We look at the cabinets before we put a price on them. Every cabinet painting price we give begins with a tally, made standing in your kitchen, of how many doors, drawer faces and cabinet boxes the room holds.
Streetsville has kitchens from almost every decade since the village was laid out. Some houses near Queen Street South hold cupboards with five or six coats of old paint on them. Vista Heights bungalows often keep their first birch or maple doors. The larger two-story homes in Riverview tend to have oak or thermofoil. Each one needs a different start to its cabinet painting, and our quote says which start your kitchen gets.
The doors leave the house and get sprayed in a clean booth. Cabinet boxes stay screwed to your walls, and they get sprayed on the spot inside a tent of taped plastic. Cooking and washing up carry on for nearly all of the cabinet painting schedule. Our about page lays out how a job is organized, and a free home visit shows you the plan for your own room.
Behind every card below sits a page on the prep, the coatings and what drives the cost.
We take every door and drawer front down, clean off the kitchen grease, prime for the real material underneath and spray a hard enamel finish. Kitchen cabinet painting recolours every cupboard in the room, and the counters, sink and floor never move.

Older village houses often hold cupboards and built-ins covered in decades of oil paint, and those layers need cleaning, testing and a bonding primer before anything new goes on. Heritage home cabinet painting gives that old woodwork a fresh, hard finish while keeping the trim, panels and shape that make the house what it is.

Oak pushes brown tannin stains up through ordinary primer, and its deep grain shows under colour unless it is filled first. Oak cabinet painting handles both with a tannin-blocking primer plus a decision about the grain before any coat goes on.

Refinishing removes a worn clear coat, refreshes or changes the stain, and seals the wood under a new sprayed clear finish. The grain stays visible, so when the timber is the best feature of the room, refinishing wins over cabinet painting.
See Refinishing
Fronts are finished in our clean-air booth, and the boxes on your walls are coated at home inside a sealed plastic enclosure. Spraying lays each coat of cabinet painting down thin and level, so the finish reads smooth with no brush or roller marks.
See Spray Painting
Shiny factory doors will hold colour after degreasing, a fine scuff and a coat of adhesion primer meant for vinyl and plastic faces. Cabinet painting works on thermofoil only while the vinyl skin is still tight, so we check every door before we quote.
See Thermofoil and Melamine
New doors and drawer fronts go onto the cabinet boxes you already have, and the boxes and frames are sprayed to match. On price and on how much changes, it falls somewhere between cabinet painting and a whole new kitchen.

Putting a deeper shade on the island or the base cabinets, with pale uppers above, adds depth to a room without any renovation. Two-tone cabinet painting needs two colours, two spray setups and a clear plan for where each colour goes.

A vanity takes steam, splashes and hand cream every day, so it needs a harder finish and a proper cure before normal use. Vanity cabinet painting is normally a one- or two-day job and a fraction of what a replacement vanity costs.

Condo and townhouse kitchens are usually small, but building rules about elevators, parking, quiet hours and odour shape how the job runs. Condo kitchen cabinet painting sends the doors out of the unit to be sprayed, so the smell and the overspray never reach the shared halls.

