Give us your complex or street name and a guess at the door total, and we will phone to pick a visit day. Or call +1 (289) 206-9908.
We price the kitchen that is actually in front of us. Our written cabinet painting quote spells out door, drawer and box counts, the cabinet material, the matching primer, the topcoat, its sheen and one bottom-line figure. You can hold it next to any other cabinet painting quote and see exactly what each one includes.
We plan around how people live here. A townhouse complex has a property manager, a parking rule and neighbours through the wall. A detached home off Glen Erin Drive has a family that still needs breakfast. We sort out access, parking and working hours before a date goes on the calendar. The about page explains how a job is set up from start to finish.
We tell you when cabinet painting is the wrong answer. Some doors are too far gone, and some wood is too good to cover. You hear that from us on day one, before any money changes hands. Book the visit here and get a straight answer about your cabinets.
Erin Mills has more townhouses than most of Mississauga, so townhouse kitchens make up a large part of our cabinet painting work. Most sit in condominium complexes built from the 1970s through the 1990s, with some freehold rows mixed in.
These kitchens are usually galley or L-shaped, with eighteen to twenty-five doors and drawer fronts. The work is simple in size but the rules matter. Condo corporations may ask for notice, proof of insurance and set working hours, and we handle that paperwork with you. Read more on the townhouse kitchen cabinet painting page, written for exactly these units.
Oak kitchens came into Erin Mills with the western streets of the mid-1980s and stayed common through the 1990s. Oak holds tannin, a natural chemical that bleeds brown through water-based primer. We stop it with a shellac-based primer before any colour goes on.
Oak also has open grain. Filling those pores gives a glassy face, while skipping the filler lets texture read through, and your cabinet painting price moves with that choice. Both paths are laid out on our oak cabinet painting page.
Cherry, walnut and solid maple often look better restored than painted. Some larger homes around Sawmill Valley and the Credit River side of the neighbourhood still have kitchens like this. For those, we strip or sand the old finish, adjust the stain and spray a new clear coat.
We will tell you at the visit which option suits the wood. Our cabinet refinishing page covers when grain should win over cabinet painting.
We spray. Brushwork leaves raised lines that pot lights pick out, and rollers leave an orange-peel surface nobody mistakes for factory work. Sprayed coats go on thin and level out before they dry.
Fronts get their coats inside a clean booth where the air is filtered. Boxes and frames get theirs at home, sealed off with poly sheeting. Coatings and cure times sit on our cabinet spray painting page, and a whole-room walkthrough sits under kitchen cabinet painting.
Slick factory surfaces reject ordinary paint. Melamine and laminate are scuffed by hand, then coated with an adhesion primer designed for glossy plastic, and enamel follows. It is a common cabinet painting job in 1990s Erin Mills kitchens and in rental units.
Thermofoil is different. Once its vinyl face starts pulling away beside a dishwasher or range, no coating will reattach it. We peel those fronts bare or swap them out. Our door-by-door check is described under thermofoil, melamine and laminate cabinet painting.
A swollen door under the sink or a cracked panel can be replaced on its own. It joins every other front in the booth, so nobody can pick it out afterward. When most of the doors are worn out but the boxes are sound, new fronts on the old boxes cost far less than a full kitchen.
Refacing, cabinet painting and tear-out are priced against each other on our cabinet refacing and door replacement page.
A darker island under a lighter perimeter is one of the most requested cabinet painting layouts right now. Navy, sage and charcoal on the island or the lower cabinets, with a warm white above, keeps the room bright and adds some weight at the bottom.
Two colours means two separate spray setups, so it costs a little more. Colour planning and pricing for this layout are under two-tone kitchens and island painting.
Among all cabinet painting jobs, a single vanity is the smallest. It gets the same degreasing, primer and sprayed enamel as a kitchen, with extra attention to moisture near the sink. Booked alongside a kitchen, it comes in cheaper than a separate trip. Read more about bathroom vanity painting.
Condo apartments line Eglinton Avenue West and parts of Erin Mills Parkway, and their kitchens are usually small galleys with melamine or thermofoil doors. The building sets the rules for elevators, loading and working hours. We book around those rules, and the doors leave the unit for spraying. Details are on our condo kitchen cabinet painting page.
Once the kitchen is done, the old pantry and laundry cabinets stand out. These fixed cabinets get their cabinet painting in place, and adding them to the kitchen job lowers the price per door. Our pantry, laundry and built-in cabinet painting page has more.
A new pull rarely matches the old hole spacing. We fill the old holes, sand them flat and drill new ones with a template before the final coat, so nothing shows. With every front already down, soft-close hinges drop in easily. Choices are listed under cabinet hardware and soft-close hinges.
A paint chip under store lights tells you very little. Instead, a full-size door gets sprayed in your shade and stays propped by your counter for several days of morning and evening light. Our cabinet colour consultation page describes that process.
Mississauga swings from sticky July air to bone-dry furnace heat by January. Solid wood doors swell and shrink with that change. A hairline may open beside a panel mid-winter, then shut again when humidity returns. Seasonal wood movement causes that, not failed cabinet painting, and thin sprayed films flex with it better than heavy ones.
Kitchens sell houses, and dated cabinets are one of the first things buyers notice. Cabinet painting is one of the fastest ways to update a kitchen before listing a townhouse or detached home in Erin Mills. Most jobs are finished within two weeks, which fits a typical listing schedule.
A neutral colour like warm white, soft greige or light grey appeals to the most buyers. New pulls and soft-close hinges add a finished feel for a small extra cost. If the home is already on the market, we can work around showings and keep the kitchen tidy each day.
Landlords use cabinet painting the same way between tenants. A fresh, hard finish makes a rental unit near the University of Toronto Mississauga easier to rent and easier to keep clean. Ask about timing when you book your visit.

