Nine Kinds Of Cabinet Work
Each service below owns a page, covering the prep involved and what builds its price.
-
Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Kitchen cabinet painting recolours the whole room while counters and backsplash stay put. Doors are degreased, primed, sprayed and rehung, and the quote names every step.
-
Sidesplit, Backsplit And Bungalow Cabinet Painting
Split-level and bungalow kitchens hold fewer doors, which puts cabinet painting at the lower end of the price band. Face frames, soffits and non-standard doors set the labour.
-
Cabinet Spray Painting
Cabinet spray painting puts thin, flat coats on every door in a filtered booth, then sprays frames and boxes on site behind containment, so the finish reads as factory work.
-
Oak Cabinet Painting
Oak cabinet painting starts with shellac to block tannin bleed, then grain filler if a smooth finish is wanted, so golden oak raised panel doors take colour evenly.
-
Thermofoil, Melamine and Laminate Cabinet Painting
Thermofoil, melamine and laminate will not hold ordinary paint. With a waterborne bonding primer, intact material takes cabinet painting well, and failing material gets flagged early.
-
Cabinet Refinishing
Cabinet refinishing keeps the wood grain on show. The old topcoat comes off, fresh stain shifts the tone if needed, and sprayed clear coat seals it, unlike cabinet painting.
-
Two-Tone Kitchens and Island Painting
Two-tone cabinet painting pairs a light perimeter with a navy, green or charcoal island, or leaves the island as stained wood. An island can also be painted on its own.
-
Bathroom Vanity Painting
Bathroom vanity cabinet painting is the smallest and quickest job, usually one to two days from removal to reinstall, with primer and topcoat chosen for a steamy room.
-
Cabinet Refacing and Door Replacement
Refacing hangs new doors and drawer faces on sound boxes, sitting between cabinet painting and full replacement. A single ruined door can also be built to match.
How A Cabinet Painting Job Runs
Visit, Count And Quote
Someone comes to the kitchen and tallies doors, drawer faces and boxes. They read the material and its condition, then write a quote naming the primer, enamel, coat count and price on one page.
Prep And Protect
Doors and drawer faces come off, get numbered and are photographed against the layout. Hinges go in bags by set. Every surface is degreased, including the faces nobody sees, because grease is what makes paint fail first.
Doors Go To The Booth
Dents and old hardware holes are filled, then each door is sanded to an even scuff. The primer that suits the material goes on, either shellac blocker over oak or a bonding primer over melamine and laminate.
Boxes Sprayed On Site
Two or three thin topcoats are sprayed, each lightly sanded first. Frames and boxes take the same coats in the kitchen behind sealed poly, with counters, floors and nearby rooms masked the whole time.
Rehang And Walk Through
Doors return to their numbered openings and hinges are adjusted until the gaps run straight. Handles go on and we walk the room together. The finish dries in hours but hardens over weeks, so go easy at first.
What Are The Benefits Of Cabinet Painting Instead Of New Cabinetry
Money stays in the bank with cabinet painting. New cabinetry costs several times as much. A whole kitchen here lands near $2,500 to $4,500, where replacement cabinetry opens around $15,000 and climbs past $40,000, and the gap between those two pays for a lot of other work.
The boxes never move during cabinet painting. Square, dry carcasses of plywood or particleboard are not the problem, so counters, backsplash and plumbing all stay put.
The room keeps working while cabinet painting is under way. Doors travel out to the booth while the frames are sprayed in place, and the shelves behind them hold dishes for most of the job.
Cabinet painting ends the colour the builder picked in 1988. Warm white, greige, navy, charcoal, sage and forest green all come off a paint deck, in satin, in pearl or in semi-gloss.
Sprayed cabinet painting lies flat. Thin passes of enamel flow out across a raised panel in a way no brush reproduces, and a level film takes wear better at the pulls.
Good wood stays in the house when cabinet painting replaces a tear-out. Solid oak and birch doors made in this town between 1965 and 1995 beat almost anything a builder installs today, and cabinet painting keeps them out of a bin.
Golden Oak Raised Panel Is The Largest Cabinet Painting Job In This Town By Volume
Oak cabinet painting needs two steps maple does not, and both cost money. Tannin in the wood rises through waterborne primer as brown or pink shadowing, so a shellac-based blocker seals the doors first, and those open pores either get packed level under a couple of passes of grain filler or deliberately left to read through the colour.
The late 1980s and early 1990s brick houses in Armitage, the 1980s streets of Glenway Estates and the same generation of building in Summerhill Heights are full of it. Cherry and honey maple from the years either side act much the same beneath primer. The page on painting oak sets out grain fill and when paying for it makes sense.
Split-Level Kitchens Get Written Off As Too Small To Bother Painting
They are not. Cabinet painting suits a small kitchen as well as a large one. A sidesplit or backsplit kitchen from the 1960s and 1970s carries 18 to 26 doors and drawer fronts, which lands it at the bottom of the regional price band rather than outside it, and that is the single most useful number to hear before deciding.
Huron Heights and the older half of Bristol-London are built almost entirely of splits and bungalows on mature lots, with birch or plywood slab doors that in many houses have never been touched. Low door count does not mean low labour, and the sidesplit, backsplit and bungalow cabinet painting page sets out exactly where the hours go.

