A Specialized Way to Update Good Existing Cabinets 

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

Instead of paying to replace cabinet components that are still working properly, we professionally prepare and refinish the cabinetry 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 cabinet layout

This allows you to make a substantial change to the room while keeping a cabinet system that is already working for you.

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 also 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 Elmvale Kitchen Cabinet Painting Process 

Cabinet refinishing is a specialized process. The finished result depends on the preparation, the condition of the existing cabinetry, the coating system and how the coating is applied.

Our process separates the fixed cabinet sections that must remain in your home from the removable doors and drawer fronts that can be finished 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 any damaged areas, previously painted surfaces or other issues we should review.

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

Cabinet Door and Drawer Removal 

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

Existing cabinet handles are also removed.

The doors and drawer fronts are then taken to our facility where their preparation and spray-finishing process is completed.

Approximately Two Days of Work Inside Your Home 

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

The surrounding areas are protected before these 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 project 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 these removable pieces at our facility gives us a dedicated environment for the preparation and spray-finishing process.

Once the on-site portion is finished, your kitchen will temporarily be without its cabinet doors and drawer fronts while those pieces are completed.

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

Cabinet Reinstallation 

Once the 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 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

Kitchen cabinets need more than ordinary wall paint. They are handled every day and regularly exposed to moisture, grease, cleaning and general wear.

Paint My Cabinets uses Renner professional cabinet coatings, an Italian coating system designed specifically for cabinetry and wood finishing. It provides the smooth, durable finish needed for painted kitchen cabinets and is applied as part of our professional refinishing process.

Your cabinets can be colour matched to Benjamin Moore colours, giving you thousands of options for updating your kitchen.

Choose from three finish options:

• Matte
• Satin
• Semi-gloss

The right sheen comes down to the look you want for your kitchen, and we can help you choose the finish that works best with your cabinet colour and overall design.

For additional colour ideas, see our kitchen cabinet colour guide.

Refinishing Different Types of Kitchen Cabinets 

Many common cabinet materials can be professionally refinished when they are in suitable condition and prepared correctly.

Oak Cabinets 

Oak cabinets can be painted.

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

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

Grain filling significantly reduces the darker 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 is different.

Once MDF has badly swollen or deteriorated, painting cannot reverse the damage to the material 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.

Peeling, chipping or adhesion failure needs to be handled differently.

Applying another coating over an existing failed finish does 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 surface is in good condition and suitable for refinishing.

The exact preparation can depend on what the cabinets are made from, their existing finish and their current condition.

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 our process.

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.

You keep the cabinet boxes, doors and drawer fronts you already own rather than paying to replace usable components.

Cabinet Painting [H3]

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 are still 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 current 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 problem is simply its appearance.

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

Elmvale Kitchen Cabinet Painting FAQs 

What does kitchen cabinet painting cost in Elmvale? 

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 these 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 Elmvale home? 

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

Because cabinets occupy a large amount of visual space in the kitchen, changing an older wood finish or dated cabinet colour can make the entire 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 create a substantial visual improvement while retaining usable existing cabinetry.

What’s the best finish for my Elmvale 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, your cabinet colour and the overall style of the cabinetry. We can discuss all three options before your project.

How do I choose a colour for my kitchen cabinets? 

Start by considering the kitchen elements you plan to keep and the overall appearance you want the cabinetry to have.

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 Elmvale? 

Do not choose a cabinet painting company based only on the lowest 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 oak, MDF and thermofoil?
• 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 clearly explain its process and provide substantial evidence of completed cabinet work.

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 completed, the cabinet doors and drawer fronts remain at our facility while they are being finished.

Your kitchen is temporarily without its cabinet 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 dark 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 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.
