Our Work — Cabinet Painting

A flawless spray finish on your existing cabinets costs a fraction of a kitchen replacement — and looks just as good.

For a fraction of the cost of new cabinets, you get a kitchen that looks completely renovated. Done properly — with the right primer, the right topcoat, and spray application — painted cabinets hold up to daily use and look better than factory finishes on many budget cabinet lines.
At Texora Painting, we treat cabinet painting as a specialty process, not a standard brush-and-roll job. Cabinets are removed, sprayed in a controlled environment, and reinstalled — resulting in a dust-free, brush-mark-free finish that's smooth to the touch. We serve Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, Tsawwassen, Ladner, North Vancouver, Surrey, and Richmond.
The most common question we get is whether painted cabinets chip or peel. The answer is: not if they're done right. We use a catalyzed urethane or waterborne alkyd topcoat specifically formulated for high-traffic cabinet surfaces. Properly prepared and primed, your painted cabinets will outlast a cheap veneer replacement — and look significantly better.
Kitchen cabinets are coated with grease, oils, and residue that prevent paint from bonding. We degrease every surface thoroughly, sand to remove the existing sheen, and apply an adhesion primer before any topcoat. This is non-negotiable for a finish that lasts.
Brushing or rolling cabinet faces leaves visible texture and brush marks. We remove doors and drawer fronts and spray them in a controlled environment. Frames are sprayed or carefully brush-finished with a levelling primer. The result is a factory-smooth finish you'd expect from a custom cabinet shop.
We use waterborne alkyd or catalyzed urethane topcoats — not standard wall latex. These are specifically formulated for cabinetry: harder, more resistant to moisture and grease, and cleanable without marring the finish.
A typical kitchen cabinet paint project takes 3–5 days including removal, spray, cure time, and reinstallation. We work to minimize kitchen downtime and keep you updated throughout.
We visit your home, assess the scope, and provide a detailed written quote — no surprise charges. Most quotes are delivered same or next day.
Not sure on colours? We'll bring swatches, walk you through finishes, and help you choose a palette that works with your lighting and furnishings.
This is the most important step. We patch, sand, fill holes, tape, and prime every surface. Proper prep is what separates a lasting finish from one that chips and peels.
Floors, furniture, and fixtures are fully covered before we open a single can. We treat your home with the same care we'd want in our own.
We apply paint using the right method for each surface — brush, roller, or spray — to achieve an even, professional finish every time.
We leave your home cleaner than we found it. Once complete, we walk through the job with you to make sure you're 100% satisfied before we pack up.
We stand behind our work. If anything needs touching up after we leave, call us and we'll be back — no questions asked.
Cabinet painting in Metro Vancouver typically costs $1,800–$4,500 for a full kitchen depending on the number of doors, drawer fronts, and condition of the surfaces. This compares to $15,000–$40,000+ for new custom cabinets. We provide free detailed quotes based on your specific kitchen.
Not if they're done correctly. The most common cause of cabinet paint failure is skipping prep — inadequate degreasing, no sanding, or using the wrong primer. We use a full prep process and hard-wearing topcoats that are specifically designed for cabinetry. Properly done, painted cabinets last years without chipping.
Any colour — we work with Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Dulux colour systems. Popular choices include classic white (Chantilly Lace, Simply White), warm whites, navy, sage green, greige, and charcoal. We can also match existing colours or custom shades.
We typically paint the exterior faces, frames, and doors. Interior cabinet boxes can be painted on request for an additional cost. Most homeowners opt to paint interiors only if the current finish is peeling or visually mismatched.
We typically have your kitchen functional again within 3–5 days. We phase the work so doors are spraying while frames are curing — minimizing the window where your kitchen is completely out of commission.
Yes — with the right prep and adhesion primer, we can paint laminate, melamine, and thermofoil cabinet surfaces. Adhesion requires more prep but is very achievable. We'll assess your cabinet material during the quote visit.
