Laundry uppers, pantry cupboards, bench-and-locker units by the garage door, bookcases and fireplace built-ins all go through the primer and sprayed enamel your kitchen gets. Because nearly all of them are attached to the house, cabinet painting for these rooms happens on site behind plastic.
Nobody thinks about these rooms until the kitchen is finished. Then the laundry room, still in its old oak or maple, suddenly looks out of date next to the new kitchen colour.
A wall of built-in shelves, a mantel or a side-door bench with cubbies has to be painted where it stands, so the cabinet painting comes to the room. Any doors and loose shelves still make the trip to our booth.
Spraying indoors only stays tidy when the room is sealed properly. Sheeting runs from the floor up to the ceiling, drop cloths cover every step of our route, fans vent air to the outside and the neighbouring rooms are masked off. Overspray has nowhere to go.
These pieces match your kitchen because they get identical products. Same primer for the surface, same enamel, same number of coats, sprayed the same way, as our spray painting page explains.
A laundry room is damp from the washer and dryer. Mudroom lockers get bumped with boots, stuffed with wet coats and slammed shut every day.
Hard-working rooms deserve the tougher coating. We usually recommend two-part polyurethane for a side-door bench, though a den bookcase is fine with enamel.
Pay attention to the bottoms and toe kicks. They take water and grit, so we coat them fully instead of stopping at eye level.
Older 1970s houses east of Winston Churchill Boulevard often have a basement laundry with a few plain cupboards, and sometimes a pantry cupboard at the end of the kitchen. Those were built at the same time as the kitchen and match it.
Two-story homes in Lisgar and Meadowvale Village from the 1990s and 2000s tend to have more: a pantry cabinet, a main-floor laundry with uppers and a mudroom bench by the garage door. Painting them with the kitchen makes sense, since our setup is already in the house.
The older houses in the Meadowvale Village heritage district bring built-in cupboards and shelving that have been painted many times. Cabinet painting there is mostly about cleaning out the old buildup in the mouldings before new colour goes on.
Setup, masking, containment and the drive are billed once per booking. That makes laundry cupboards added to a kitchen job far cheaper than a separate cabinet painting visit months later.
Lots of Meadowvale bookings bundle the kitchen with a pantry, the laundry uppers and a bathroom vanity. Vanities have their own bathroom vanity page. Every room gets its own quote line, which shows the cost of each part of the cabinet painting.
Many Meadowvale houses have a finished basement with a wet bar or a wall of built-in cabinets from the 1980s. These often match the kitchen oak and look just as dated.
They get the same cabinet painting prep: degreasing, the right primer and sprayed coats. Basement rooms can be cooler, so we check the room temperature before spraying, since coatings cure slowly in the cold.
At booking time, mention every room with cabinetry, even the maybes. Pricing them is free, and dropping a line later is easy. Phone +1 (289) 206-9922, list the rooms here, or visit our home page.
Backsplit bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudroom lockers and rec room bars get the coatings we trust in kitchens.
We take your doors and drawer fronts down, clean off the grease, sand them, prime them for their material and spray a hard enamel before hanging them again. Kitchen cabinet painting recolours the entire room while your counters, tile and sink stay untouched.

Dark stain, slab doors with routed grooves and printed wood-grain fronts all accept new colour once the grease and old gloss are gone. On a kitchen this age, cabinet painting is mostly careful prep, and that prep decides how long the finish lasts.

Oak brings two problems to the job that maple and MDF do not. Tannin in the wood stains through water-based primer, and deep grain lines show through cabinet painting unless they are filled flat first.

Some cabinets have wood that deserves to be seen. Refinishing takes the worn finish off, evens out the colour with new stain and seals it with a sprayed clear coat, so the grain stays in view instead of disappearing under paint.

Spraying puts the coating on as a fine mist that levels itself before it dries, so there are no brush lines left behind. With a sprayer, cabinet painting comes out looking like it left a factory, not a hobby bench.

Melamine, laminate and thermofoil are slick by design, so cabinet painting on them depends on a bonding primer built to grip plastic surfaces. Sound doors finish beautifully, while vinyl already curling away from its board is past saving.

With refacing, fresh doors and drawer fronts are hung on your current cabinet boxes and the frames are finished to suit. If just one door is ruined, we swap that one out and spray it with the others during cabinet painting so nobody can tell.

Soft white or greige on top with sage, navy or charcoal below is the combination we are asked about most, and the island usually gets the darker shade. Painting an island by itself also counts as a full cabinet painting job.

A single vanity needs a day or two of our time, which makes it the least disruptive cabinet painting job we offer. Its doors travel to our booth, we spray the base where it sits, and the bathroom is ready again soon after.

Most condo kitchens hold between ten and twenty doors, which means the spraying is quick once building approvals are in place. Cabinet painting in a condo townhouse or apartment runs smoothly only when parking, work hours and smell are planned ahead.

Leftover knob holes get plugged and filled flush, and every new pull is bored through a jig so the whole row sits straight. Tired hinges get replaced during the same window, since cabinet painting already has the doors off.

Meadowvale kitchens we quote mostly end up in one of six shades: sage, greige, cream, warm white, charcoal or navy. A little paper chip under store lights cannot show how any of them behaves in your room, so one of your own doors gets sprayed in the shade you like and propped up in the kitchen before any cabinet painting goes on the calendar.
See Colour ConsultationWe drop by, count doors and drawers, check the wood or board underneath and spell out the work in a written quote. No charge for any of it.
Jot down anything you know about the cupboards, and we will call to choose a day. A name and a number are all it takes. Want to talk right now? Call +1 (289) 206-9922.
