Professional Cabinet Painting for Cabinets Worth Keeping 

If your cabinet boxes, doors and drawer fronts are still in good condition and you like your existing kitchen layout, professional cabinet painting is generally the most affordable way to create a major visual change.

Instead of removing and replacing usable cabinetry, we professionally prepare and refinish the cabinet system you already own.

Cabinet refinishing can:

• Change dark or stained cabinets to a completely different colour
• Update an older painted cabinet finish
• Create a contrasting kitchen island
• Use two cabinet colours
• Reduce visible oak grain with optional grain filling
• Update cabinet handles as part of the refinishing project
• Modernize the appearance of the kitchen without changing the existing cabinet layout

You keep the cabinet system that is already working for you while changing the part you no longer like: its appearance.

What Our Cabinet Painting Service Includes 

Our cabinet refinishing service focuses on the visible exterior surfaces of your existing cabinetry.

Depending on the confirmed scope of your project, this generally includes:

• Cabinet doors
• Drawer fronts
• Fixed exterior cabinet boxes
• Exposed side panels
• Suitable crown, valances and trim
• Removal of existing cabinet handles
• Cleaning and surface preparation
• Priming
• Renner cabinet coating
• Professional spraying of removable pieces at our facility
• Painting fixed cabinet sections inside your home
• Reinstallation of cabinet doors and drawer fronts
• Reinstallation of existing or approved new hardware

Optional oak grain filling is available when you want to reduce the appearance of darker grain lines before painting.

Cabinet interiors are generally not painted.

If your kitchen has glass cabinet doors with visible interior sections, let us know when requesting your quote so those areas can be discussed separately.

Suitable bathroom vanities and laundry cabinetry can also be included. See our bathroom and laundry cabinet painting service for more information.

Our Rexdale Kitchen Cabinet Painting Process 

Professional cabinet refinishing requires a process designed specifically around cabinetry.

The fixed portions of the cabinet system stay inside your home, while the cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed so they can be prepared and professionally sprayed at our facility.

Online Photo Quote 

The process starts with clear photos of your kitchen and the number of cabinet doors and drawers.

Include photos showing the complete kitchen as well as closer pictures of damaged areas, previously painted surfaces or anything else we should review.

This allows us to understand the size, layout and condition of your kitchen before providing pricing.

Cabinet Door and Drawer Removal 

At the beginning of the project, cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed and labelled.

Existing cabinet handles are also removed.

The removable pieces are taken to our facility for preparation and professional spraying.

Approximately Two Days of Work Inside Your Home 

The cabinet boxes and other fixed exterior sections remain inside your home.

The surrounding kitchen is protected before those surfaces are cleaned, prepared, primed and painted.

For a typical kitchen, our team is normally working inside your home for approximately two days.

Most of the remaining cabinet refinishing work is completed at our facility rather than inside your home.

Professional Spraying at Our Facility 

Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are prepared and professionally sprayed at our facility using Renner cabinet coatings.

Completing the removable pieces at our facility gives us a dedicated environment for their preparation and spray-finishing process.

After the on-site work is complete, your kitchen will temporarily be without its cabinet doors and drawer fronts while those pieces are being finished.

You can still use your kitchen during this part of the project.

Cabinet Reinstallation 

Once the cabinet doors and drawer fronts are complete, they are returned to your home and reinstalled.

The hardware is also reinstalled as part of the agreed project scope.

A typical kitchen project takes approximately 10 business days from start to completion, with most of that time spent completing the removable cabinet pieces at our facility.

Reinstallation normally takes approximately two to four hours depending on the size of the kitchen.

You can also watch our cabinet painting process video for a closer look at how our process works.

Professional Renner Cabinet Coatings 

Paint My Cabinets uses professional Renner cabinet coatings from Italy, a coating system designed specifically for cabinetry and wood finishing.

Renner coatings are made for surfaces such as kitchen cabinets that require a smooth, durable finish and are regularly handled and cleaned.

The coating can be matched to Benjamin Moore colours, giving you a large selection of colours without being limited to a small cabinet-specific colour collection.

Three finish options are available:

• Matte
• Satin
• Semi-gloss

Each finish creates a different level of sheen, so you can choose the appearance that works best for your kitchen.

For colour ideas and help narrowing down your options, see our kitchen cabinet colour guide.

Refinishing Different Types of Kitchen Cabinets 

Many common kitchen cabinet materials can be professionally refinished when they are in suitable condition and receive the correct preparation.

Oak Cabinets 

Oak cabinets can be painted.