Kitchen cabinet painting puts fresh colour and a tough sprayed coat on the cabinets you already own, with counters, sink and boxes left in place. Doors come off, get cleaned, sanded and primed for their material, then return with two or three smooth coats.

Townhouse kitchens are compact, usually galley or L-shaped, and the cabinet painting work has to fit around shared walls, visitor parking and condo complex rules. The boxes stay in place, the doors leave for spraying, and the family keeps cooking.

Oak cabinet painting begins with shellac primer, which locks brown tannin inside the wood so it never stains your new colour. After that, deep pores are either packed flat with filler or allowed to show as soft texture.
See Oak Cabinets
Cabinet refinishing keeps the wood grain in view by stripping or sanding the old clear coat, adjusting the stain and spraying a fresh protective finish. It is the right choice over paint when the wood itself is worth showing.
See Refinishing
Cabinet spray painting lays down thin, level coats of hard enamel that dry without brush marks or roller texture. In our cabinet painting work, doors get sprayed in a filtered booth and the boxes get sprayed at home behind plastic sheeting.
See Spray Painting
Glossy factory fronts accept new colour after hand scuffing and an adhesion primer built for plastic faces. Peeling thermofoil is different, so we strip or swap those fronts before cabinet painting starts.
See Thermofoil and Melamine
Cabinet refacing hangs brand-new fronts on the boxes you keep, and those boxes get coated or skinned to match. It suits kitchens where the boxes are solid but the doors are damaged, dated in shape or too worn for cabinet painting alone.
See Refacing and New Doors
Two-tone cabinet painting uses a darker colour on the island or lower cabinets and a lighter colour above. An island-only job brings in colour while leaving everything else alone.

A bathroom vanity gets the same degreasing, primer and sprayed enamel as a kitchen, with extra care for moisture and steam. No cabinet painting job in your home is smaller, and one or two days usually covers it.
See Bathroom Vanities
Condo kitchens are small, and the cabinet work schedule has to follow building rules for elevators, loading and working hours. The doors leave the unit for spraying, so odour stays low and the kitchen keeps working.
See Condo Kitchens
Pantry units, laundry uppers, mudroom lockers and fitted shelving receive kitchen-grade primer and sprayed enamel. Adding them to kitchen cabinet work lowers the cost per cabinet and makes the whole house match.
See Pantries and Built-Ins
Fresh pulls, knobs and quiet hinges complete a painted kitchen, and fitting them goes quickest with every front already down. Before cabinet painting, unused pull holes are packed and sanded so no trace survives under the colour.

