Cabinet painting for pantries, laundry and mudroom cabinets, built-in wall units, bookcases, window seats and fireplace mantels covers the cabinets that are not in the kitchen, and most of these pieces get finished on site.
Built-ins in the older houses of Glenridge, the downtown and Port Dalhousie are often solid wood under many coats of paint, and the laundry cabinets in Martindale and Grapeview are usually builder melamine. Every job is insured, and these pieces are quoted alone or added to a kitchen.
A wall unit, a bookcase or a mantel is fixed to the house, so it gets sprayed where it stands. Plastic seals the room, the floor gets covered, every vent gets masked, and the piece receives the same primer and thin topcoats a kitchen box would. Any doors or drawer fronts that come off head to the booth. Cabinet painting a built-in on site takes one or two days, and the room comes back into use as soon as the finish is dry enough to unmask.
A built-in bookcase in a 1920s house near Yates Street may have six coats of paint on it, some of them alligatored or chipped, and the new finish is only as smooth as what is under it. Loose paint is scraped and sanded, edges are feathered, and a high-build primer levels the rest. Where the old paint is site-applied and the house predates 1980, we test before sanding hard. Cabinet refinishing is the alternative when a solid-wood built-in should go back to wood instead of being painted.
A pantry with four to six tall doors, or a laundry run of six to ten pieces, takes one or two days of cabinet painting and usually joins the kitchen job for a modest addition to the quote. Laundry cabinets see detergent and damp, so they get the same sealed edges as a bathroom vanity. Mudroom lockers and bench cubbies are done the same way, and bathroom vanity painting covers the moisture side.
A fireplace mantel painted in the same warm white or charcoal as the kitchen ties the main floor together, and it is a half-day job on site. Window seats and banquettes with drawer storage get the same treatment. These often get tacked onto kitchen cabinet painting because the plastic is already up and the sprayer is already in the house.
Photos of the piece and a rough measurement are all we need before the visit. Send the details or call +1 (905) 367-8017. The St. Catharines Cabinet Painting home page covers the kitchens these pieces usually get painted alongside.
Pantries, laundry runs and built-ins get the same sprayed cabinet painting finish as a kitchen, and most of them take a day or two on site.
Identical prep, primer and sprayed coats go onto all the other cabinets around the house.
Kitchen cabinet painting removes every door and drawer front, degreases and sands the lot, primes for the substrate and sprays thin coats of a hard enamel so an existing kitchen looks new without replacing a single box.

Oak cabinet painting locks the tannins in golden oak under a shellac primer, deals with the open grain by filling it or keeping it, and lays a hard sprayed enamel over 1980s and 1990s doors that are solid, well built and simply the wrong colour.

Post-war bungalow kitchen cabinet painting restores the original birch and plywood slab doors of 1950s to 1970s kitchens, or the 1980s oak that replaced them, in the small galley layouts those houses were built with.

Thermofoil, melamine and laminate doors carry slick factory surfaces where ordinary primer will not hold, so the job begins with bonding primer, plus an honest verdict on the doors worth painting and the ones past saving.

Cabinet spray painting means doors finished in a filtered spray booth, boxes finished behind sealed containment in the kitchen, and thin, even coats of enamel or 2K polyurethane that cure hard with no brush marks, which is cabinet painting done the factory way.

Bathroom vanity painting is the smallest job on the list, usually six to ten pieces finished inside one or two days, with a primer and topcoat chosen to stand up to the steam and splashes of a bathroom.

Cabinet refinishing keeps the wood. Stripping or sanding takes the old finish off, new stain goes on, and a clear coat seals it, so solid walnut, cherry or white oak doors look new without paint covering the grain.

A two-tone kitchen puts a painted perimeter beside a darker or wood-toned island, and where the perimeter is already fine, just the island gets sprayed in navy, green or charcoal as a job of its own.

Refacing fits fresh doors and drawer fronts onto boxes that are still sound, and door replacement swaps out a single damaged or delaminated door and sprays it to match, for a fraction of what a full kitchen replacement costs.

Condo kitchen cabinet painting deals with a small galley, the building's rules, the elevator and the parking, and because the doors are sprayed away from the building, the unit stays livable while its boxes get sprayed inside two days.

With the doors already down, the old handle holes are filled and hidden under paint, a template guides fresh drilling, and worn hinges are exchanged for soft-close units sized to the same cup.

A colour consultation pins down colour and sheen before any spraying starts, with a sample door finished in the real colour and checked in the kitchen's own light against the counters, the floor and the backsplash.
See Colour ConsultationWe arrive, count the doors and put the quote in writing. The visit costs nothing and there is no pressure to go ahead.
