How our cabinet painting process works
Doors and drawers come off
On day one the doors and drawers are removed, labelled and taken to our shop. The kitchen is protected so the rest of your home stays clean.
Off-site spray finish
The doors and drawers are prepared and spray-finished in a controlled space for a smooth, factory-style surface with no brush marks.
Boxes finished on-site
The cabinet boxes are finished in your kitchen by brush and roller, or by spray, depending on what suits the job.
Reinstall and walk-through
Everything goes back on, hardware optional, and we walk through the finished work with you. The balance is due only once you are satisfied.
Cabinet painting vs. replacing your cabinets
If the cabinet boxes are solid, refinishing keeps your layout, avoids weeks of demolition and installation, and costs roughly a third to two thirds of replacement. Replacement is the right call when boxes are water-damaged or failing, or when you want to change the layout. Our painting cost guide explains what moves a quote and how to compare three of them.

Cabinet questions
Ottawa cabinet painting, answered.
How much does cabinet painting cost in Ottawa?
Cabinet refinishing typically costs 30–60% of what replacing the same kitchen would. The exact price depends on the number of doors and drawers, the condition of the existing finish, and whether you are changing the colour inside the boxes. We quote every job as a fixed written price after a free on-site visit, so you know the number before any work starts.
How long does it take to paint kitchen cabinets?
A typical kitchen takes 5–7 days from start to finish. Doors and drawers are removed on day one, spray-finished off-site at our shop, and reinstalled once cured. Most of that time is the finish curing properly, not rushed painting.
Why are the doors sprayed off-site?
A sprayed finish in a controlled space gives a smooth, even, brush-mark-free surface that is very hard to match with a brush and roller in a working kitchen. It also keeps overspray, dust and fumes out of your home while you are living in it.
Is it better to paint cabinets or replace them?
If the cabinet boxes are structurally sound, refinishing is almost always the better value: you keep your layout, avoid weeks of demolition and installation, and pay a fraction of the cost. Replacement only makes sense when the boxes are water-damaged, coming apart, or you want a different layout.
What is the difference between cabinet painting and cabinet refinishing?
In practice, customers use the terms interchangeably. Both mean preparing the existing cabinets and applying a new durable coating rather than replacing them. Our process is a spray-applied finish on the doors and drawers, with the cabinet boxes finished on-site.
Do you guarantee your cabinet work?
Yes. Every project carries a 2-year written workmanship guarantee. A small booking deposit secures your start date, and the balance is due only after we walk through the finished work together and you are satisfied.
