Professional Cabinet Painting Services
Cabinet painting represents the most cost-effective kitchen transformation approach when existing cabinet doors remain stylistically appropriate but require aesthetic renewal. Kitchen Made New employs factory-grade spray application techniques that deliver superior finish quality compared to brush or roller methods.
Our cabinet painting process includes comprehensive surface preparation, professional primer application, precision spray finishing with high-end materials, and complete reassembly with hardware coordination. Every project receives the same factory-quality finishing techniques regardless of project scale.
Property owners throughout North York, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Markham choose cabinet painting when their existing door style meets their design preferences but color or finish requires updating. This approach provides complete aesthetic transformation at approximately 40-60% of cabinet refacing costs while maintaining existing cabinet configuration.
Kitchen Made New has completed cabinet painting projects across diverse GTA property types, from North York condominium units to Vaughan estate homes. Our 15+ years of regional experience ensures familiarity with local architectural styles and finish preferences. Schedule your complimentary cabinet painting consultation to assess project feasibility.
What Is Cabinet Refacing?
Cabinet refacing is a kitchen renovation technique that replaces all visible cabinet components while preserving the existing structural framework. Rather than removing and discarding functional cabinet boxes, refacing transforms kitchen aesthetics through targeted component replacement.
A complete cabinet refacing project includes:
New custom-fabricated cabinet doors
New drawer fronts
Veneer or spray finish applied to all exposed cabinet box surfaces
New hardware (hinges, pulls, knobs)
Professional installation by Kitchen Made New technicians
Cabinet refacing is appropriate when existing cabinet boxes remain structurally sound and the kitchen layout meets functional requirements. Kitchen Made New evaluates all these factors during a complimentary in-home consultation.
The Cabinet Refacing Process We Use
Every Kitchen Made New cabinet refacing project follows a structured process ensuring consistent results and minimal kitchen disruption:
1. Complimentary consultation — In-home assessment of cabinet condition, layout, and design goals.
2. Accurate measurements taken for custom door fabrication.
3. Design selection — Door style, material, finish, and hardware selection from our full range of options.
4. Custom door fabrication — Doors and drawer fronts manufactured to exact specifications (3–4 weeks).
5. Off-site finishing — All doors and drawer fronts spray-finished at our controlled off-site facility for a dust-free, factory-quality result.
6. On-site frame preparation — Cabinet box faces cleaned, prepared, and spray-finished directly in your kitchen.
7. Professional installation — New doors, drawer fronts, and hardware installed by Kitchen Made New technicians.
Total project timeline: 5–7 days for on-site work, with 3–4 weeks for fabrication ahead of installation.

Cabinet Refacing vs. Cabinet Replacement
Cabinet refacing delivers maximum cost efficiency when existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the kitchen layout functions well. Kitchen Made New provides objective assessments — if replacement is warranted, we'll say so.
Cabinet Refacing vs. Cabinet Painting
Homeowners seeking a new door profile (e.g., switching from raised panel to Shaker) require refacing. Those satisfied with existing door styles benefit from cabinet painting at lower cost. Kitchen Made New provides honest guidance to match the right solution to your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does cabinet refacing last?
Quality cabinet refacing with premium spray finishes (conversion varnish or 2K polyurethane) lasts 15–20+ years with normal use. Kitchen Made New uses only professional-grade finish systems — no water-based or brush-applied coatings.
Do I need to empty my cabinets before refacing?
Yes. Kitchen Made New requires all cabinet contents removed prior to installation day. Countertops and appliances remain in place. Most installations are completed in 2–3 days on-site.
Can cabinet refacing fix water-damaged cabinets?
Cabinet refacing is not appropriate for water-damaged or structurally compromised cabinet boxes. Kitchen Made New assesses cabinet condition during in-home consultations — if boxes show rot, warping, or structural failure, we'll recommend replacement.
What door styles are most popular in GTA homes?
Shaker-style doors are the most requested in the GTA market — they work across traditional, transitional, and contemporary design aesthetics. Flat panel and slab profiles suit modern and minimalist kitchens. Kitchen Made New advises on style selection based on your home's architecture and design preferences.
Do you reface bathroom and laundry room cabinets?
Yes. While kitchen cabinets are our primary application, Kitchen Made New applies the same refacing process to bathroom vanities, laundry room cabinetry, and home office built-ins throughout the GTA.
Is cabinet refacing a good investment before selling a home?
Cabinet refacing provides strong pre-sale ROI in the GTA market. Updated cabinetry improves buyer perception and frequently increases sale price beyond the refacing investment. Kitchen Made New works with real estate agents and homeowners preparing properties for sale.

What's the difference between veneer and spray finishing on cabinet boxes?
Veneer involves applying a thin wood or laminate sheet to cabinet box surfaces for a wood-grain appearance.
Spray finishing applies a factory-grade coating directly to the existing surface with custom color matching.
Kitchen Made New recommends the appropriate method based on your material preferences and design goals.
Can you paint kitchen cabinets if they've been previously painted?
Yes, Kitchen Made New can paint over previously painted cabinets.
Our surface preparation process addresses existing finish conditions through appropriate cleaning, deglossing, and primer application to ensure proper new finish adhesion regardless of previous coating types.
Do you offer painting services beyond kitchen cabinets?
Yes, Kitchen Made New provides spray painting and wood painting services for bathroom vanities, built-in cabinetry, interior trim, crown molding, baseboards, and custom millwork throughout GTA properties.
