quite as heavily as cabinet painting does. Fronts depart for the booth immediately, leaving the unit livable on open shelving until they come home.
Around George Street and along the Little Lake waterfront the buildings hold narrow galleys in melamine or factory shaker, where the job is a colour change or a repair rather than anything to do with age. Condo kitchen cabinet painting covers the building rules side.
The Smallest Cabinet Painting Booking In Any House Is A Vanity
Cabinet painting a vanity takes a day, occasionally two, from first front away to last handle on. It stands in steam every morning, so primer and topcoat get chosen with that in mind, and nobody wipes it down until the cure allows.
Most people bolt the vanity onto a kitchen job, since the setup is in the house already. Bathrooms in the Old West End and Ashburnham frequently hold an oak vanity ordered alongside a kitchen of the same year. Bathroom vanity painting carries the detail.

Cabinet Painting Questions
What does kitchen cabinet painting cost in Peterborough?
Whole kitchens here mostly land at $2,200 to $4,500. Small galleys open nearer $1,400; take the kitchen up in size, or into two shades, and it reaches $5,000 to $7,000. One front on its own goes for roughly $110 to $200 around here. All of that describes a market, while the written quote governs.
Can the family keep using the kitchen while the work runs?
Yes. Everything is arranged around keeping the room in use: carcasses get their cabinet painting behind sealed containment while the fronts are away. Sink, range and refrigerator remain reachable, and the shelves serve as open storage until the fronts return.
How long before painted cabinets can be treated normally?
Dry and cured mean two different things in cabinet painting. Waterborne alkyd enamel turns touch-dry in hours, asks for roughly a week before ordinary use, and only reaches full hardness nearer thirty days. Two-component polyurethane is hard inside twenty-four hours.
Does the oak grain still show once the doors are painted?
That gets chosen before the quote is written. Filling takes several passes of grain filler with sanding between each, after which a front reads as level as new cabinetry. Left open, the pores show through, which suits an Avenues century house rather well.
Why does chipping start beside the pulls and inside the cutlery drawer?
No two places in a kitchen take more wear, so they test a cabinet painting job harder than anywhere else. Given proper degreasing, the correct primer, thin sprayed passes and a full cure, the film holds there for years. Chips nearly always trace to grease sealed beneath a primer, to wall paint used on joinery, or to rough handling in the opening week.
