Pantry, Laundry And Built-In Cabinet Painting In Guelph, Ontario

Built-Ins Cannot Leave, So Cabinet Painting Comes To Them

A wall unit that runs floor to ceiling, a mantel that is nailed to the chimney breast, or a window seat that is part of the wall cannot go to the spray booth. They get sprayed where they are. Poly seals the room, the floor and furniture get covered, the vents get masked, and the air runs through a filter while spraying happens. Whatever doors and shelves do come off travel to the booth with everything else.

The result is the same finish a kitchen gets, with no brush marks on the long flat sides where they would show most. On-site cabinet painting for a big built-in usually runs two days plus curing, and by the following morning the room is usable again. The cabinet spray painting page describes the containment.

Laundry And Mudroom Cabinet Painting Takes More Abuse Than The Kitchen

Laundry and mudroom cabinets get wet boots, detergent, damp coats and hockey bags, and a mudroom is often the coldest room in the house in January. The finish has to be hard, so these rooms get the same degreasing, sanding, primer and sprayed enamel a kitchen gets, and 2K polyurethane makes sense where the wear is heavy. Melamine laundry cabinets from the 1990s get a bonding primer first.

Cabinet painting in these rooms usually rides along with the kitchen at a better price, since the crew and booth are booked already. On its own it takes a day or two.

Pantries Are Painted Inside And Out When The Shelves Are On Show

A walk-in pantry with open shelving is painted inside, because the shelves are the pantry. A closed pantry cabinet is painted on the outside and the doors, with the interior left alone unless it is asked for, because interior cabinet painting adds time and cost that most people would rather not pay. The quote says which it is, and interiors are always a separate line.

Pull-out shelves and drawer boxes are removed, labelled and sprayed with the doors when they are part of the job.

Bookcases And Mantels In Century Homes Carry Old Paint

The built-in bookcases and mantels in the limestone houses of St. George's Park and Exhibition Park have the same old paint layers as their kitchens, and the same lead question. Paint from before 1980 is tested before sanding, and the prep follows the result. The century home kitchen cabinet painting page explains that process, and it applies to any built-in of the same age.
