New doors and drawer fronts hang on the boxes you already own, and the frames and end panels are coated to match. When only a few doors have failed, those pieces are replaced and finished along with the rest in the same cabinet painting job.
In Churchill Meadows the second option is the one we quote most often. A sink base swollen from a slow leak, a thermofoil door with a torn skin near the dishwasher, or a drawer front that cracked at the pull is a problem with one piece. That alone is no reason to tear out a kitchen that went in during the 2000s.
The boxes decide it first. If they are square, dry and fixed firmly to the wall, there is nothing to fix, and cabinet painting the doors you have usually gives the best value.
The doors decide the rest. Thermofoil that has let go, particleboard swollen by water, veneer sanded through in an old repair, or a panel split through the middle is past what paint can fix. Two or three of those is a replacement job. When most of the doors look like that, refacing is worth pricing.
Layout is the third question. A kitchen that already works for your family keeps working after refacing or cabinet painting. A kitchen with a poor layout stays poor after either one, and we will say so while we are standing in it.
Across Mississauga, cabinet painting for a full kitchen typically prices from $2,500 up to $5,500. Hanging new doors and fronts on the boxes you have tends to cost $3,000 to $10,000, with the style of door and the number of pieces setting where it lands.
Tearing out for a brand-new kitchen begins near $15,000 and goes up fast. With detached homes in Churchill Meadows now selling well above a million dollars, a new kitchen still rarely makes sense when the boxes are sound. One new door usually runs a few hundred dollars, and once it is sprayed with the rest, nobody can pick it out. Those figures are general market bands, and your written quote sets your actual price.
A freshly primed replacement will never blend with a door from 2005 unless both are painted together. So every door in the run gets the cabinet painting together, from one batch of primer and topcoat, with an equal number of coats.
Door style matters as much as colour. A plain shaker door is easy to match. A thermofoil door with a routed pattern is harder, and a shaker replacement in a kitchen of raised-panel doors will look like a repair. If a close match is not possible, we tell you before anything is ordered.
Most kitchens in this area were built within the last twenty-five years with standard European hinges and frameless or face-frame boxes. Replacement doors can usually be drilled for the same hinge, which keeps the swap simple. Hinge choices are covered under cabinet hardware and soft-close hinges.
Keeping sound boxes also means no demolition, no counter removal and no plumbing work. That is a large saving on its own, before any cabinet painting begins.
Before you spend money on new doors, the boxes should be checked. We test for square and moisture, identify the door material, count how many pieces truly cannot take cabinet painting, then price both routes in writing. Call +1 (289) 206-9978, book a visit, or visit the Churchill Meadows home page. When peeling thermofoil is the problem, thermofoil, melamine and laminate cabinet painting is worth reading too.
Vanities, pantries, laundry rooms, mudroom lockers and basement bars are primed and sprayed with the kitchen's enamel.
We unscrew every door and drawer front; each one is degreased and sanded, takes a primer chosen for its material, and receives a tough sprayed enamel before it is rehung. Kitchen cabinet painting gives the room a new colour while the counters, sink and floors stay exactly where they are.

Dark espresso maple and brown thermofoil can be painted white, greige or any light colour when the factory finish is scuffed and sealed under a bonding primer first. Espresso cabinet painting takes one more primer step than a light kitchen, and that step is what keeps the brown from showing through.

Oak needs a stain-blocking primer so its tannin does not rise through the new colour, and a choice about whether to fill the open grain. When oak cabinet painting follows those two steps, the finish stays clean and even for years.

Refinishing leaves the grain on show: we sand or strip the old coat, stain the wood to a new tone and spray a fresh clear finish over it. It is the right choice when the wood is worth showing, and paint is the right choice when it is not.

Sprayed coats land as a fine mist that flows level before it dries, so the finished door has no brush lines at all. Cabinet painting done with a sprayer looks like a factory finish instead of a weekend project.

Slick factory surfaces need a bonding primer made to grip them, because ordinary primer slides off. Sound melamine, laminate and thermofoil all accept cabinet painting, although a vinyl face that is already peeling is beyond what paint can rescue.

White or warm white on the upper cabinets with navy, sage or charcoal below is the look most people ask about, often with the island in the darker colour. Island cabinet painting on its own is also a full job we quote separately.

One vanity usually needs a single day, now and then two, which makes it our smallest booking. The vanity's fronts ride to our booth and its base is finished where it sits, so the bathroom is usable again soon after the cabinet painting wraps up.

Stacked townhouses and condo towns usually have compact kitchens with ten to twenty doors, so the work moves quickly. Condo cabinet painting goes smoothly when parking, access and the board's rules are sorted out before the first day.

Pantry cabinets, laundry uppers, mudroom lockers, basement bars and built-in desks all get the same primer and sprayed enamel as the kitchen. Since most of them are anchored in place, we carry out this cabinet painting on site inside a sealed plastic enclosure.

Unused pull holes are plugged and filled flush, and fresh holes are bored with a jig so the pulls sit level along each run. Tired hinges can be changed to soft-close models while the doors are down for cabinet painting.

Warm white tops the request list, followed by soft cream, greige, sage, navy and charcoal, yet a tiny chip from the paint store gives little idea how each will read in your house. We spray one of your doors in the actual shade and leave it in the kitchen, so the cabinet painting choice happens in your own light.
See Colour ConsultationWe come over, count each door and drawer, confirm the material and spell out the work. The visit and quote are both free.
Colour, door style, rough age: note whatever you can, and expect a call to pick a day. Just a name and number will send it. You can also call us at +1 (289) 206-9978.
