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.
Kitchen lighting is hard on a painted door. Pendant lights over an island and under-cabinet strips light up every ridge a brush leaves behind. Spraying gets rid of those marks, which is why sprayed cabinet painting passes for new cabinetry.
A sprayed film is thin, even and fully bonded across the whole door. A brushed coat is thicker in some spots and thinner in others, and the thin spots wear first.
Thick paint is also softer paint. It takes longer to harden and is more likely to chip at the edges. Spraying lets us build two or three thin coats that each cure well. So sprayed cabinet painting holds up longer around handles, along edges and on the cutlery drawer.
Doors go to our booth, where filters clean the air and the heat holds at one level. The boxes cannot move, so we spray them in place.
Every door dries lying level on a rack there, so nothing can run or sag. Dust stays out of the wet finish. At home, we mask the counters, floors, walls and appliances with plastic and tape, and we run air extraction while we spray. Nearby rooms get covered too. The masking takes most of a morning and is worth every minute. How both halves share one schedule is covered under kitchen cabinet painting.
We use cabinet-grade coatings made to get hard. Wall paint stays soft, which is why it scuffs and sticks when used on cabinet doors.
Our two main choices are a waterborne alkyd enamel and a two-part urethane. Waterborne alkyd levels out well, is low in odour and comes in almost any colour. Two-part urethane gets a hardener stirred in, which makes it cure quicker and tougher. It suits busy kitchens and dark colours. Your quote names which one your cabinet painting uses and why.
Humid summer days slow drying, and dry winter air speeds it up. We plan cabinet painting schedules around both.
Homes in the low ground by the Credit River tend to stay damper through the summer months. On very humid days we adjust how long we wait between coats. Once heating season starts, indoor air turns dry fast, and that speeds the cure. Either way, we will not rush a coat that is not ready.
Booth time, masking and added coats make sprayed cabinet painting pricier than brushing. Even so, a whole Streetsville kitchen generally stays in the $2,500 to $5,500 bracket.
A brushed job may save some money now but tends to need touch-ups sooner. The spray finish holds colour and sheen better over time. Your written quote spells out the coats, the product and the total.
We cover every surface near the cabinets before any spraying starts at home. Fine mist travels further than most people expect, so the masking is thorough.
Counters get a hard cover first, then plastic. Floors get paper or a floor guard, and appliances are wrapped. Walls and the ceiling near the cabinets are taped off, and doorways get a plastic wall with a zip door so you can still pass through. Vents are covered so the mist does not travel into other rooms. When the cabinet painting is done, the plastic comes down, and we check every edge for overspray. Anything we find gets cleaned before we leave. Taking this time on day one is what keeps the rest of your kitchen clean.
We visit, count the doors, check the material, and give you a written quote for sprayed cabinet painting, and we never bill for the trip. Call +1 (289) 207-0024, request a visit, or browse every Streetsville service.
Vanities, pantries, laundry rooms, built-ins and islands are primed and sprayed exactly as Streetsville kitchens are.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ConsultationWe visit, count every door, check the material and write the scope down for you. You pay nothing for either one.
Tell us about the cupboards, even roughly, and a visit gets arranged by phone. A name and a phone number are enough to send it. To speak with someone now, phone +1 (289) 207-0024.
