Cabinet Painting & Refinishing in Calgary

A sprayed cabinet finish gives your kitchen or bathroom a fresh, modern look for a fraction of the cost of new cabinets — usually with far less mess and downtime than a full renovation. If your cabinet boxes are solid but the doors look dated, refinishing is often the smartest money you can spend in the room.

Why the prep makes the finish

Cabinets take more wear than any surface in the home, so adhesion is everything. We remove and label the doors and drawers, degrease every surface (built-up kitchen grease is the number-one reason cabinet finishes fail), scuff-sand, and apply a bonding primer made to grip slick factory coatings. Only then do we spray the finish coats — brushing leaves strokes; spraying is what gives that smooth, factory-like look.

A durable, sprayed finish

We use cabinet-grade coatings built for daily use. Like any painted finish, it needs a few days to fully cure — we'll show you how to treat doors and drawers gently in the first week so the finish hardens properly. Cared for normally, a quality cabinet refinish holds up well for years.

Less disruption than a renovation

Refinishing keeps your layout and your boxes — no demolition, no plumbing, no weeks without a kitchen. We work cleanly, contain dust and overspray, and reinstall your doors, drawers, and hardware once the finish is ready. Cabinet refinishing pairs naturally with interior painting and popcorn ceiling removal for a full kitchen refresh.

Choosing a colour and finish that lasts

Cabinets set the tone for the whole kitchen, so the colour decision matters. Crisp whites and soft off-whites keep a space bright and timeless; warm greiges and deep greens or navies add character on islands and lowers. We walk you through it — including how your countertops, backsplash, and flooring read against each option — and can coordinate with your interior designer. We'll also talk through sheen: a satin or low-sheen finish wipes clean and hides everyday handling better than a high gloss.

Keeping your kitchen usable

A cabinet project doesn't have to shut your kitchen down. We label and remove the doors and drawers, take them to a controlled area for spraying so dust and overspray stay out of your living space, and finish the boxes in place. You keep the use of your counters and appliances through most of the project, and we reinstall everything once the finish has cured enough to handle. We'll show you how to treat the doors gently in that first week so the finish hardens properly.

“Cabinets are all about prep — degrease, sand, bond-prime, then spray. Skip a step and it chips. We don't skip steps — that's the difference between a finish that looks factory-made and one that peels in a year.”

What goes into your price

Cabinet pricing comes down to the number of doors and drawers, the cabinet material and current finish, the colour change, and any repairs needed. The best way to get an accurate number is a free, on-site estimate.
