Pantry cupboards, laundry uppers, mudroom lockers, family room wall units and bookcases receive the primer and sprayed enamel the kitchen does. Since most are fastened in place, their cabinet painting happens on site inside a plastic tent.
A typical two-story East Credit house from the 1990s has a main-floor laundry room off the garage door, a pantry cupboard near the kitchen and often a wall unit around the family room fireplace. Most of them were built in the same oak or maple as the kitchen.
A wall-to-wall bookcase, a fireplace surround or a mudroom bench stays where it is, so its cabinet painting happens on site. Their doors and removable shelves still travel to the shop.
Containment makes in-house spraying work. Plastic is sealed from floor to ceiling, floors are covered along the path, extraction runs and the next rooms are masked. The spray stays inside the work area.
Built-ins end up matching the kitchen because they share its products and its steps: one primer for the material, one topcoat and one coat count. Our cabinet spray painting page walks through it.
A laundry room gets humidity from the dryer and traffic from the garage door. Mudroom lockers take kicks, soggy boots, hockey bags and a lot of slamming.
That kind of abuse calls for a tougher cabinet painting product. A catalyzed urethane pays for itself on a mudroom bench, even if a rarely touched bookcase would be fine without it.
Lower edges and toe kicks catch the most slush and road salt, so cabinet painting here covers them fully.
In the 1990s two-story homes across East Credit, the main-floor laundry usually has a run of uppers and sometimes a sink base. A pantry cupboard or a tall pantry column often sits beside the fridge.
Newer Heartland homes from the 2000s tend to have a walk-in pantry with open shelves and a separate laundry run, both supplied with the kitchen. Basement wet bars and second kitchens appear in many houses too, and they fold into one booking with the main kitchen.
Painting all of these together makes sense, because the containment and equipment are already set up. The price per cabinet drops when the rooms are combined.
Many 1990s East Credit kitchens have a built-in desk with a drawer bank, or a hutch with glass doors on the dining side. Those pieces go into the cabinet painting count like any other cabinet.
Glass-front doors take more time because the glass is masked or removed before spraying. Open shelves inside a hutch add surface area. Each of these shows up on the cabinet painting quote, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Setup, travel, masking and the plastic tent are paid for once. Tacking the laundry cupboards onto a kitchen cabinet painting job costs far less than a separate booking down the road.
Kitchen plus pantry plus laundry plus a vanity is a bundle we see often. For the vanities, see bathroom vanity painting. Every room is priced separately, so any one can be removed.
At booking, name every room with cabinets, even ones you are unsure about. Adding them to the quote costs nothing, and crossing one off later is simple. Call +1 (365) 217-9589, tell us which rooms, or visit the home page for all our cabinet painting services.
Ensuite vanities, laundry uppers, pantry towers and wall units are primed and topcoated just like the kitchen.
Kitchen cabinet painting gives a tired 1990s kitchen a fresh colour and a tough sprayed coat, and the boxes, countertop and sink never leave the wall. Each door is cleaned, scuffed, primed to suit its wood and sprayed before it is rehung.

Arched cathedral doors can be painted as they are, filled to a square top, or swapped for flat shaker doors while the rest of the kitchen is painted. Cabinet painting on these doors starts with one decision about the curve, and we price every option at the visit.

Oak cabinet painting needs a stain-blocking primer because oak tannin bleeds brown through water-based products. The open grain also telegraphs through paint unless it is filled level before the topcoats go on.

Cabinet refinishing removes the old clear coat by sanding or stripping, refreshes the stain tone and locks the colour in under a fresh sprayed clear topcoat. We recommend it instead of paint whenever the grain is the best feature in the room.

A spray gun breaks the coating into tiny droplets that flow together and level before they set, leaving no brush lines or roller stipple. Cabinet painting applied this way looks much like a finish from a cabinet factory.

Shiny factory doors keep paint only when a purpose-made bonding primer goes on first and the surface itself is still firmly attached. Cabinet painting does well on solid melamine and firmly bonded thermofoil, but a vinyl skin that is already lifting is past saving with a coating.

Refacing hangs brand-new doors and drawer fronts on the carcasses already in your kitchen, while door replacement swaps only the few doors that are damaged or out of style. Both are often paired with cabinet painting so the new and old parts finish in one matching colour.

Light uppers over darker lowers, or a painted perimeter with a contrasting island, are the two-tone layouts people ask for most. A lone island is a full cabinet painting job in its own right and one of the quickest ways to change a room.

Most vanities take one or two days, and no job we do is easier to live around. The doors are sprayed at the shop, the base is sprayed on site, and after cabinet painting the bathroom is back in service fast.

Condo and townhouse kitchens are small, usually ten to twenty doors, and the job moves quickly once the building rules are sorted out. Cabinet painting in a shared complex works best when parking, work hours and noise are planned first.

Leftover knob holes are plugged and filled so the new colour hides them completely, and new holes for pulls are bored off a jig so each handle sits level. Tired hinges get swapped during cabinet painting, since the doors are down anyway.

Paint chips under store lights are a poor guide, so we spray one of your actual doors in your favourite candidate shade and leave it standing in the room. The shades we are asked for most in cabinet painting right now are warm white, cream, greige, sage and deep green.
