Why homeowners choose it
Kitchen Cabinet Painting: what you get
If your cabinets are solid but the colour is stuck in another decade, painting is the fastest, most affordable upgrade there is. We remove every door and drawer front, finish them in our mobile spray booth, and treat the boxes in a sealed zone in your kitchen. The result is a smooth, hard, wipeable factory finish — not a brushed-on paint job.
- Any colour, any sheen — including two-tone islands and uppers
- Catalysed cabinet lacquer: chip-, grease- and yellowing-resistant
- No demolition, no dumpster, no permit
- Works on oak, maple, MDF, thermofoil and previously painted doors
- Add new hardware, soft-close hinges and organizers in the same visit

Questions answered
Kitchen Cabinet Painting FAQ
How much does cabinet painting cost in Canada?
A typical 10×10 kitchen with 20–30 doors costs $4,500–$9,500 depending on door style, grain filling and hardware. Your designer provides a fixed, itemised quote at the free consultation.
Will painted cabinets chip?
A properly prepared, sprayed catalysed finish is as hard as a factory finish and is backed by our workmanship warranty. Brushed latex paint — which we never use — is what chips.
Can you paint oak cabinets without the grain showing?
Yes. We offer optional grain filling that produces a smooth, modern surface on oak and other open-grain woods.
How long until I can use my kitchen?
Doors come back finished and cured; boxes are usable the same evening they are sprayed. Most kitchens are fully back in service on day 3–5.
