We believe that cabinet refinishing in Calgary requires a methodical approach to ensure the paint sticks and stays smooth. Here is how we do it.
01
We assess the cabinet condition and discuss your goals. We help you choose the right finish level and provide a clear timeline.
02
Your home is respected at all times. We protect counters, appliances, floors, and surrounding walls. The work area is kept clean and organized throughout the project.
03
Kitchens naturally accumulate grease. We use industrial degreasers to remove oils and buildup that cause paint failure. This is a critical step many DIYers miss.
04
Sanding reduces the old texture and improves bonding. We also take this time to repair small dents or wear areas on the doors and drawer fronts.
05
We apply a high-quality bonding primer selected specifically for your cabinet material. This acts as the anchor for the topcoat.
06
We apply multiple coats of cabinet-grade enamel paint. Whether you choose cabinet spray painting or a fine-rolled finish, you get even coverage and superior durability.
07
Once the curing time is complete, we reinstall your hardware, properly align the doors, and perform a final walkthrough to ensure you are 100% satisfied.
Different materials require different prep techniques. We have experience with a wide variety of surfaces.

There are many cabinet painters in Calgary, but not all offer the same level of care and quality.
One of the most common questions we get is regarding cabinet painting cost in Calgary. The investment varies based on a few key factors:
While we cannot give an exact price without seeing your kitchen, we provide transparent, itemized quotes so you know exactly where your budget is going.
With professional prep and high-quality cabinet enamel, a painted finish can last for many years. It is designed to be durable and resistant to standard kitchen wear.
Yes. We use specialized paints that cure to a hard finish. This makes them resistant to moisture, grease, and cleaning, provided you allow the full curing time before heavy use.
We offer both options depending on your budget and the desired look. Cabinet spray painting offers a factory-smooth finish, while fine rolling is also a great option that produces very little texture.
Yes, but they require a specific bonding primer. Our kitchen cabinet refinishing process includes testing the surface to ensure the paint adheres correctly to the laminate.
Most average-sized kitchens take 4 to 7 days to complete, depending on the size and scope of the work.
We typically ask that you empty the drawers and clear the countertops. You generally do not need to empty the cabinet boxes unless we are painting the interior shelves as well.
We use low-VOC, waterborne alkyd or urethane enamels. These products offer the hardness of an oil-based paint with the low odour and easy cleanup of water-based products.
Peeling usually happens due to poor cleaning or a lack of sanding. Our rigorous degreasing and bonding primer processes prevent peeling. Chipping can happen if hit with a hard object, but the paint we use is highly resistant to impact.
Absolutely. We clean the wood, sand it to remove the gloss, and apply a stain-blocking primer to prevent the old wood colour from bleeding through the new paint.
You should wait until the paint has fully cured, which can take up to 30 days, before using heavy cleaners. You can use them gently after the initial drying period.
If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound and you like the layout, painting kitchen cupboards is the most cost-effective choice. A replacement is better if the wood is rotting or if you want to completely change the kitchen layout.
Yes, painting is the perfect way to update the colour. If you want a new style of door entirely, that would be a refacing project, but painting your existing doors is much more affordable.
“Great experience with Steven and his crew. My deck and exterior wood trim on my roof needed new paint and they were friendly, efficient, and very competitive in pricing. Steven was easy to deal with and very responsive in answering any questions I had. I will definitely use them for future painting needs.”
