Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Doors and fronts are taken off for booth spraying, hard enamel laid over a primer chosen for the material, with the boxes handled on site. Kitchen cabinet painting then puts the lot back in a new colour.
See Kitchen CabinetsBathroom vanity painting needs one day, sometimes two, and gives the vanity the same degreasing, sanding, priming and sprayed enamel a kitchen gets, leaving a finish hard enough for steam, splashes and wet hands every morning.
Vanities in the 1990s houses of Kortright Hills and the 1960s bungalows of Waverley are often the last oak or melamine left in the house once the kitchen has been done. The work is insured, and the vanity quote is laid out exactly like one for kitchen cabinet painting.
A vanity sits a metre from a shower, gets splashed every morning, and dries out under a fan. That cycle lifts paint that was not bonded properly within a year, and it is why a vanity is never brushed with wall paint. Vanity cabinet painting starts with the primer the material calls for, shellac over oak and a bonding primer over melamine, followed by two or three sprayed coats of 2K polyurethane or waterborne enamel.
Doors and drawer fronts head to the booth while the vanity body gets sprayed in place with the bathroom sealed off. Curing matters more here than anywhere: the doors return hard, and for the first week after hanging they get a soft cloth only and no spray cleaners.
Six to ten pieces make up a vanity, so alone it needs one or two days in the bathroom plus a week for the doors. Most people have it done with the kitchen, because the crew, the booth and the containment are already booked and the cost of adding a vanity to a kitchen quote is much lower than doing it alone later. Two or three vanities in the same house go on one line of the cabinet painting quote.
By itself, a vanity is the smallest piece of cabinet painting we take, and a fair test of the finish ahead of a kitchen decision. The kitchen cabinet painting page covers the full-kitchen version.
Oak vanities from the 1980s and 1990s bleed tannins and show grain, so they get shellac primer and, if the aim is smooth, grain fill. Melamine vanities from the same era chip at the edges and need a bonding primer. Thermofoil vanities peel at the bottom edge where water collects, and a peeling door is replaced rather than painted. The plastic-skinned door page covers the last two in detail. The visit identifies the material and the quote names the prep.
Brass, black or nickel pulls and soft-close hinges make a vanity read as new, and the moment to swap them is while the doors are down. Old holes get filled and sanded before any primer, and the new ones get drilled through a jig once the cabinet painting has cured. The hinge swap is a few dollars per door on a vanity and is usually worth it.
A vanity can be quoted from a couple of photos and a count of the doors. Send them through or call +1 (226) 271-3466. The Guelph Cabinet Painting home page covers cabinet painting for the kitchen the vanity usually goes with.
The same degreasing, primer and sprayed enamel go into every other job we take on.

Cabinet refinishing keeps the wood visible instead of painting over it. The tired finish comes away by stripping or sanding, the wood gets stained or left natural, and a sprayed clear coat lets the grain read through.

Century home kitchen cabinet painting deals with site-built wood cabinets that carry decades of old paint, uneven doors, worn hinges and plaster dust, and paints them in a colour that suits the age of the house without erasing its character.

Oak cabinet painting starts with shellac primer so the tannins stay put. Filler packs the open grain until the face is flat, and sprayed enamel covers both, leaving a 1980s golden oak kitchen looking newly built.

Cabinet spray painting lays enamel down in thin, even passes from a spray gun rather than a brush, in a booth for the doors and inside a sealed kitchen for the boxes, which is how a finish looks factory-made.

Cabinet refacing and door replacement mounts fresh doors and fronts onto cabinet boxes that remain sound, or swaps out only the doors too damaged to save, then finishes everything in one colour so nothing looks replaced.

Thermofoil, melamine and laminate cabinet painting relies on a bonding primer that grips the slick surfaces a regular primer slides off, sprays hard enamel over it, and strips or replaces any thermofoil door that has already begun to peel.

Pantry, laundry and built-in cabinet painting takes in everything outside the kitchen: the walk-in pantry, the mudroom and laundry cupboards, and the wall units, bookcases and mantels that are fixed to the house and get sprayed right where they stand.

An island or a run of lowers can carry its own colour, navy, green, charcoal or a stained wood, under a lighter perimeter. The island alone is a job worth booking by itself.

Condo kitchen cabinet painting handles a galley kitchen, a building that sets rules on hours and elevators, and the melamine or thermofoil doors most condos carry, with the doors shipped out to the booth and the unit kept livable.

Cabinet hardware and soft-close hinges round off a painted kitchen: old handle holes get filled ahead of the primer, new ones get drilled through a jig afterward, and tired hinges become soft-close units while the doors are down.

Cabinet colour consultation locks in colour and sheen before any paint goes on, by spraying a real door from the kitchen in the real product and judging it under the kitchen's light, matched against the decks the showrooms use.
See Colour ConsultationA visit means someone looks at the kitchen, counts what is there, and writes the price down. It is free, and saying no afterward is fine.
