Professional Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing & Spray Painting in Barrie

If you like your kitchen layout and the existing cabinets are still structurally sound, there may be no reason to replace them.

Professional cabinet refinishing allows you to keep your existing cabinet boxes, doors and drawer fronts while completely changing their colour and appearance.

Kitchen cabinet painting is a good option when you want to:

• Change dark stained cabinets to a lighter painted colour
• Modernize older oak or maple cabinets
• Repaint outdated kitchen cabinetry
• Refinish MDF, melamine, laminate or other suitable surfaces
• Create a contrasting kitchen island
• Use different colours on upper and lower cabinets
• Reduce visible oak grain
• Update cabinet handles
• Refresh a kitchen without changing the existing layout

Paint My Cabinets focuses specifically on cabinet painting and refinishing, not complete kitchen renovations.

How Our Barrie Cabinet Refinishing Process Works

Our process is designed to limit the amount of time we need to work inside your home.

1. Send Us Photos of Your Kitchen

Start by sending us:

• Photos showing the complete kitchen
• Number of cabinet doors
• Number of drawer fronts
• Close-up photos of any damage
• Photos of peeling or previously painted areas

We review the size, layout, cabinet material and existing condition before providing your quote.

Send Your Kitchen Photos

2. Doors and Drawer Fronts Are Removed

At the beginning of your Barrie cabinet painting project:

• Cabinet doors are removed and labelled
• Drawer fronts are removed
• Existing handles are removed
• Removable pieces are transported to our facility

Your cabinet boxes remain installed in the kitchen.

3. Fixed Cabinet Sections Are Painted in Your Home

The fixed exterior cabinetry is completed on-site.

This can include:

• Cabinet boxes
• Exposed side panels
• Suitable trim
• Crown moulding
• Valances
• Other visible fixed cabinet surfaces

The surrounding kitchen is protected before the cabinetry is cleaned, prepared, primed and painted.

For a typical Barrie kitchen, this portion of the work takes approximately two days.

4. Cabinet Doors Are Professionally Spray Finished

Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are completed away from your home.

Our off-site refinishing process includes appropriate:

• Cleaning and preparation
• Surface sanding
• Priming
• Fine-finish spray application
• Professional cabinet coatings

Paint My Cabinets uses professional airless and HVLP spray equipment as part of the cabinet-finishing process.

Once the work inside your home is finished, you can continue using your kitchen while the doors and drawer fronts are being completed.

5. Your Cabinets Are Reinstalled

When the doors and drawer fronts are finished, they are returned to your Barrie home.

We then:

• Reinstall cabinet doors
• Reinstall drawer fronts
• Reinstall approved cabinet hardware
• Complete the final cabinet reassembly

Final installation normally takes approximately two to four hours.

A typical complete kitchen cabinet painting project takes approximately 10 business days.

Why Barrie Homeowners Choose Paint My Cabinets

Cabinet refinishing is different from ordinary interior painting.

Kitchen cabinets are constantly:

• Touched
• Opened and closed
• Exposed to cooking residue
• Cleaned
• Subjected to everyday wear

That makes proper preparation, professional coatings and application important.

What Paint My Cabinets offers:

• 370+ five-star Google reviews
• 5-year warranty
• Fully insured service
• Cabinet painting specialization
• Professional Renner cabinet coatings
• Off-site spray finishing
• Airless and HVLP spray equipment
• Benjamin Moore colour matching
• Matte, satin and semi-gloss finishes
• Optional oak grain filling
• Large portfolio of completed cabinet transformations
• Online photo-based quoting
• Projects starting at $2,500

Paint My Cabinets also completes cabinet refinishing work for other professional painting companies throughout Toronto, the GTA and our broader service area.

These companies use us for the cabinet portion of their projects because cabinet refinishing requires different preparation, coatings, equipment and finishing techniques from standard interior painting.

Why Refinish Your Kitchen Cabinets Instead of Replacing Them?

Not every dated kitchen needs new cabinets.

If your existing cabinetry is still in good condition, professional refinishing can provide a major visual change while keeping the parts of the kitchen that still work.

Cabinet painting may make sense when:

• You like your current kitchen layout
• Cabinet boxes are structurally sound
• Doors and drawer fronts are still in good condition
• You like the existing door style
• The main problem is the colour or stain
• You want to modernize the kitchen without a complete renovation

For many Barrie homeowners, the cabinets themselves are not the problem.

The issue is simply that an older wood stain, colour or finish makes the kitchen look dated.

Professional cabinet painting allows those cabinets to be kept and refinished instead of discarded and replaced.

Recent Kitchen Cabinet Painting Projects in Barrie

Before choosing a cabinet refinishing company, look at completed work.

Paint My Cabinets has completed kitchen cabinet painting projects in Barrie as part of our work throughout Barrie and Simcoe County.

• Contrasting kitchen islands
• Dark-to-light cabinet transformations
• Different cabinet door styles

Professional Cabinet Preparation & Spray Finishing

A durable cabinet finish starts before the final coating is applied.

The preparation process depends on the existing cabinet material, coating and condition.

Cleaning & Degreasing

Kitchen cabinets can accumulate:

• Grease
• Cooking residue
• Oils
• Dirt
• Cleaning-product residue

Suitable cabinet surfaces are cleaned before further preparation so contaminants do not interfere with coating adhesion.