Choosing a colour is easier with a real sprayed door in your kitchen than with a small paint chip. We spray a sample in the colour you are considering and leave it in your room so you can see it in your own light before the cabinet painting starts.
See Colour ConsultationWe visit first. At your kitchen we tally fronts and boxes, identify the material, inspect the most worn door, and then send a written cabinet painting quote naming primer, topcoat, coat count and cost.
Day one starts with labelling every front, taking it down, bagging its hinges and photographing where each piece belongs. Floors, counters and nearby rooms are covered with plastic.
Everything gets degreased. Cooking grease builds up on cabinets for decades, and paint will not stick to it. Heavy grease gets a stronger cleaner, and that is listed on the quote.
The doors go to the spray booth. There, dents get filled, faces get scuffed, a material-matched primer goes on, and two or three light topcoats follow with a quick sand between each.
Back at your home, frames and boxes receive identical products behind sealed poly while a fan exhausts the room.
Once fronts return, we rehang them, tune hinges until every gap lines up and fit any new pulls. A final walkthrough together closes out the job.
Touch-dry comes within hours, while full hardness builds over several weeks. Treat fresh cabinet painting kindly for its first week or two while it cures.
Cabinet painting runs far below the price of a new kitchen. Across the GTA, a whole kitchen typically comes in from $2,500 up to $5,500, and fresh cabinetry for that same footprint seldom starts under $15,000.
Your cabinet boxes remain on the wall. Cabinets built in the 1970s and 1980s often have sturdier boxes than what comes flat-packed today, so there is no reason to tear them out.
Counters, tile and plumbing stay in place. The sink keeps working, the backsplash is not disturbed and nobody has to reconnect a dishwasher during cabinet painting.
The kitchen stays usable. Fronts travel out for spraying, boxes get coated on site, and plates and cups sit on open shelves in the meantime.
A dated colour becomes a current one. Golden oak, peach-toned maple and yellowed white can all turn into greige, sage, navy, charcoal or a clean warm white.
A sprayed finish is smooth and hard. Thin coats of cabinet-grade enamel level out flat and stand up to fingers, pots and daily cleaning far better than wall paint.
We take cabinet painting bookings from every part of Erin Mills in Mississauga. That includes the older 1970s streets around South Common and Sawmill Valley, the 1980s homes west toward Winston Churchill Boulevard, and Central Erin Mills and Erin Meadows north of Highway 403.
We also work in Sheridan Homelands just south of Dundas Street. Erin Mills Parkway, Glen Erin Drive, The Collegeway, Burnhamthorpe Road and Eglinton Avenue are our usual routes. Share your street and we will book a time that suits you.
A sample front gets sprayed in the colour you picked and stays with you for a few days. Morning and evening light will tell you if it is right.
GTA kitchens usually price from $2,500 up to $5,500 for the whole room. Compact townhouse galleys can open around $1,500, while big or two-colour rooms may climb into the $6,000 to $9,000 band. Counted per door, figures sit near $130 to $250. Only your own written quote sets your price.
Yes. Fronts are off at the booth while boxes get coated on site, so cooking, dishes and the fridge all carry on. Shelves hold your dishes, just without doors in front of them for a few days.
In most cases, yes. Cabinets inside your unit are usually yours to change. Some condo corporations ask for notice, a contractor's proof of insurance and work within set hours. We provide our insurance papers and follow the rules of your complex.
Only if you want it to. Grain filler makes oak doors smooth like a factory finish. Skip filler and that grain reads through your new colour, which lowers cost and looks right in some rooms.
Waterborne enamel feels dry within hours and handles daily life after about a week. It keeps hardening for several more weeks. Two-part polyurethane hardens overnight. Your quote names the product, and we explain curing care on the last day.
Whole rooms, tight shots of sprayed fronts and the masking and sanding that came first.
