Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Ajax

Kitchen cabinet painting in the GTA typically costs $2,500-$5,000 for an average-sized kitchen, depending on the number of cabinets and condition. This is 70-80% less than replacing cabinets entirely.

Professional cabinet painting typically takes 3-5 days. This includes cleaning, sanding, priming, painting multiple coats, and drying time between coats.

Not when done professionally. RenoHouse uses proper degreasing, sanding, bonding primer, and cabinet-grade paint that resists chipping and peeling. Professional preparation is the key to long-lasting results.

White and off-white remain the most popular cabinet colors in the Ajax, creating a bright, clean look. Gray, navy blue, and sage green are trending as accent or full-cabinet colors for a modern update.

We paint the exterior surfaces — doors, drawer fronts, and visible frame areas. Interior shelves can be painted upon request for an additional cost. Most Ajax homeowners opt for exterior-only painting.

Cabinets can be used within 24-48 hours after the final coat. Full cure takes 2-3 weeks — during this time, handle cabinets gently and avoid placing heavy items against painted surfaces.

Yes, RenoHouse provides a workmanship warranty on all cabinet painting projects. Our professional preparation and cabinet-grade paint ensure results that resist chipping and peeling for years.

For the best results, we remove doors and drawer fronts to paint them in a controlled environment. This eliminates drips, brush marks, and uneven coverage. Frames are masked and painted in place.

Builders typically apply a single coat of flat-finish economy paint to keep costs down. This shows scuffs quickly, doesn't clean well, and fades faster than premium paint. A professional repaint with two coats of quality paint (like Benjamin Moore Regal or Sherwin-Williams Duration) in eggshell or satin finish lasts 8–10 years.

We recommend eggshell or satin finish for walls in family homes — they're washable, hide minor imperfections, and resist scuffing. Use semi-gloss for trim, doors, and high-moisture areas like bathrooms. Flat/matte finishes look beautiful but are harder to clean, so we reserve them for master bedrooms and formal dining rooms.

Painting the whole home in one project is more cost-effective per room than doing rooms individually — you save on setup, cleanup, and mobilization costs. It also ensures consistent color and finish throughout. Most 2,000–3,000 sq ft homes take 3–5 days for a complete interior repaint.