Oak has pronounced natural grain, and the darker grain lines remain visible underneath the painted finish unless additional grain filling is performed.

We recommend optional grain filling when you want to hide much of the darker oak grain and create a smoother overall appearance.

Grain filling significantly reduces the visible grain lines but does not completely eliminate every trace of the natural oak texture.

You can see examples in our painted oak kitchen cabinet before and after gallery.

MDF Cabinets 

MDF cabinet doors can provide an excellent surface for professional refinishing when the material remains in good condition.

Significant water damage or swelling requires a different assessment because paint cannot reverse deterioration in the MDF itself.

Paint My Cabinets also provides professional MDF cabinet door painting for new unfinished MDF cabinet doors.

Previously Painted Cabinets 

Previously painted cabinets can often be refinished when the existing coating remains properly bonded.

If the previous paint is peeling, chipping or experiencing adhesion failure, applying another coating over it will not correct the underlying problem.

Some previously painted cabinets require chemical stripping before they can be properly refinished.

Paint My Cabinets does not provide chemical stripping.

Thermofoil Cabinets 

Thermofoil cabinets can also be painted.

If the thermofoil is in good condition and remains firmly attached, the existing surface can be properly prepared and painted.

If the thermofoil is damaged or peeling, it can be removed first and Paint My Cabinets can paint the MDF underneath.

Paint My Cabinets does not provide thermofoil removal, so damaged thermofoil would need to be removed before our cabinet painting work begins.

Most Other Cabinet Types 

Many other cabinet materials and finishes can also be professionally painted when the existing surface is in good condition and suitable for refinishing.

This can include maple cabinets, birch cabinets, cherry cabinets, veneered cabinets and some manufactured cabinet materials.

The preparation required can vary depending on the cabinet material, the existing finish and the current condition of the surface.

If you are unsure what type of cabinets you have, send clear photos through our online cabinet painting quote form. We can review the cabinetry and let you know whether it appears suitable for professional refinishing.

Cabinet Painting Compared With Refacing and Replacement 

When your existing cabinetry is still in good condition, painting is generally the most affordable of the three major cabinet update options.

Painting allows you to keep the cabinet boxes, doors and drawer fronts you already own rather than paying to replace components that are still usable.

Cabinet Painting 

Painting is normally the first option to consider when:

• Cabinet boxes are structurally sound
• Cabinet doors remain in good condition
• Drawer fronts remain in good condition
• You like the existing kitchen layout
• You are satisfied with the existing cabinet door style
• The main issue is an outdated colour or finish

When the cabinetry itself is still good, replacing usable components can add considerable cost without being necessary.

Cabinet Refacing 

Refacing becomes more useful when the cabinet boxes remain in good condition but the doors and drawer fronts have significant damage.

It can also make sense when you want a completely different cabinet door style.

With refacing, the existing cabinet boxes remain while new doors and drawer fronts are installed.

If your existing doors and drawer fronts remain in good condition and you mainly want a colour change, painting is generally the more affordable option.

Cabinet Replacement 

Complete cabinet replacement makes more sense when the cabinet system itself is no longer worth keeping.

That can include:

• Significantly damaged cabinet boxes
• Extensive damage to cabinet doors and drawers
• Structural deterioration
• Poorly functioning cabinetry
• A kitchen layout that needs to change
• A project requiring substantial new cabinetry

If the boxes, doors and drawer fronts remain in good condition, replacing the entire cabinet system may be unnecessary when the real issue is simply its appearance.

For a deeper comparison, see our cabinet painting vs refacing guide.

Rexdale Kitchen Cabinet Painting FAQs 

What does kitchen cabinet painting cost in Rexdale? 

Kitchen cabinet painting projects with Paint My Cabinets start at $2,500.

The final price depends on the size and requirements of your kitchen, including the number of cabinet doors and drawers, layout, cabinet condition, number of colours, additional cabinetry, optional grain filling, hardware changes and any special preparation required.

Because those factors vary from project to project, we provide pricing based on photos and the details of your actual kitchen.

You can send us your kitchen photos for a detailed cabinet painting quote.

How does painting my kitchen cabinets add value to my Rexdale home? 

Cabinet painting can create a major visual update without the considerably higher cost of replacing cabinetry that is still in good condition.

Cabinets occupy a large amount of visual space in the kitchen, so changing an older wood finish or dated cabinet colour can make the room appear much more current.

It can also improve the presentation of the kitchen when preparing a home for sale.

Cabinet painting does not guarantee a specific increase in resale value. Its advantage is the ability to make a substantial visual improvement while keeping usable existing cabinetry.

