Kitchen Cabinet Painting & Refinishing in Bedford

Good Cabinets Don’t Need Replacing, They Need a Better Finish

Most Bedford kitchens have solid cabinet boxes that outlast their finish. Years of cooking grease, steam, hand oils and sunlight leave doors dull, yellowed or chipped, but the cabinetry underneath is often sound.

That is true across Bedford’s housing. Older homes near the Basin and along the Bedford Highway often have sturdy wood cabinets worth keeping. In West Bedford, Bedford South and Larry Uteck, where most homes were built from the 2000s onward, builder-grade cabinets in a dated colour are easy to update with a new finish. In both cases, Ron Cann and his crew bring more than 25 years of hands-on painting experience to the work, and Ron trains every crew member himself.

We spend 40 to 50 percent of every project on preparation. For cabinets, that means degreasing, repairing, sanding and priming before any finish coat, because that is what makes a sprayed finish last.

Why Bedford homeowners choose refinishing over replacement

Built for Halifax Humidity

Bedford sits at the head of Bedford Basin, where humid air and kitchen steam are hard on finishes. We use a high-adhesion primer and durable coatings.

A Fraction of the Cost

Painting typically runs $1,500 to $5,000. Replacing cabinets commonly costs $15,000 to $35,000 or more.

Your Kitchen Stays Usable

Doors and drawer fronts are finished off site or in a protected area. Your kitchen is usable about one day after reinstallation.

Your Layout Stays Put

No moving plumbing, no changing countertops and no reworking walls. Only the finish changes.

Older Homes Keep Character

Solid wood cabinets in older Bedford homes are worth keeping. A new finish preserves what is already good.

Less Waste

Keeping your existing cabinets means no dumpster of old doors and boxes headed to landfill.

Bedford Cabinet Painters You Can Trust

Painters Halifax was great to work with. They came out to give me a quote for painting the exterior of my house and the interior of my garage. I had several questions for them and they were more than happy to answer all of my questions and give me advice. They came out and gave me a quote and did a good job painting the house. They were friendly and professional. I would definitely hire them again.

It is really good to find a painting company that can provide you with excellent service. I really liked the professionalism that the painters had. They were able to provide me with a price estimate the same day I called them. The crew showed up on time and were able to start the project the same day. I am very pleased with the job that was done. I will be calling them for any painting needs I may have in the future.

Great service. I called the next day to ask for an estimate and they were able to come out the same day. They gave me a really great price for the work that needed to be done. I highly recommend them.

Our kitchen needed to be spruced up and what a great job this team did for us. We can’t thank them enough. We couldn’t necessarily afford replacing all of out kitchen cabinets but they showed us a way to just refinish them and save a boat load of money. Thank you.

The coatings we use

We match the product to the cabinet material and how you use your kitchen. All are low-VOC options, and zero-VOC choices are available for sensitive individuals and families with young children.

Benjamin Moore ADVANCE
 Known for a very smooth finish. It has a longer cure time.
Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel
A durable finish with a faster recoat time.
INSL-X Cabinet Coat
Well suited to laminate, melamine and difficult factory finishes.

A sprayed finish on properly prepared cabinets typically lasts 5 to 10 years. We cover solid wood, MDF, veneer and sound laminate. Peeling thermofoil cannot be painted successfully, and we will tell you that before you pay a deposit.

Cabinet work is core not an add-on

Cabinets are a regular part of our work, not a side service. You deal with the same local team from estimate to walkthrough, and we give you an honest assessment of your cabinets before you pay a deposit. If your cabinets are not a good candidate for painting, we will say so.

Your fixed written quote spells out labour, materials and prep. There is no hourly billing and no surprise fees.

Frequently Asked Question

Kitchen cabinet painting in the Bedford  area typically runs from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the number of doors and drawers, the condition of the cabinets, the colour change and the repairs needed. Replacing cabinets commonly costs $15,000 to $35,000 or more. We give you a fixed written quote after a free in-home estimate, so you know exactly what is included. The quote is valid for 30 days.

A typical kitchen takes about 4 to 6 days. Replacement often takes 3 to 6 weeks. Doors and drawer fronts are removed and finished off the cabinet boxes, and your kitchen is usable about one day after reinstallation. We suggest waiting 7 to 10 days before heavy cleaning while the finish hardens.

Painting is a full colour change with an opaque finish. Refinishing restores solid wood cabinets and keeps the natural character of the wood. We assess the existing finish and cabinet material at your estimate, recommend one or the other, and explain what the result will look like, including whether wood grain will remain visible.

It can. Oak has a deep, open grain, and unless it is filled, some texture will remain after painting. We explain this at the estimate so there are no surprises, and we can discuss whether you prefer to keep the grain or minimize it.

Sound laminate and melamine can be painted with a bonding primer and a suitable cabinet coating. Thermofoil that is peeling or lifting cannot be painted successfully, and we will tell you that honestly before you pay a deposit.

We spray with HVLP equipment in a dust-controlled setup, applying thin coats over a high-adhesion primer. Spraying gives a smoother, more even finish than brushing or rolling, with no brush marks.

A sprayed finish on properly prepared cabinets typically lasts 5 to 10 years, depending on use, cleaning habits and the condition of the surface underneath. Kitchens with heavy grease and moisture are harder on finishes, which is why degreasing and prep matter so much.

We remove and label doors, drawers and hardware, protect your floors, counters and appliances, then degrease, repair, sand and prime before any finish coat. Preparation is 40 to 50 percent of every project we do.

Hinges and pulls are removed during the job. You can reuse them, replace them with new hardware, or ask us about options at your estimate. We label everything so doors return to the same position.

Qualifying projects come with a written two-year workmanship warranty. It does not cover ongoing moisture damage, structural movement, impact damage or failure of an existing underlying coating. Full terms are provided with your project documents.
