Cabinet painting and spraying in Burlington
Cabinet painting takes every door off, preps it properly and sprays it with a hard waterborne enamel so the kitchen you own looks new. Burlington holds postwar and older houses in Aldershot and the lakeside neighbourhoods, many being opened up, alongside downtown condos with concrete ceilings and drywall on steel stud. 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.
Concept imageryBurlington, on the ground.
House installs load from the driveway, while condo work runs through a booked service elevator inside the building's working hours. 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.
Condo suites in Burlington often have bare concrete ceilings, so they are primed with a bonding product and rolled flat in one direction rather than treated like drywall.

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 Burlington
Can you spray cabinets in a Burlington 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 Burlington.
How many days is my Burlington 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 Burlington kitchen.
The ceilings in our downtown Burlington condo are exposed concrete. Can they be painted to look even?
Yes, within what concrete allows. The crew fills the worst voids and form marks, primes the ceiling with a bonding primer made for concrete, and rolls two coats of flat ceiling paint in a single direction so the texture reads even. Some form lines will still show, which many owners like. If you want a perfectly smooth ceiling, that is a drywall job rather than a paint job, and we say so.
We took a wall out in our Aldershot house. Can you make the patch disappear?
Yes. The drywall patch where the wall stood is taped, skimmed in two or three coats, sanded and primed so it matches the texture of the old wall beside it, and the ceiling seam is treated the same way. Then the whole wall and ceiling are painted corner to corner rather than just the patch, because a painted patch always shows in side light. This is standard work in a house being opened up.
