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 CabinetsCabinet 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.
Kitchens in Guelph that still wear the builder's brass knobs from 1992 or the oval-worn hinges of a 1960s bungalow in Onward Willow get the biggest change from this step. The work is insured and priced per door in the cabinet painting quote.
When new pulls need different spacing, a hard two-part filler goes into the old holes, gets sanded flush and primed along with the door, so nothing shows under the sprayed enamel. Filling after paint leaves a bump or a colour shift, and that is the surest sign of a rushed job. The visit records the old hole spacing and the new hardware's spacing so the fill is in the quote from the start.
Drilling waits until the cabinet painting has cured, and a jig sets every pull at the same height and distance from the edge across the whole kitchen. A single crooked pull on a white door is visible from the doorway, and the jig is what prevents it.
Most cabinet doors made since the 1980s hang on concealed cup hinges, and those swap for soft-close versions of the same size without new holes. The door closes itself quietly and never slams, which also protects the fresh finish at the edge where a slammed door chips first. Older doors on surface-mounted or knife hinges can usually be converted with a cup hinge bored into the back, and the quote says so if it applies.
Drawers on old side-mounted slides can be moved to soft-close undermount slides in some kitchens, and we check the drawer box on the visit to see if it will take them.
Brushed brass has led hardware finishes for several years and pairs with warm whites, sage and navy. Matte black belongs with greys, charcoal and modern slab fronts. Brushed nickel is the safe pick beside cooler whites. Cup pulls on drawers and bar pulls on doors is the most common mix. The cabinet colour consultation page covers pairing hardware with the paint colour, and sample pulls are held against the sample door before anything is ordered.
Hardware comes from the homeowner or from us, and in either case it goes on once the cabinet painting is cured and the doors are hung and adjusted.
A kitchen that was painted a few years ago and only needs new pulls and quiet hinges can have just that done. That takes a day, and where the old holes miss the new hardware, the fill spots are touched up with the same enamel in the same colour. The kitchen cabinet painting page covers the full job when the finish needs doing too.
Show us the pulls you have in mind at the visit, or send a link, and the drilling and hinge swap get their own lines in the quote. Book the visit or call +1 (226) 271-3466. The Guelph Cabinet Painting home page lists every cabinet painting job this hardware finishes.
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.

Bathroom 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.

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 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.
