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.

Condo Kitchen Cabinet Painting In Guelph, Ontario
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.
The high-rises at both ends of Gordon Street, the mid-rise condos south of Clair Road, the newer buildings in Grange Hill East and the converted lofts downtown all have kitchens of this kind. Every condo job is insured, and the proof of insurance the property manager asks for is sent before the first day.

Galley Kitchen Cabinet Painting Means Ten To Fifteen Doors And No Room To Spare
A condo kitchen is a small job in a tight space. On the first morning, a dozen or fifteen doors and drawer fronts come down, get labelled and degreased, and leave the building in one trip. The boxes are sanded, primed and sprayed behind containment the same day or the next, and the kitchen is back in use as open shelving by the evening. Nothing is stored in the unit overnight except the plastic on the walls.
That is what makes condo cabinet painting practical for an owner who lives in the unit. The doors are away for about a week and come back cured and ready to hang. The spray painting page explains why doors get sprayed at the booth rather than inside the unit.
Building Rules Shape The Cabinet Painting Schedule, Not The Work
Condo buildings restrict working hours, typically weekday daytime, and most want the freight elevator reserved and padded. Some ask for proof of insurance before a contractor comes in, and some limit where a van can park. We ask for the building's rules before the quote is written and plan the day around them. Doors travel in padded racks on a dolly, and the elevator is booked for the first and last mornings only.
Odour is the other concern in a shared building. The products sprayed on site are low-VOC waterborne primers and enamels, the kitchen is sealed and vented through a filter, and the hallway never smells like paint.
Most Condo Doors Are Melamine, So The Primer Has To Suit It
Condo builders in Guelph used melamine and thermofoil through the 1990s and 2000s and factory-painted MDF after that. Melamine accepts cabinet painting once a bonding primer is down and the chipped edges are filled. Thermofoil is painted only where it is still stuck down, and a peeling door is replaced. Painted MDF needs only a scuff and a standard primer. The page on melamine and thermofoil covers each case, and the visit names which one the kitchen is.
Small Kitchens Sit At The Bottom Of The Cabinet Painting Price Scale
A ten to fifteen piece condo galley is the smallest full kitchen there is, and in Ontario it sits near the bottom of the cabinet painting scale at roughly $1,500 to $3,000. A bonding primer adds a little, and a deep colour adds a coat. Market figures only; what applies is the written quote. Landlords with several units in one building can have the cabinet painting quoted together.

What We Do
More Cabinet Painting Services
The same degreasing, primer and sprayed enamel go into every other job we take on.
Cabinet Refinishing
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
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.
See Century Homes
Oak Cabinet Painting
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.
See Oak Cabinets
Cabinet Spray Painting
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
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.
See Refacing and New Doors
Thermofoil, Melamine and Laminate Cabinet Painting
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.
See Thermofoil and Melamine
Pantry, Laundry and Built-In Cabinet Painting
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.
See Pantries and Built-Ins
Two-Tone Kitchens and Island Painting
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.
See Two-Tone and Islands
Bathroom Vanity Painting
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.

Cabinet Hardware and Soft-Close Hinges
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
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 ConsultationBook A Free Visit
A 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.
