Tired of dated kitchen cabinets but not ready for a full renovation? High-quality cabinet painting offers a fast, cost-effective way to modernize your kitchen — and at a fraction of the price of replacing them.
At Quality Coats, we specialize in cabinet painting in Calgary, delivering smooth, factory-quality finishes that give your kitchen a whole new look without the disruption of a full reno. Our team of experienced painters and spray finishers can transform tired wood or laminate cabinets into clean, modern, and durable showpieces.
Why Paint Your Cabinets Instead of Replacing Them?
Cabinet replacement can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars — and often involves weeks of demolition, installation,
and disruption. Cabinet painting, on the other hand, offers:
- A complete visual transformation at a lower cost
- A faster turnaround (usually days, not weeks)
- Minimal disruption to your home
- The ability to change color, sheen, or finish
- Eco-friendly waste reduction by reusing your existing cabinetry
If your cabinet boxes and doors are structurally sound, refinishing them is often the smartest choice — and delivers
exceptional return on investment.
Our Cabinet Painting Services
We offer full-service cabinet refinishing and repainting solutions, with custom options to fit the design, layout,
and condition of your kitchen.
Our Services Include:
- Cabinet door and drawer removal
- Degreasing, cleaning, and surface prep
- Sanding and scuffing to create paint adhesion
- Professional spraying of doors and drawer fronts
- Brush/roll or spray application to cabinet frames
- Primer and multiple coats of high-durability paint
- Reinstallation of doors and hardware
- Optional soft-close hinge upgrades or hardware replacements
We use only premium paints and industrial-grade coatings to ensure a smooth finish that resists chips,
moisture, and kitchen wear and tear.
Cabinet Painting vs. Cabinet Refacing — What’s the Difference?
Some Calgary homeowners hear about cabinet “refacing” and wonder how it differs from painting. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Cabinet Painting
- Your existing doors and frames are cleaned, prepped, and painted
- No new materials added
- Budget-friendly, fast turnaround
- Works for wood, MDF, and laminate surfaces
Cabinet Refacing
- Doors are replaced with new ones
- Veneers are applied to frames
- Typically more expensive and time-consuming
- Better suited if your doors are damaged or outdated in shape
We’re happy to assess your kitchen and advise on which option makes the most sense for your goals and budget.
Our Process: How We Paint Kitchen Cabinets
At Quality Coats, our process is carefully designed to minimize mess, maximize durability,
and give you the best possible finish.
1. In-Home Consultation
We begin with an inspection of your kitchen. We’ll assess cabinet material, recommend colors and sheens,
and provide a detailed quote with no surprises.
2. Preparation & Protection
Cabinet doors and drawers are removed and labeled. We mask off floors, countertops, appliances,
and surrounding surfaces to protect your kitchen from overspray or drips.
3. Cleaning & Sanding
All surfaces are degreased, cleaned, and sanded to remove old finishes and ensure proper adhesion.
4. Priming & Painting
We apply high-bonding primers followed by multiple coats of specialty cabinet-grade paint,
using professional sprayers for a smooth, factory-like finish.
5. Reassembly & Final Touches
Doors and drawers are reinstalled, hardware is reattached or upgraded,
and we walk through the final product with you to ensure it meets your expectations.
What Surfaces Can Be Painted?
We can refinish a wide range of kitchen cabinet materials, including:
- Wood (oak, maple, cherry, birch)
- MDF (medium-density fiberboard)
- Laminate (with special bonding primer)
- Painted or previously stained surfaces
Not sure if your cabinets are paintable? We’ll assess them and give honest guidance on the best approach.
Color & Finish Options
We offer a wide variety of finishes and colors — from timeless whites and warm neutrals to bold statement colors like navy, black, or sage green.
Popular options include:
- Matte, satin, and semi-gloss finishes
- Colour matching to Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, or Farrow & Ball
- Two-tone upper and lower cabinet styles
- Accent islands or glass cabinet inlays
We’ll work with your vision or help guide you with professional color consultations.
