    Kitchen Cabinet Painting and Refinishing in Winnipeg

    A sprayed, factory-quality cabinet finish at a fraction of replacement cost. And because you shouldn't need to sit through a sales pitch to learn what a kitchen costs, our pricing system is published below.

    Scope of work

    What's included

    One colour, complete

    One colour of your choice on doors, drawer fronts, boxes, and frames. All materials included in the price.

    Clean & degrease

    Kitchen grease is the enemy of adhesion. Every surface is cleaned and degreased before sandpaper ever touches it.

    Dust-extraction sanding

    Sanders hooked to extraction keep dust out of your home while giving the primer a surface it can grip.

    BIN shellac-based primer

    Blocks stains and tannin bleed and bonds to slick factory finishes, the primer cabinet-grade work demands.

    Sherwin-Williams Gallery Series finish

    A professional cabinet coating sprayed for a smooth, durable, factory-style finish.

    On-site spray area

    Doors and drawer fronts sprayed on-site in a dedicated spray area with drying racks and ventilation.

    Straight answers

    Cabinet Painting & Refinishing FAQ

    Our pricing is simple: $85 per door and $65 per drawer, with a $3,250 minimum job. That includes one colour, standard box and frame refinishing, your existing hinges and hardware hole locations, and all materials. A small kitchen typically runs $3,250-$3,750; an average kitchen $3,800-$4,500; large kitchens $4,750-$5,750; and very large or highly detailed kitchens $6,000+.

    Most kitchens are finished within about a week, depending on the number of doors and drawers and the add-ons involved. You'll get an exact schedule with your written quote.

    Not if the prep is done right, and prep is the whole system. Degreasing, dust-extraction sanding, BIN shellac primer, and a sprayed Sherwin-Williams Gallery Series topcoat produce a hard, durable finish made specifically for cabinets. Every job carries our 1-year workmanship warranty.

    If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, refinishing delivers a new-kitchen look for a fraction of replacement cost, and in far less time, with no demolition. If your boxes are failing, we will tell you honestly that refinishing is not the right call.

    Yes. Oak grain filling is one of our common add-ons: we fill the open grain before priming for a smooth, modern finish. Prefer to keep some texture? We can spray directly over the grain instead.
