Cabinet painting and spraying in Etobicoke
Houses take a driveway and a level carry for sprayers and ladders, while Humber Bay condos need a booked elevator and 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. 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 imageryEtobicoke, on the ground.
Etobicoke covers brick Kingsway houses with plaster and heavy original trim, small stucco and siding bungalows near the lake, and new drywall condo suites along Humber Bay. 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. Trim and door enamelling in the older houses, full interior repaints, stucco and siding exteriors by the lake, and condo repaints before move-in.
In Etobicoke the detail that decides the job is often the trim already on the wall, so the quote lists sanding and priming it as its own line.

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 Etobicoke
Can you spray cabinets in a Etobicoke 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 Etobicoke.
How many days is my Etobicoke 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 Etobicoke kitchen.
Can you paint the stucco on our lakeshore bungalow?
Yes. Stucco is pressure-washed, loose material and cracks are repaired with a matching patch, and the surface is primed with a masonry primer before two coats of an elastomeric or acrylic masonry paint. That product stretches with the small movements stucco makes through a Toronto winter. We paint exteriors in the warmer months when the surface and the overnight temperature are both above the paint's limit.
We have wood siding and soffits that are peeling. What does the prep look like?
Peeling wood is scraped back to a sound edge, feather-sanded so the step does not show, and spot-primed with an exterior primer. Bare wood gets a full primer coat. Then two coats of exterior acrylic. Where boards are rotten, we tell you before painting, because paint does not fix a board that needs replacing. The quote lists the scraping and priming so you can see where the hours go.