Brush Marks Show Under Every Kitchen Light Ever Installed
Spray is the difference between cabinet painting and painting a hallway. Primer and enamel arrive as fine mist in thin passes, each scuffed back before the next arrives, and the finished film reads as a surface rather than as strokes.
Every door and drawer face gets sprayed off site, inside a filtered booth with dust and heat both held steady, while the boxes are done on site behind containment. Both waterborne alkyd enamel and two-component polyurethane atomise cleanly, and the choice between them follows colour, sheen and how soon the room is needed back. There is a whole page on sprayed finishes.
Vinyl-Wrapped Doors Fail Beside The Dishwasher First
Steam and heat lift thermofoil long before cabinet painting reaches it, so the damage always begins next to the dishwasher and over the stove. Once the skin has let go, cabinet painting will not stick it back down, and the door has to come back to bare board or be replaced outright.
Doors with the skin still tight everywhere accept a waterborne bonding primer and finish well under cabinet painting. Melamine is the same conversation, and it turns up constantly in rental units and in the condo stock along the Davis Drive rapidway. The page on vinyl-wrapped and melamine doors is worth reading before making the call.
Some Kitchens Are Better Kept As Wood Than Painted
Sound veneer in walnut, cherry or white oak generally looks better refinished than covered by cabinet painting. Sanding or stripper removes what is on there now, fresh stain shifts the tone where a shift is wanted, and sprayed clear coat locks that in.
The 1990s and 2000s executive houses in Stonehaven, with streets named after thoroughbreds, hold a lot of cherry and stained maple worth that treatment. Our cabinet refinishing page sets out when wood wins the argument and when cabinet painting does.
Two Colours In One Room Is Now The Most Common Request
Two-tone cabinet painting, painted uppers with the island in navy, green or wood, is what nearly everybody asks about, and the extra cost comes from a second colour needing its own setup and its own cure. An island by itself counts as a genuine cabinet painting job as well, often wrapped up inside a day and a half.
Colour is harder to settle here than a chip suggests, and it decides how the cabinet painting reads in the room. North-facing kitchens in the older brick houses off Prospect Street pull grey out of a greige, while a west-facing Woodland Hill kitchen warms the same white by four in the afternoon. A single door lifted from the kitchen itself gets sprayed in the shade being weighed and left standing in the room. There are pages on islands in a second colour and on choosing the colour itself.
Vanities Are The Smallest Rooms Cabinet Painting Goes Into
One to two days covers the cabinet painting on a vanity from removal to reinstall. That cabinet stands in steam every single morning, so the primer and topcoat are picked for moisture, and nobody wipes it down until the finish has hardened.
A vanity normally rides along on a kitchen booking, since the masking and the booth run have already been paid for. A 1990s Armitage bathroom usually holds an oak vanity from the same order as the kitchen. Bathroom vanity painting has the detail.
Why Count Every Door Before Pricing
Counted before it is priced
Every quote rests on a measured tally of doors and drawer faces, with the material named beside it. A round number over the phone cannot be checked against anything, but a counted scope on paper can.
Limits are named out loud
Swollen boxes under a leaking sink, or a vinyl skin that has already lifted, will not hold paint. That gets said in the kitchen, before any money changes hands, and not written onto an invoice.
Sprayed thin, not brushed thick
Thin passes of enamel flow out flat across a raised panel in a way no brush matches. A level film takes wear better at the pulls, and a light scuff between coats helps it last.
The kitchen keeps working
Doors leave for the booth while frames are sprayed in place, so sink, range and fridge stay usable. Open shelves hold everyday dishes until the doors come home.

Cabinet Painting Questions
What does kitchen cabinet painting cost in Newmarket?
Small kitchens of ten to fifteen doors start near $1,800 to $2,800. The common sixteen to twenty-two door kitchen runs $2,500 to $4,500, and twenty-six doors or more with an island reaches $4,500 to $8,000 or higher. Priced by the piece, the regional cabinet painting market sits around $130 to $250. Treat all of that as background, because the quote written for your own kitchen is what binds.
Can the family keep living in the house during the work?
Yes. The schedule is built so the room keeps working: carcasses are coated behind sealed containment during the days the doors sit in the booth. Sink, range and refrigerator remain usable throughout, and open shelving holds everyday dishes until the doors come home.
How soon can the doors be used the way they were before?
Dry and cured are two different things. The waterborne alkyd enamels go dry to touch in a handful of hours, wants roughly a week before ordinary use, and only reaches final hardness around day thirty. Two-component polyurethane goes hard in under twenty-four hours, one reason busy kitchens are specified with it.
Why does a hairline show up along the panel edge each February?
That is the wood moving, not the cabinet painting failing. This town sits north of the lake's moderating effect and runs about two degrees colder in January than the shoreline cities, so a five-month furnace season pulls indoor humidity right down and solid stiles and rails contract slightly around their panels. The line closes again in the humid part of summer.
Do painted cabinets chip beside the handles?
Nowhere in a kitchen wears like the cutlery drawer and the strip of door flanking each pull, and that is where a finish gets judged. Degreased, correctly primed, sprayed thin and left to cure, cabinet painting holds there for years. Where chips do appear, the cause is usually grease trapped below primer, wall paint applied to doors, or hard use inside the first week.

Cabinet painting takes us across Armitage, Bristol-London, Glenway Estates, Huron Heights, Stonehaven, Summerhill Heights and Woodland Hill, from the older brick streets near Fairy Lake and Riverwalk Commons out to the newer building off Mulock Drive and Bayview Avenue. North across Green Lane we work throughout Holland Landing and the rest of East Gwillimbury. Weekday daytimes are hard for a household that commutes from the GO station or down Highway 404, so evening and Saturday cabinet painting visits are normal here rather than a favour. Send the address and we will confirm a time that fits.
