Cabinet Painting Specialists

Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed from your kitchen and professionally spray finished at our facility.

The fixed cabinet boxes and other visible fixed sections remain in your home and are completed on-site.

This allows the removable cabinet pieces to be prepared and sprayed away from normal household activity while limiting the amount of time our team needs to work inside your kitchen.

Professional Renner Cabinet Coatings

We use professional Renner cabinet coatings for our kitchen cabinet painting projects.

Renner coatings are designed for cabinetry and wood finishing and can be matched to Benjamin Moore colours.

Available finish options include:

• Matte
• Satin
• Semi-gloss

How Our Oshawa Cabinet Painting Process Works

Our cabinet refinishing process separates the work that needs to be completed inside your home from the doors and drawer fronts that can be professionally prepared and spray finished off-site.

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 kitchen size, layout, cabinet material and existing condition before providing your quote.

Send Your Kitchen Photos

2. Cabinet Doors and Drawer Fronts Are Removed

At the beginning of your project:

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

The cabinet boxes remain installed in your kitchen.

3. Fixed Cabinet Sections Are Prepared and Painted in Your Home

The fixed exterior portions of the cabinetry are completed on-site.

Depending on your kitchen, this can include:

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

The surrounding kitchen is protected before work begins.

The cabinetry is cleaned and prepared according to the existing material and finish before priming and painting.

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

4. Cabinet Doors and Drawer Fronts Are Spray Finished Off-Site

Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are prepared and professionally spray finished at our facility.

The off-site refinishing process can include:

• Cleaning and preparation
• Surface sanding
• Priming
• Fine-finish spray application
• Professional Renner 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 complete, you can continue using your kitchen while the doors and drawer fronts are being finished off-site.

5. Your Cabinets Are Returned and Reinstalled

When the doors and drawer fronts are complete, they are returned to your Oshawa home.

We then:

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

Final installation normally takes approximately two to four hours.

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

Kitchen Cabinets We Paint in Oshawa

Many common kitchen cabinet materials can be professionally refinished when the existing cabinetry remains in suitable condition.

Oak Kitchen Cabinets

Oak cabinets can be professionally painted.

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

Optional grain filling is available for homeowners who want to significantly reduce the appearance of darker grain lines and create a smoother overall appearance.

See our painted oak kitchen cabinet transformations.

Maple Kitchen Cabinets

Maple cabinets can be excellent candidates for professional refinishing when the cabinetry remains in good condition.

Painting allows you to keep the existing cabinet boxes, doors, drawer fronts and kitchen layout while changing the colour and finished appearance.

See our painted maple kitchen cabinet transformations.

MDF Kitchen Cabinets

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

Significant swelling or water damage needs to be assessed separately because painting cannot repair deterioration inside damaged MDF.

Learn more about our MDF cabinet door painting service.

Other Cabinet Surfaces

We can also assess many:

• Melamine cabinets
• Laminate cabinets
• Thermofoil cabinets
• Birch cabinets
• Cherry cabinets
• Veneer
• Other suitable wood and manufactured cabinet surfaces

Thermofoil must remain firmly attached and in suitable condition. Paint My Cabinets does not remove thermofoil.

Previously painted cabinets also need to be assessed because peeling or poorly bonded existing paint can prevent successful refinishing.

Not sure what type of cabinets you have?

Send us photos and we can review the existing cabinetry.

Should You Paint, Reface or Replace Your Kitchen Cabinets?

If your cabinet boxes, doors and drawer fronts are still in good condition and you mainly want to change the colour or finish, cabinet painting is usually the most practical option.

Cabinet Painting

Usually makes the most sense when:

• Cabinet boxes remain structurally sound
• Doors and drawer fronts are in good condition
• You like the existing kitchen layout
• You like the existing cabinet door style
• The main issue is the colour or stain

Cabinet Refacing

Refacing may make more sense when the cabinet boxes are still good but:

• Existing doors are damaged
• New doors are required
• You want a completely different cabinet door style

Cabinet Replacement

Complete replacement is generally better suited to kitchens where:

• Cabinet boxes are badly damaged
• The kitchen layout needs to change
• Existing cabinetry functions poorly
• Significant new cabinetry is required

If your existing cabinets are still structurally sound and you are happy with the layout, replacing the entire kitchen may be unnecessary.