Sanding & Surface Preparation

Cabinet surfaces are prepared according to the existing finish and substrate.

Preparation can include sanding to promote adhesion before priming and painting.

Different materials require different consideration.

For example:

• Stained wood
• Oak
• Maple
• MDF
• Melamine
• Laminate
• Thermofoil
• Previously painted cabinets

cannot always be treated exactly the same way.

Priming

Proper priming creates the foundation for the new cabinet finish.

The required preparation and primer depend on the existing surface and its condition.

Professional Spray Finishing

Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are professionally spray finished at our facility using fine-finish spray equipment.

This allows the removable cabinet components to be completed away from normal household activity.

The fixed cabinet portions remain in your Barrie kitchen and are completed on-site.

Professional Renner Cabinet Coatings

Paint My Cabinets uses professional Renner cabinet coatings for our kitchen cabinet painting projects.

Renner is an Italian professional coating system used for cabinetry and wood finishing.

Why use a professional cabinet coating?

Kitchen cabinetry has very different demands from ordinary painted walls.

Cabinets are:

• Frequently touched
• Regularly cleaned
• Opened and closed repeatedly
• Exposed to kitchen activity
• Expected to maintain a smooth finished appearance

Renner coatings can be matched to Benjamin Moore colours, giving you a large range of colour choices.

Available finishes include:

• Matte
• Satin
• Semi-gloss

You can select the colour and level of sheen that works best with the finished appearance you want for your Barrie kitchen.

For colour ideas, visit our kitchen cabinet colour guide.

Kitchen Cabinet Materials We Paint in Barrie

Many different cabinet materials can be professionally painted when the existing cabinetry remains suitable for refinishing.

Oak Kitchen Cabinets

Oak is one of the most common cabinet materials we refinish.

Because oak has a pronounced natural grain, some darker grain lines can remain visible after painting.

For homeowners who want a smoother appearance, optional grain filling can significantly reduce the visible grain.

Oak Grain Filling Can Help Reduce:

• Dark grain lines
• Strong visual texture
• The traditional appearance associated with older oak cabinetry

Grain filling does not completely eliminate every trace of natural wood texture.

See our painted oak kitchen cabinet gallery.

Maple Kitchen Cabinets

Maple cabinets can be excellent candidates for professional painting.

When maple cabinetry remains in good condition but the existing stained finish looks dated, painting allows homeowners to keep the existing:

• Cabinet boxes
• Doors
• Drawer fronts
• Kitchen layout

while changing the overall appearance.

See our painted maple kitchen cabinet transformations.

MDF Kitchen Cabinets

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

Suitable MDF provides a smooth surface for a painted finish.

Significant swelling or water damage is different because paint cannot repair deterioration inside the MDF itself.

Learn more about our MDF cabinet door painting service.

Melamine Kitchen Cabinets

Melamine cabinets can often be painted when the existing surface remains in suitable condition.

Because melamine has a smooth manufactured surface, preparation and adhesion are particularly important.

Read our guide to painting melamine kitchen cabinets.

Laminate Kitchen Cabinets

Many laminate cabinet surfaces can also be professionally refinished.

The laminate needs to remain:

• Properly attached
• Structurally sound
• Suitable for preparation and coating

Learn more about painting laminate kitchen cabinets.

Thermofoil Kitchen Cabinets

Thermofoil cabinets can be painted when the existing thermofoil remains firmly attached and in suitable condition.

If the thermofoil is peeling or damaged, that issue must be addressed first.

Paint My Cabinets does not remove thermofoil.

If the thermofoil has already been removed, the MDF underneath can be assessed to determine whether it is suitable for painting.

Previously Painted Kitchen Cabinets

Previously painted cabinets can sometimes be professionally repainted.

The critical issue is whether the existing paint is still properly bonded.

Problems include:

• Peeling paint
• Chipping
• Failing coatings
• Poor previous adhesion

Painting over an already failing finish will not correct the problem underneath.

Some cabinets require chemical stripping before refinishing. Paint My Cabinets does not provide chemical stripping.

Most Other Cabinet Types

Other suitable cabinet surfaces can include:

• Birch
• Cherry
• Veneer
• Other wood cabinetry
• Other suitable manufactured cabinet finishes

Cabinet Painting vs Refacing vs Replacement

Not sure which option makes sense for your kitchen?

Cabinet Painting & Refinishing

Usually best when:

• Cabinet boxes are good
• Doors are good
• Drawer fronts are good
• You like the layout
• You like the existing door style
• You mainly want a colour and finish change

You keep the existing cabinetry and have it professionally refinished.

Cabinet Refacing

Usually worth considering when:

• Cabinet boxes remain good
• Existing doors are damaged
• You want a completely different door style
• New doors and drawer fronts are required

Refacing normally retains the cabinet boxes but replaces doors and drawer fronts.

Cabinet Replacement

Replacement makes more sense when:

• Cabinet boxes are badly damaged
• The kitchen layout needs to change
• Existing cabinetry functions poorly
• Significant new cabinetry is required
• The existing cabinet system is no longer worth keeping

If your cabinets are still structurally sound and the main problem is their appearance, replacement may be unnecessary.
