Erin Mills Cabinet Painting gives existing cabinets new colour, restored wood or fresh hardware. Our work is fully insured from start to finish. We work on kitchens, islands, vanities, pantries, laundry cabinets and built-ins in townhouses, semis, detached homes and condo units across Erin Mills and its nearby streets.
Cabinet painting is closer to furniture finishing than to wall painting. Fronts get opened and bumped all day long, which is why each one needs cleaning, a suitable primer, light sprayed layers and proper curing. That is how we approach every job, from a small condo galley to a large family kitchen.
A single number on a quote does not tell you much. Each cabinet painting quote we write shows front and box counts, material, primer, topcoat, sheen and coat count.
Separate lines cover interiors, crown trim, glazed fronts, patched and new pull holes, and any pulls we supply. If something changes during the job, you get a new written line before the work happens. Our services page explains each service in detail, so nothing on the quote is a surprise.
Cabinet painting has two parts because each part needs different conditions. Fronts get labelled, hinges get bagged, and everything rides to a booth where temperature holds steady and air is filtered. Such conditions produce the level coat you see afterward.
Wall-mounted boxes and frames get coated on site, sealed behind poly while a fan exhausts the room. Dividing things like this keeps your kitchen working, a big deal in compact townhouse and condo units. More detail sits under cabinet spray painting.
Paint is the wrong answer for certain cabinets. Lifting thermofoil, leak-swollen particleboard and loose boxes each need fixing or replacing before anything else. Paint does not fix those problems.
Some wood is too good to cover. Cherry, walnut and solid maple often look best refinished, as the cabinet refinishing page explains. Golden oak from the 1980s and 1990s, on the other hand, usually looks much better painted, as the oak cabinet painting page shows. We give you the honest answer for your kitchen.
Erin Mills was planned as a complete new community starting in the early 1970s, and it was built in stages over about twenty years. The streets south of Highway 403, around South Common and Sawmill Valley, came first. Western streets came next around 1985, and building north of the 403 in Central Erin Mills and Erin Meadows carried on from 1989 into the 1990s.
That history tells us what to expect. The 1970s townhouses and semis often have stained veneer or slab doors that need careful degreasing. The 1980s homes are full of golden oak that needs stain-blocking primer. The 1990s homes and condo units often have melamine and thermofoil that need bonding primer. We plan every cabinet painting job around the material we find.
Every home runs on a different schedule. Some families need the kitchen for early breakfasts before school, and some people work nights and sleep during the day. Our visit covers your routine so cabinet painting days fit around it.
In townhouse complexes and condo buildings, we also plan around the property manager's rules, parking and elevator bookings. We keep the work area tidy at the end of each day so the house stays livable. Before we leave on the last day, we walk through the finished cabinet painting with you and answer any questions about care and curing.
Pricing needs someone standing in your kitchen, counting fronts and checking material, since a phone call cannot do it. You pay nothing for that visit or its written figure, and nothing binds you afterward. Phone +1 (289) 206-9908, fill in your kitchen details, or head to our cabinet painting home page.
Here is the full list of work we take on for Erin Mills households.
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.
See Townhouses
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.

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.

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.
See Two-Tone and Islands
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.
See Hardware and Hinges
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.
