FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before booking.

How long does cabinet painting take?

Most kitchen cabinet painting projects are completed in 4 to 5 business days. Larger kitchens with 40+ doors may take a day or two more. You'll receive a firm timeline in your written quote.

Will the paint chip or peel?

Not with our process. We use commercial-grade 2K polyurethane coatings — the same material used on factory-finished cabinetry. Combined with proper surface preparation using our proprietary degreaser, the finish bonds correctly and is backed by a 5-year warranty.

Can I use my kitchen during the project?

The cabinet boxes remain in place throughout, so you'll have limited kitchen access. Doors and drawers are off-site at our spray booth during the process. We recommend planning for limited cooking during those 4–5 days.

What colours can you paint my cabinets?

Virtually any colour. We colour-match to Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Farrow & Ball, and most major paint brands. We also offer two-tone combinations — a different colour on uppers vs. lowers — which is one of the most popular choices right now.

How much cabinet painting cost?

Most GTA kitchen cabinet painting projects fall between $3,000–$8,000 depending on door count, cabinet condition, and finish selected. This is typically 60–70% less than the cost of replacing your cabinets. You'll receive a detailed written quote after your free estimate.

Do you paint just the cabinets or boxes too?

Both. Doors and drawer fronts are removed and painted in our professional spray booth. Cabinet boxes — the parts that stay mounted on your wall — are painted on-site with the same process and product. We do not paint the cabinet interior, only the edges and exposed panels.

WHY IT MATTERS

Spray finish vs. brush & roller

Most painters use a brush or roller. We use professional spray equipment. The difference is visible from across the room.

  • Brush & Roller (typical painter)

    Brush marks, roller texture, visible lap lines. Uneven coverage on edges and recesses. Looks painted — not factory-finished.

  • Professional Spray System (us)

    Flawless, glass-smooth finish with zero brush marks. Same result as factory-finished cabinetry — backed by a 5-year warranty.

  • Commercial-Grade Coating

    We use 2K solvent-based polyurethane — the same coating used on high-end kitchen manufacturers' doors. Resists chips, moisture, and daily wear.

PAINT TECHNOLOGY

Not all cabinet paint is equal

Most painters use whatever is cheap and easy. We chose our coating system based on one question: what lasts longest on kitchen cabinets? Here's what the differences actually mean.

We use a 2-component solvent-based polyurethane — the same coating system used by professional kitchen cabinet manufacturers. Each of the three choices below explains why that matters for your kitchen specifically.

1-Component vs 2-Component

❌ Most painters

1K Single-Component

  • Ready to use, no mixing

  • Cures by solvent evaporation only

  • Softer final film

  • Can re-dissolve with cleaners

  • More prone to chipping over time

✓ We use this

2K Two-Component

  • Base + hardener mixed on-site

  • Cures by chemical cross-linking

  • Dramatically harder film

  • Cannot be re-dissolved once cured

  • Industry standard for cabinetry

💡 The chemical reaction in a 2K product creates a cross-linked polymer network — essentially a hard plastic shell over your cabinets. A 1K product simply dries; a 2K product chemically transforms into something far harder and more durable. For kitchen cabinets that get touched, cleaned, and exposed to steam every day, this difference is significant.

Lacquer vs Polyurethane

❌ Common choice

Lacquer

  • Fast drying, easy to apply

  • Decent for low-traffic furniture

  • Softer, more brittle film

  • Can be dissolved by household solvents

  • Less resistant to kitchen grease & steam

✓ We use this

Polyurethane

  • Extremely hard, tough film

  • Purpose-built for high-wear surfaces

  • Excellent abrasion resistance

  • Resists kitchen grease, steam & cleaners

  • Standard on factory-finished cabinets

💡 Lacquer is widely used in decorative furniture painting because it's cheap and fast. But kitchen cabinets are not furniture — they face grease, steam, cleaning products, and constant physical contact. Polyurethane was specifically formulated for high-wear surfaces and is what every reputable cabinet manufacturer coats their doors with from the factory.

Water-Based vs Solvent-Based

❌ Common choice

Water-Based

  • Lower odour during application

  • Faster dry time between coats

  • Generally softer end result

  • Can raise wood grain

  • Less moisture resistance

✓ We use this

Solvent-Based

  • Superior flow & levelling

  • Harder, denser final film

  • Better moisture resistance

  • Doesn't raise wood grain

  • Longer open time = smoother finish

💡 Water-based paints are popular because they're low-odour and easy to work with. But solvent-based formulas flow and level better — meaning fewer imperfections in the cured finish — and produce a harder, denser film that better resists the moisture a kitchen generates daily. We also use a proprietary solvent-based degreaser during prep that removes waxes and silicones from cabinet surfaces without swelling the wood, ensuring the coating bonds correctly from day one.

Our Coating System- 2K Solvent-Based Polyurethane

Every one of those three choices points to the same coating: 2-component, solvent-based polyurethane. It's harder, more durable, and more resistant to everything a kitchen can throw at it than any alternative. It's also why we can offer a 5-year warranty when most painters offer none — because we know how the product performs over time.
