Cabinet painting and spraying in Brampton
Brampton is largely newer subdivision housing with square drywall, nine foot ceilings and builder flat paint, plus older and smaller plaster houses downtown and in Bramalea. Oak kitchens from the 1980s and 1990s take paint well once the grain is dealt with, and newer MDF and laminate fronts need the right bonding primer rather than more sanding. Cabinet painting takes every door off, preps it properly and sprays it with a hard waterborne enamel so the kitchen you own looks new.
Concept imageryBrampton, on the ground.
First repaints over builder paint, stair railings and spindles, doors and trim, cabinet refinishing and garage and front doors are the common Brampton jobs. The kitchen is sealed in plastic, doors are removed and sprayed in a dust-controlled setup, boxes are finished in place and everything is rehung and adjusted before the walk-through.
Because most houses in Brampton still wear a single coat of builder flat, the quote nearly always starts with a primer coat before the colour.

No figures published. The drivers, in order.
| Driver | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Number of doors and drawer fronts | Each piece is cleaned, sanded, primed and sprayed on both sides. Thirty fronts is a different job from sixty. |
| Door style | Raised-panel and glazed doors have more edges and profiles to sand and more places for a run to hide than a flat slab. |
| Current finish | Bare or previously painted wood primes easily. Thermofoil, high-gloss laminate and old lacquer need a specific primer and more sanding. |
| Colour and sheen | A dark colour over light cabinets, or a pure white over oak grain, can need an extra coat to cover evenly. |
Island and pantry fronts count the same as any other door. The written quote lists the door count so you can see exactly what the job covers.
Cabinet painting and spraying questions from Brampton
Can you spray cabinets in a Brampton condo?
Yes. The doors are sprayed in a sealed setup with the kitchen tented in plastic, and the boxes are brushed or sprayed depending on the room. We book the elevator and keep to the building's work hours in Brampton.
How many days is my Brampton kitchen out of use?
Usually [n] days from the doors coming off to the last hinge adjustment. You can still use the sink and stove most evenings. The written quote gives the exact schedule for your Brampton kitchen.
Will you paint our garage door and front door?
Yes. Steel garage doors and front doors are washed, scuff-sanded, spot-primed where the factory finish has worn and painted with two coats of an exterior enamel made for metal. A front door in a dark colour on a sunny elevation should be a heat-reflective product so it does not warp. Both are quick jobs that change the look of the house from the street more than anything else outside.
Our house in Brampton is a few years old and still has builder paint. How many coats does a new colour take?
A primer coat plus two finish coats. Builder flat absorbs unevenly, so a colour applied straight over it dries patchy and shows roller marks. The primer is tinted toward the new colour, which also helps a darker shade cover. On a new house with nail pops, those are filled and sanded before the primer so they do not come back through the finish.
