What does cabinet painting cost in Lower Sackville?
Most cabinet painting projects in the Halifax region fall between $1,500 and $5,000. Your price depends on the number of doors and drawer fronts, the state of the current finish, how big a colour change you want and what repairs are needed. New cabinets commonly cost $15,000 to $35,000 or more. We give you a free in-home estimate and a fixed written quote, valid for 30 days.
How long does the work take?
Plan for about 4 to 6 days. Doors and drawer fronts are taken off and finished separately from the boxes, and you can use your kitchen roughly a day after reinstallation. Wait 7 to 10 days before heavy cleaning so the finish can harden. Replacing cabinets typically takes 3 to 6 weeks.
My kitchen dates from the 1970s or 1980s. Is it worth painting the cabinets?
Often, yes. Homes from that period frequently have sturdy cabinet boxes with a finish that has aged badly. If the structure is sound, a new finish is usually far cheaper than replacement and changes the room dramatically. We check the material and condition at your estimate and tell you honestly whether painting makes sense.
Should I paint or refinish?
Painting gives you a new colour under an opaque finish. Refinishing restores solid wood and keeps its natural character. We look at the wood and the existing coating, recommend one route, and explain how the finished cabinets will look, including whether grain will still show.
Will oak grain show through the paint?
Often it will. Oak has a deep, open grain that leaves visible texture unless filled before painting. We go over this at the estimate so you can decide whether to keep the texture or reduce it.
Can you paint laminate or thermofoil?
Sound laminate and melamine can be painted with a bonding primer and the right cabinet coating. Thermofoil that is peeling or lifting cannot hold paint, and we will say so honestly before you pay a deposit.
Do you spray or brush?
We spray with HVLP equipment in a dust-controlled setup, using thin coats over a high-adhesion primer. The result is smoother and more even than brushing or rolling, with no brush marks.
How long will the finish last?
A sprayed finish on properly prepared cabinets generally lasts 5 to 10 years. Kitchens are tough on coatings because of grease, steam and constant use, which is why we put 40 to 50 percent of every project into preparation.
What happens to my hinges and handles?
They are removed and labelled so each door returns to its original spot. You can reuse your hardware or replace it with something new. Tell us what you prefer at the estimate.
What does the 2-year warranty cover?
Qualifying projects include a written two-year workmanship warranty. It does not cover ongoing moisture damage, structural movement, impact damage or failure of an existing underlying coating. Complete terms come with your project documents.