Pantries, laundry cabinets, mudroom lockers, bookcases and fireplace built-ins are primed and sprayed with the enamel we use on kitchen doors. Most of these are fastened to the wall, so we do the cabinet painting where they stand, with taped plastic sealing off the room.
See Pantries and Built-Ins
Unused knob holes get plugged before primer, a jig guides every new pull hole, and tired hinges are replaced with the doors already down. Adding hardware to a cabinet painting job costs less than doing it later and gives the whole kitchen a finished look.
See Hardware and Hinges
We spray one of your real cabinet doors in the shade on your shortlist and hang it back up for several days. Seeing a real sample under your own windows is the safest route to a cabinet painting colour you will still enjoy years later.
See Colour ConsultationCabinet painting keeps the spend in the low thousands. A typical Streetsville kitchen is priced somewhere from $2,500 through $5,500, while ripping it out for new cabinets starts near $15,000.
Your counters, sink, tile and plumbing stay where they are. The cabinet painting stays on the fronts, the face frames and the visible end panels.
The kitchen stays usable. Doors head to our shop and the boxes get sprayed in the house, so the fridge, sink and stove stay in use on most days.
Solid old boxes stay in the house. Many village and Vista Heights cabinets were built from real wood and plywood that beats a lot of new stock.
Sprayed cabinet painting looks factory smooth. Thin coats settle flat on the door and hold up at the handles.
The colour finally suits the house. White, cream, sage, navy and soft grey all fit older Streetsville homes and newer ones alike.
We take one door down, finish it in the shade you are leaning toward, and leave it up for several days. The quote lists every cost on its own line.
Cabinet painting over old oil paint fails unless the old film is cleaned, dulled and primed with a bonding product first. Waterborne paint slides off a hard oil surface that has only been wiped down.
Houses in the old village core often carry cupboards and built-ins with coat after coat of paint added over the decades. The bottom coats are usually oil. Houses built before 1960 may also have lead in those early layers, so we test before any sanding starts. Our heritage home cabinet painting page explains how we keep the period look while making the new finish stick.
Oak holds tannin that bleeds brown into ordinary water-based primer. For oak cabinet painting, the first coat is a primer that locks that brown in before any colour goes over it.
Plenty of Riverview and Vista Heights kitchens were redone in golden oak through the 1980s and 1990s. The grain on those doors is deep. We can fill it for a smooth look, or leave the pores open and let the texture read under the new colour. Both choices are laid out under oak cabinet painting.
Cabinet refinishing keeps the wood and replaces only the tired finish. Solid cherry, walnut and good white oak often look better stained and clear coated than painted.
The worn topcoat is sanded or stripped away, a stain shifts the tone if you want it shifted, and fresh clear lacquer goes over the top by spray gun. Some older village houses have wood cupboards that are worth saving this way. The cabinet refinishing page shows when refinishing is the better call.
Spraying is what makes cabinet painting look like a factory finish. A brush leaves ridges that show every time light rakes across a door.
We spray doors and drawer fronts in a filtered booth with steady heat and clean air. The boxes get the same coatings at home, sprayed behind sealed plastic. Your colour and how hard the kitchen works decide between a waterborne alkyd enamel and a two-part urethane. Read more on cabinet spray painting.
Heat and steam loosen the vinyl skin on thermofoil doors. Once the skin lifts, cabinet painting cannot glue it back down, so those doors need stripping or replacing.
Sound thermofoil, melamine and laminate can take cabinet painting over a primer that bites into slick factory faces. Many 1990s homes around Streetsville and newer townhouses near Britannia Road have these doors. Read thermofoil, melamine and laminate cabinet painting first if your doors are this type.
The bad doors get swapped out, then sprayed along with every other door so they blend in. Swelling from a sink leak, or one split panel, is trouble for that door alone.
When too many doors have failed, fitting fresh doors to the boxes you already own beats cabinet painting alone. Here in Mississauga, that route tends to cost between three and ten thousand dollars. We compare all three routes in cabinet refacing and door replacement.
Painting the island a darker shade than the walls of cabinets is the most asked-for layout right now. It takes a second colour, a second setup and a little more time.
Islands often go navy, deep green or charcoal, with white or cream on the cabinets around them. The island alone usually costs $800 to $2,000. We explain two-colour planning in two-tone kitchens and island painting.
Steam, water and hand cream all attack a vanity every day. Vanity painting takes a matched primer and sprayed enamel, then extra cure time before it gets wiped.
Most people add the vanity to a kitchen cabinet painting booking because setup is already done. Plenty of Streetsville bathrooms still have an oak vanity put in during the 1980s or 1990s. There is more detail under bathroom vanity painting.
In a condo or a managed townhouse complex, elevator bookings, parking and quiet hours shape the schedule. Those rules get built into the cabinet painting plan before any start date is picked.
Small kitchens in these units usually have ten to twenty doors. The doors leave the unit, so the smell stays out of shared hallways. Read more under condo kitchen cabinet painting.
Once the kitchen is painted, the pantry, laundry cabinets and living room built-ins stand out. We paint them with the same system, in place, behind plastic.
Older Streetsville houses often have built-in shelving, window seats and china cupboards that were painted long ago. Adding them to the same cabinet painting visit lowers the cost per piece. Those rooms are covered under pantry, laundry and built-in cabinet painting.
With the doors already down for cabinet painting, swapping hinges and plugging old handle holes is simple. Quiet-closing hinges and fresh pulls are fitted once the finish has hardened.
Old holes get filled before primer, so they disappear. A drilling jig sets each new hole so the pulls sit in a straight line. We go through finishes and sizes in cabinet hardware and soft-close hinges.
A small chip seen under bright store lighting is a poor guide to a whole kitchen. One door from your cabinets gets sprayed in the shade you favour, then hangs back in its spot for several days.
Older village houses often have smaller windows and deeper rooms, which make whites look grey. Newer homes with big patio doors wash colours out. Our cabinet colour consultation helps you choose before the full cabinet painting job starts.
For a whole Streetsville kitchen, budget $2,500 at the low end and $5,500 at the high end. Small kitchens start around $1,500. Big kitchens and two-colour jobs sit around $6,000 to $9,000, sometimes higher. Priced per door, Mississauga work falls near $130 to $250 each.
Heavy grease, old oil paint, grain filling and bonding primer all push the cabinet painting price up. Fresh doors hung on your boxes run three to ten thousand dollars, and a complete new kitchen starts around $15,000 with many going beyond $40,000. For your own house, the figure on the written quote is the one that counts. Every stage of the work is set out under kitchen cabinet painting.
We come to the house, tally the doors and drawer faces, look at the wood and the old finish, and send a written quote naming the primer, topcoat, sheen and price.
Day one is for degreasing, numbering each door, bagging and tagging the hinges, and photographing where everything goes. Nothing gets painted until the surfaces are clean.
Next, the doors travel to our booth for their cabinet painting. Dings and unused holes are filled, each surface is scuffed, and a primer chosen for that material goes on.
Then come two or three topcoats, each one lightly scuffed before the next. Back in the house, the boxes and face frames get the same products while sealed off behind poly sheeting.
The doors come back and get hung. With every door back up, we set the hinges so the gaps look even, put the handles on, and walk through the room together.
The surface feels dry the same day, but full hardness takes a few weeks. We give you simple care steps for the first two weeks.

A full kitchen here is normally $2,500 to $5,500. Small kitchens start from about $1,500, and a big kitchen or a two-colour layout sits nearer $6,000 to $9,000, sometimes past that. What you pay is the figure on the written quote we leave after the visit.
Yes, for most of the job. Doors get sprayed in our shop, and the boxes get their coats in the house inside plastic. The sink, fridge and stove stay in use, and dishes live on bare shelves for a few days.
Yes, with the right steps. We clean the surface, dull it with sanding, and apply a primer designed to hold onto hard old oil coats. In older homes we also test for lead before sanding.
The paint is dry in a few hours but takes about two to four weeks to fully harden. A two-part urethane hardens faster. We tell you how to treat the cabinets during that time.
Cabinet painting that is properly cleaned, primed and sprayed holds up well for years. When chips happen, the usual causes are grease trapped beneath the primer, ordinary wall paint on cabinet doors, or rough handling in week one.
