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.
Older Erindale kitchens often have small knobs, exposed hinges or no handles at all on slab doors. Updating hardware alongside the paint makes the whole kitchen feel current.
New pulls rarely line up with the old holes. We plug each unused hole with wood or a two-part filler, sand it flush, and prime over it. Once the doors are painted, the old holes cannot be seen.
Slab doors from the 1960s sometimes have no holes at all, because they were built for finger grooves or a single knob. Adding pulls means drilling new holes in a finished door, which we price before we start. Planning the hardware before cabinet painting begins means the holes are filled and drilled at the right stages, not as an afterthought.
A drilling jig keeps each new pull level with its neighbours along a run. Drilling happens after the cabinet painting is fully dry, so the finish around each hole stays clean and does not chip.
Old exposed hinges or worn concealed hinges can make doors sag, gap or slam. With the doors already off, we can fit new soft-close hinges and adjust every door so the gaps are even. Some older face-frame kitchens need a hinge plate or new boring, which is noted on the quote.
Brass, matte black, brushed nickel and bronze are the most popular finishes. Brass suits navy, green and cream. Black suits white and greige. Pull length matters too, and longer bars look better on wide drawers. We bring samples so you can hold them against a painted door. Picking pulls early lets the cabinet painting schedule allow for them, which matters most when they are longer or wider than the old ones. Colour pairings are shown under two-tone kitchens and island painting.
Screwing a pull onto soft paint can crack the finish around the screw. We wait until the cabinet painting has cured enough to handle, then fit the hardware carefully by hand. If the new pulls are not in yet, we can come back to install them once they arrive.
We also check every door after the hardware goes on and adjust the hinges so the gaps are even and the doors close softly. We make that last adjustment on every cabinet painting job.
Hardware and hinges are listed on their own lines, so you can see the cost of each. Call +1 (289) 207-0026, ask about hardware options, or go back to our main Erindale page.
Vanities, pantries, laundry rooms and basement built-ins in Erindale split-levels are primed and sprayed like the kitchen.
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.

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 ConsultationWe walk through the house, count each piece, note the wood or board and itemize the job. The visit and the quote are both free.
Give 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.