What’s the best finish for my Rexdale home’s kitchen cabinets? 

Paint My Cabinets offers matte, satin and semi-gloss finishes.

Matte has the lowest sheen, satin provides a moderate amount of sheen and semi-gloss provides the most noticeable shine.

There is no single finish that is best for every kitchen.

The right choice depends on the appearance you prefer and the overall look you want for the cabinetry. We can discuss all three options before your project.

How do I choose a colour for my kitchen cabinets? 

Start by deciding whether you want your cabinets to feel lighter, darker, more neutral or more dramatic.

Compare potential colours inside your actual kitchen and pay close attention to warm and cool undertones.

You should also look at colour samples at different times of day because natural and artificial lighting can change how the same colour appears.

Paint My Cabinets can match Renner cabinet coatings to Benjamin Moore colours.

Our kitchen cabinet colour guide can help you explore different options.

How do I find the best kitchen cabinet painting company in Rexdale? 

Rexdale homeowners can choose from cabinet refinishing companies, general painting contractors and renovation companies, so compare more than the quoted price.

Ask each company:

• How are the cabinets prepared?
• Are the doors and drawer fronts removed?
• Where are the removable pieces sprayed?
• What cabinet coating is used?
• How are the fixed cabinet sections completed?
• How does the company handle different cabinet materials?
• How are previously painted cabinets assessed?
• Do they have a substantial portfolio of completed cabinet projects?
• Are they active on social media with recent projects?
• Do they have strong independent Google reviews?
• Are they insured?
• Do they provide a written warranty?
• Does the quote clearly explain what is included?

A cabinet painting specialist should be able to explain its process clearly and provide substantial evidence of completed cabinet work.

You can compare those points against our cabinet painting portfolio, five-year cabinet painting warranty and cabinet painting FAQs.

How long does kitchen cabinet painting take? 

A typical Paint My Cabinets kitchen project takes approximately 10 business days from start to completion.

Our team is normally inside your home for approximately two days, completing the fixed cabinet sections.

The cabinet doors and drawer fronts are finished at our facility during the remainder of the project before being returned and reinstalled.

Can I use my kitchen while the cabinet doors are being painted? 

Yes.

There will be approximately two days when our team is working on the fixed cabinet sections inside your home and access to parts of the kitchen will be limited.

After that work is complete, the cabinet doors and drawer fronts remain at our facility while they are being finished.

Your kitchen is temporarily without its doors and drawer fronts during this period, but you can still use the kitchen.

Can oak kitchen cabinets be painted? 

Yes. Oak kitchen cabinets can be painted.

Oak has pronounced darker grain lines that remain visible underneath the painted finish unless additional grain filling is performed.

We recommend optional grain filling when you want to hide much of the darker grain and create a smoother appearance.

Grain filling significantly reduces the visible grain lines but does not completely eliminate every trace of the natural oak texture.

You can see examples in our painted oak kitchen cabinet before and after gallery.

Can MDF kitchen cabinets be painted? 

Yes.

MDF cabinet doors can be professionally painted when the material is in good condition.

Significant water damage or swelling is different because paint cannot reverse deterioration in the MDF itself.

Paint My Cabinets also provides professional painting for new MDF cabinet doors for new unfinished MDF doors.

Can thermofoil kitchen cabinets be painted? 

Yes.

If the thermofoil is in good condition and remains firmly attached, it can be properly prepared and painted.

If the thermofoil is damaged or peeling, it can be removed first and Paint My Cabinets can paint the MDF underneath.

We do not provide thermofoil removal, so removal would need to be completed before our work begins.

Can previously painted kitchen cabinets be repainted? 

Yes, provided the existing coating remains properly bonded and the cabinetry is otherwise suitable.

If the previous paint is peeling, chipping or suffering from adhesion failure, the underlying coating problem must be corrected first.

Some previously painted cabinets require chemical stripping before they can be properly refinished. Paint My Cabinets does not provide chemical stripping.

Do you paint the inside of kitchen cabinets? 

Cabinet interiors are generally not painted.

Our service focuses on the visible exterior portions of the cabinetry.

If your kitchen has glass cabinet doors and the interior is visible, let us know when requesting your quote so those areas can be discussed separately.

Can I change my cabinet handles during the project? 

Yes.

Existing handles are removed during the cabinet painting process.

If new handles use the same hole spacing, they can generally be installed without modifying the doors.

If old holes need to be filled or new holes need to be drilled, additional charges may apply depending on the work required.

You can review our cabinet handle options after painting for more information.
