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.
Apartment condos stand along Eglinton Avenue West, Erin Mills Parkway and near Erin Mills Town Centre, and newer towers have been added along the main roads in recent years. Most of their kitchens are galleys or small L-shapes with melamine or thermofoil doors.
Most condo buildings require you to book the service elevator for contractors. Some ask for notice to the property manager, proof of the contractor's insurance and work only on weekdays during set hours.
We handle those steps with you. We send our insurance papers, book the elevator time with you and carry the doors out wrapped. Nothing is sprayed on balconies or in hallways.
Every front leaves for our booth. Inside your unit, boxes and frames get waterborne coatings with a fan pulling air out.
You keep the sink, stove and fridge. Shelves hold dishes while the doors are away. The unit stays livable through the whole cabinet painting job.
Air in a condo building moves between units through hallways and vents. Strong solvent smells can bother neighbours and lead to complaints. Our in-unit work uses waterborne primers and enamels that are low in odour.
The strongest steps, including solvent-based primers when needed, happen in the booth away from the building. That keeps your neighbours and your property manager comfortable.
Condo galleys typically hold somewhere between ten and fifteen fronts. That puts most condo cabinet painting jobs at around $1,500 to $2,500 in the Greater Toronto Area. Bonding primer for melamine or thermofoil adds to that. Bigger suites with an island can land in the normal whole-kitchen band of $2,500 up to $5,500.
Your written quote shows the count, the primer and the total. Condo units with vanities can add them at a lower cost. See bathroom vanity painting.
In a small kitchen, the cabinets are close to your eyes and under bright light. Brush marks, drips and uneven edges are easy to see. That is why condo cabinet painting is sprayed, even when there are only a few doors.
Condo kitchens also often have a microwave hood, a narrow pantry and cabinets above the fridge. We include each one in the count so the whole kitchen matches. Glass-front doors are masked and sprayed carefully so the glass stays clean.
Condo units around Erin Mills Town Centre change hands and tenants often. Cabinet painting goes fastest in a vacant suite, since nobody is cooking. We can often finish a condo galley within a week of the doors leaving.
For a unit going on the market, a clean white or soft greige is a safe colour that suits most buyers. For a rental, a two-part finish in a satin sheen stands up best to heavy use and frequent cleaning.
At your suite we tally fronts, confirm the material and note building rules, then send a free price on paper. Dial +1 (289) 206-9908, pick a visit time, or go to our home page. Condo townhouses are covered under townhouse kitchen cabinet painting.
The bathroom vanity, the laundry uppers and the hall shelving in a South Common town get the kitchen's exact coating system.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

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.
