Which Cabinet Types Can Be Refinished?
Almost every cabinet in a GTA kitchen can be professionally spray painted — each substrate just requires its own preparation approach. Here’s how we handle each one.
Oak Cabinets
Open grain requires grain-fill before primer. Three prep coats produce a glass-smooth result on even the most pronounced oak grain.
Maple Cabinets
Tight, dense grain — the easiest wood to spray. Standard bonding primer and two Renner coats produce the smoothest result of any wood substrate.
Thermofoil
Common in 2000s GTA builder kitchens. Adhesion primer is critical — we always test-patch a hidden door before committing any topcoat.
Melamine & Laminate
Slick surface over particleboard, same adhesion primer approach as thermofoil. When Renner dries, it will as hard as a shell.
MDF & Shaker Doors
The easiest substrate to spray — ultra-smooth MDF with Renner is the benchmark for a perfectly flat, modern satin finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions Toronto homeowners ask us most before booking. For service-specific questions, see the relevant service page.
How much does cabinet refinishing cost in Toronto?
Most Toronto and GTA kitchens we refinish cost between $2,600 and $7,800 all-in. The main variables are door count, cabinet material (oak grain-fill and thermofoil prep add time), and finish complexity — one colour vs. two-tone. Every quote we provide is a fixed price, confirmed in writing at the consultation visit. Use our online calculator for a fast ballpark, or call us for an on-site quote at no charge.
How long does the refinishing process take?
Most projects are completed in 5 to 8 business days from start to final walkthrough. Day 1 is prep and door removal; days 2–4 are shop spray and cure time; days 5–7 are reinstall and touch-up. Your kitchen remains usable most evenings throughout the process — we only have full access during working hours.
Do I need to empty my cabinets before you start?
Yes — we ask that you remove items from cabinet interiors before we arrive on Day 1. The boxes stay in place (we paint them on-site), so anything on the shelves needs to be stored temporarily. Most homeowners use the dining table or spare room. We take care of everything else: door removal, masking, protection of counters and appliances.
Can you completely change the colour of my cabinets?
Absolutely — colour change is one of the most common reasons homeowners call us. We can go from dark oak to bright white, from dated beige to bold navy, from builder-grade brown to a modern two-tone. Our team will discuss colour options with you at the consultation and can provide sample boards if needed. There are no limitations on colour direction.
Is refinishing worth it compared to buying new cabinets?
For most Toronto homeowners, yes — especially if your cabinet boxes are structurally sound. Refinishing typically costs 50–70% less than new custom cabinetry, takes days rather than weeks, and produces a finish that’s visually indistinguishable from factory-made when done properly with spray equipment and professional coatings. If your cabinet boxes are water-damaged or you need a full layout change, that’s when replacement makes more sense — and we’ll tell you that honestly at the consultation.
What warranty do you offer?
We provide a 5-year written warranty on all paint and workmanship — covering chipping, peeling, hardware alignment, and finish defects. This warranty is backed by Royal Home Painters, our parent company with 17 years of operation in the GTA. You receive a signed warranty document at the final walkthrough, not a handshake promise.
What coating or paint do you use?
Our primary coating is Renner — a professional Italian cabinet lacquer used by furniture factories and high-end cabinet manufacturers. It’s a two-component (2K) waterborne coating that cures harder, more durable, and more resistant to moisture and grease than any consumer-grade paint, including Benjamin Moore Advance. For specific applications, we also use Benjamin Moore Advance and Envirolak water-based lacquer.
Do you serve my area?
We serve all of Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area including North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Vaughan, Woodbridge, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Newmarket, Thornhill, Markham, Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, King City, and Stouffville.
