Compared with typical replacement
Choose this when you want a new colour. We apply an opaque, sprayed finish that works on laminate, MDF, veneer and wood, so you can move from honey oak to crisp white, soft grey, deep green or anything else you like.
Typical Halifax kitchen: $1,500 to $5,000
Choose this when your cabinets are solid wood and you want to keep their natural look. We inspect the wood and the existing coating first, then explain what the finished result will look like and whether the grain will stay visible.
Priced after your in-home estimate
Painting usually costs $1,500 to $5,000. New cabinets often cost $15,000 to $35,000 or more.
Doors and drawer fronts are finished separately, and you can use the kitchen about a day after reinstallation.
Plumbing, counters and walls stay exactly where they are. Only the finish changes.
The solid cabinets in many 1970s and 1980s Cole Harbour homes deserve to be kept, not hauled away.
Reusing what you have means no pile of old doors and boxes headed for the landfill.
Cole Harbour faces the Atlantic, and humidity plus kitchen steam test every finish. We prime for adhesion and use tough coatings.
Every kitchen, whether a compact galley or a large open plan, follows the same six steps.
We visit, look closely at your cabinets, talk through your goals and help you settle on a colour. It costs nothing.
You get a written quote covering labour, materials and prep, valid for 30 days, along with a schedule.
We take down and label doors, drawers and hardware, then cover floors, counters and appliances.
Degreasing, repairs, sanding and a high-adhesion primer prepare the surface so the finish bonds properly.
Thin, even coats go on with HVLP equipment in a dust-controlled setup for a smooth, factory-like result.
Everything goes back in place. We inspect the work with you, touch up as needed and clean up fully.
We choose the product to suit your cabinet material and how hard your kitchen works. We use low-VOC options, and zero-VOC choices are available for sensitive individuals and families with young children.
With good prep, a sprayed finish commonly lasts 5 to 10 years. We work on solid wood, MDF, veneer and sound laminate. Peeling thermofoil cannot be painted successfully, and we will tell you that before you pay a deposit.
You work with the same local team from the first visit to the final walkthrough. Before you pay a deposit, we give you an honest assessment of whether your cabinets are good candidates. If they are not, we say so.
Your fixed written quote lists labour, materials and prep. No hourly billing, no surprise fees.

What will cabinet painting cost me in Cole Harbour?
Most cabinet painting jobs in the Halifax area land between $1,500 and $5,000. Where yours falls depends on how many doors and drawer fronts you have, what shape the existing finish is in, how dramatic the colour change is and what repairs are needed. For comparison, new cabinets commonly run $15,000 to $35,000 or more. After a free visit we give you a fixed written quote, good for 30 days, so there are no surprises.
How long will my kitchen be out of action?
Plan on roughly 4 to 6 days from start to finish. Doors and drawer fronts come off and are finished separately from the boxes, and you can use your kitchen about a day after everything is reinstalled. Give the finish 7 to 10 days before any heavy scrubbing so it can harden fully. A full replacement, by contrast, often takes 3 to 6 weeks.
Should I paint my cabinets or refinish them?
Painting gives you a new colour with an opaque finish. Refinishing restores solid wood and lets its natural character show. At your estimate we look at the wood, the current coating and the look you want, then tell you which route makes sense and what to expect, including whether grain will remain visible.
Will the wood grain show through paint?
On open-grained woods such as oak, some texture usually remains unless the grain is filled first. Some people like that look and some do not. We talk it through during the estimate so you can choose the result you want before any work starts.
Can laminate or thermofoil cabinets be painted?
Sound laminate and melamine can be painted using a bonding primer and the right cabinet coating. Thermofoil that is peeling or lifting cannot hold paint, and we will say so plainly before you commit to anything.
Why spray instead of brush?
Spraying lays down thin, even coats with no brush marks or roller texture. We use HVLP equipment in a dust-controlled setup over a high-adhesion primer, which gives a smoother, harder-wearing surface than you can get by hand.
How long should the new finish last?
A sprayed finish over properly prepared cabinets typically holds up for 5 to 10 years. Cooking grease, steam and heavy daily use are tough on any kitchen, which is why degreasing and sanding take so much of our time.
What does prep involve?
We remove and label every door, drawer and piece of hardware, then cover floors, counters and appliances. Next come degreasing, repairs, sanding and priming. Across all our projects, 40 to 50 percent of the time goes into preparation, because that is what decides how long a finish lasts.
What happens to my hinges and pulls?
They come off during the job and we label them so every door goes back where it started. You can reuse your hardware or switch to something new. Raise it at your estimate and we will plan around it.
What does the 2-year warranty include?
Qualifying projects carry a written two-year workmanship warranty. Ongoing moisture damage, structural movement, impact damage and failure of an existing underlying coating are not covered. Complete terms come with your project documents.
