Kitchens, islands, vanities and built-ins in houses, condos and cottages across Barrie, Innisfil, Springwater, Essa and Oro-Medonte get sprayed, refinished or refaced by Barrie Cabinet Painting. Insurance covers every job we take on. Cabinet painting is our only trade, so we can speak to a particular oak kitchen in Letitia Heights or a thermofoil galley off Mapleview Drive instead of talking about paint generally.
The houses decide the work. A 1970s walnut kitchen in Allandale, 1990s honey oak in Painswick North, 2005 thermofoil in Holly and a pine cottage kitchen on Lake Simcoe each call for their own primer, their own amount of prep and now and then a different answer entirely. Telling them apart is most of what we do.
Paint peels off cabinets for a handful of reasons: grease left behind, no sanding, a primer that did not suit the material, or a heavy coat that never cured. So each door and drawer front comes down and gets tagged. Kitchen wax gets cut with a strong cleaner, surfaces get sanded dull, and the primer follows the material: shellac for oak and cherry, bonding primer for melamine and thermofoil, cabinet primer for maple and MDF.
Topcoat is waterborne alkyd enamel or 2K polyurethane, sprayed thin in two or three passes with a scuff sand between. Doors travel to the booth while boxes get sprayed in place inside sealed plastic. Why that beats a brush is on the cabinet spray painting page, and each kind of cabinet painting work we do is listed on the services page.
One number for a whole kitchen compares with nothing and invites extras once work begins. Our quote counts doors, drawers, boxes and end panels, records the material, notes whether grain fill or bonding primer is needed, names which primer and which topcoat family, states sheen, coat count and hardware work, and prices each part. Islands, pantries and vanities each get a separate line that can be added or dropped.
The visit that produces it is free and takes about half an hour. The kitchen cabinet painting page shows what a full quote covers.
We say when thermofoil has peeled too far for paint and the door needs replacing. We say when cherry or walnut would look better refinished, and send people to the cabinet refinishing page. We say when boxes have swollen from a leak and no paint will save them. We say when a chip that looks perfect will read yellow beside the counter, and spray a sample door to show it. Painting whatever a customer points at is taking orders; a cabinet painting company owes its customers advice.
Doors go back on once the finish can take handling, and the job ends only when the cure does. Our written care notes cover that first month: soft cloths, nothing abrasive, nothing hung on the doors, and gentle treatment around the cutlery drawer and handles where wear runs highest. A written workmanship warranty backs the work. Kitchens we see most are covered under oak cabinet painting, and the ones needing the most planning are on the cottage kitchen page.

Kitchen cabinet painting starts with the doors, the drawer fronts and the boxes already in the house, cuts the grease and old sheen off them, primes each for its material and sprays on a new colour that cures hard enough for everyday use.

Tannins in golden oak get sealed under shellac before anything else happens. Filler then closes the open pores until they disappear, and sprayed colour finishes doors that were solid all along. Oak cabinet painting suits them well.

Cabinet spray painting is sprayed cabinet painting: primer and topcoat go on as a fine mist in thin, even passes, so doors and boxes finish with a smooth, level film free of brush ridges, roller stipple and thick edges that chip.
See Spray Painting
Thermofoil, melamine and laminate doors take paint only over a bonding primer made to grip slick factory surfaces, followed by a sprayed topcoat, which lets doors that would otherwise shed ordinary paint within months hold a new finish instead.

Two-tone work puts one colour on the perimeter cabinets and another on the island or lower run, giving a plain kitchen depth and a focal point without buying a single new cabinet.

Cabinet refinishing leaves the wood on display: the worn finish gets stripped or sanded away, fresh stain goes on where the colour is shifting, and instead of paint the doors get sealed beneath a sprayed clear coat.
See Refinishing
Refacing means fresh doors and drawer fronts hung on boxes worth keeping, while a single damaged door simply gets swapped for a new one; old and new then pass through one booth together so nothing looks different.

Cottage kitchen cabinet painting deals with knotty pine that bleeds through paint, small kitchens that need to stay usable, and buildings that are cold and closed for half the year, by using shellac primer and timing the work for the warm months.
See Cottage Kitchens
Hardware and hinge work fills old handle holes, drills fresh ones on a template once the finish has cured, and swaps tired self-closing hinges for soft-close ones, so new pulls and quiet doors arrive with the new colour.

Bathroom vanity painting brings the kitchen routine of degreasing, priming and a sprayed topcoat to the small cabinet under the sink, over one or two days, paying extra attention to the doors that sit closest to the water.
See Bathroom Vanities
Pantry, laundry and built-in work covers cabinetry that cannot travel to a booth, from walk-in pantries and laundry or mudroom runs to fireplace wall units, mantels and bookcases, every piece sprayed in place inside a sealed enclosure.
See Pantries and Built-Ins
Small galleys, building rules, elevator bookings and parking are what condo kitchen cabinet painting has to manage, so doors go out for spraying and the unit stays livable while the boxes take a day or two.
See Condo Kitchens
A cabinet colour consultation fixes the colour and sheen ahead of cabinet painting by spraying one of your own doors in the real product and leaving it in the kitchen, so the decision gets made under the room's own light.
See Colour ConsultationTell us about the kitchen in whatever detail you have and a call follows to arrange the visit. The form goes through as soon as it has your name and a phone number on it. When a call is simpler, dial +1 (705) 230-7220.
