Cabinet painting and spraying in King
King runs to estate lots, rebuilt farmhouses and large houses on acreage, with tall drywall rooms, heavy millwork and stucco, stone and painted wood exteriors. 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 imageryKing, on the ground.
Whole-house interiors with sprayed millwork, three-storey exteriors, shutters and garage doors, and cabinet refinishing make up most of the King work. 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.
Rural addresses in King are booked as consecutive full days with the same crew, because the drive makes half days a waste of your time and ours.

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 King
Can you spray cabinets in a King 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 King.
How many days is my King 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 King kitchen.
How long is the crew on site for a whole-house repaint on an estate lot?
Long enough to finish without coming and going. We book King jobs as consecutive days with the same crew, work floor by floor so you always have finished rooms, and set up a sealed area for spraying trim and doors that stays in place until the trim is done. [John confirms the number of days once the room list is final.] A gate code and a site contact are confirmed the day before we arrive.
Can you paint our shutters and garage doors to match a new trim colour?
Yes. Wood or composite shutters come off, are washed, sanded, primed where bare and sprayed with two coats of exterior enamel, then rehung. Steel garage doors are washed, scuff-sanded and sprayed or rolled in place with the surround masked. Both are small jobs on their own and are usually done alongside the trim so the colours are mixed from the same batch.
