Erindale Cabinet Painting repaints, refinishes and refreshes existing cabinets rather than replacing them. All our work in Erindale is fully insured. The work covers kitchens and islands, bathroom vanities, pantries, laundry cupboards and fitted units, found in Erindale bungalows, split-levels, custom ravine homes, townhouses and condos.
Cabinet painting has more in common with finishing furniture than with painting a wall. Doors get grabbed countless times each year, so they must be degreased, primed for what they are made of, sprayed in light layers and left to cure properly. Our quotes and our process are built around that.
A single total does not tell you what you are paying for. Each quote we write shows door, drawer and box counts, plus the material, primer, enamel, sheen and coat count. Anything not included is written down too.
Interiors, crown trim, glazed fronts, plugging and drilling handle holes, and supplied hardware are all itemized separately. When the plan shifts mid-job, we write up the change and get your okay first. You can read about each service on the services page.
We split every cabinet painting job in two. Fronts are labelled, hinges go into marked bags, and everything travels to a booth with filtered air and a steady temperature. Those conditions are what produce a flawless surface.
Frames and boxes remain fixed, so we close the room off with sheeting, protect floors and counters, and coat them on site while fans vent outdoors. Dividing the work like this keeps your kitchen usable for meals. See cabinet spray painting for more.
Most cabinet painting failures come from rushed prep. Leftover grease, a skipped sanding step or a mismatched primer will show as peeling within months. We clean, sand and prime every surface before a single topcoat goes on.
Prep eats up most of the hours on any cabinet painting job, and the quote shows it plainly. It is also why we do not quote over the phone.
Not every cabinet is a candidate for paint. Lifting thermofoil, water-swollen particleboard and boxes coming apart are beyond what a coating can repair. We will tell you that on the first visit.
Fine cherry, walnut or white oak frequently shines once refinished, as cabinet refinishing describes. Dated golden oak nearly always improves under colour, and oak cabinet painting says why. We recommend what suits your cabinets.
Erindale began as a village on the Credit River in the 1820s, went by the name Springfield for many years, and took the name Erindale in 1900. Today it is a mix of the old village core around Dundas Street and Mississauga Road, 1960s streets in Credit Woodlands, 1970s and 1980s family homes, custom houses on ravine lots, and apartment and townhouse communities.
Each group has its own kitchens. The 1960s homes have plywood boxes and slab doors that need heavy degreasing. The 1970s and 1980s homes have stained and golden oak that need a stain-blocking primer. The ravine homes have big windows, bigger kitchens and sometimes fine wood that should stay wood. Condos and townhouses have melamine that needs a bonding primer. We plan cabinet painting around the kitchen in front of us.
A painted door that rubs, gaps or swings open is not a finished job. At the end of every cabinet painting job, we hang each door, adjust each hinge until the gaps line up, fit the hardware and test every drawer. After that, we go over the room together and correct anything you spot.
We also leave simple care notes. They cover how long to wait before scrubbing, what cleaners to use, and what to expect as the finish keeps hardening over the next few weeks.
We price every job in person, because a phone call cannot count doors or check materials. We charge nothing to visit or to quote, and you are under no obligation. Call +1 (289) 207-0026, share a few kitchen details, or head back to the Erindale cabinet painting home page.
The services below are the full scope of the business.
Each front comes off, gets scrubbed, sanded and primed to suit what it is made of, then receives a tough sprayed enamel and goes back on. Kitchen cabinet painting gives the room a fresh colour, and your counters, sink and flooring are never disturbed.

Houses that back onto the Credit River valley tend to have big windows, shifting light and larger kitchens with more doors than a standard subdivision home. Ravine home cabinet painting plans the colour, the coating and the schedule around those three things.

Tannin in oak seeps through ordinary primer, which is why oak cabinet painting always begins under a shellac stain blocker. From there, the grain can be filled for a flat look or kept open for visible texture.

Cabinet refinishing leaves the wood on show: the worn clear coat comes off, stain shifts the tone, and a new sprayed topcoat protects it. Pick it over paint when the timber deserves to be seen.

Sprayed cabinet painting puts primer and enamel down in fine, uniform layers that cure smooth, free of brush lines or roller stipple. That is how a repainted kitchen gets a finish that looks factory-made.

Slick factory doors need a bonding primer before paint will stick, and thermofoil has to be tight to the board before it can be painted at all. Thermofoil, melamine and laminate cabinet painting starts by checking every door for lifting or swelling.

Hanging fresh fronts on the boxes already in place sits between cabinet painting and a full new kitchen. Single ruined doors can be swapped too, then sprayed so they blend with their neighbours.

Pale outer cabinets around a deep-toned island, or rich lowers beneath soft uppers, add depth to a kitchen without any renovation. Two-tone cabinet painting and island-only jobs are among the most requested work we do.

Vanities go through the full clean, prime and spray routine a kitchen gets, using products picked to cope with steam and splashes. Vanity cabinet painting is usually done in a day or two and costs far less than a new vanity.

Every door and drawer front leaves the unit to be sprayed in our booth, so the condo stays livable and the building's air stays clean. Condo kitchen cabinet work is planned around elevator bookings and building rules as much as around the kitchen.

Pantry walls, laundry cupboards, mudroom lockers, bookcases and family room units go through the kitchen's full clean, prime and spray routine. Since most are anchored to walls, built-in cabinet work happens right where they stand.

Fitting fresh pulls and quiet-closing hinges is simplest when the doors are down for painting anyway. Cabinet hardware changes finish a cabinet painting job and fix doors that sag, rub or slam.

One door from your kitchen is sprayed in your chosen shade and stays on site for a few days of viewing. Cabinet colour consultation settles the choice in your real light before any cabinet painting begins.
See Colour ConsultationGive us a few lines on the kitchen and the house, then watch for our call to set a time. A name and number are enough. Prefer the phone? Call +1 (289) 207-0026.
