When you hire me, you get me.
A lot of painting companies send a salesperson, then a crew, then maybe a manager. That's not how I work.
When you hire me, I'm the one who shows up, does the prep, sprays the finish, and makes sure it's right.
This may not be the fastest option.
It's not the cheapest option.
But it is the right option!
This IS a good fit if...
You want your cabinets painted by the person you're hiring
You care about prep, durability & finish quality
You want a true cabinet painting specialist
You're willing to wait for the right project opening
You understand this is a premium level of work
FAQ’s
Do you do all the work yourself?
Yes. When you hire me, you get me.
Your project will get my full attention and my full care
I personally handle the cabinet painting work myself. I do not pass the job off to a less experienced crew.
That is one of the main reasons I only take select projects. I want the work to be done the way I would want it done in my own home.
How much does cabinet painting cost?
Most cabinet painting projects I take on range from $4,000–$8,000.
Some smaller projects may be less, and larger or more detailed projects may be more. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen, cabinet condition, wood type, number of doors and drawers, repairs, colours, built-ins, islands, and whether travel is required.
Do you spray or brush and roll?
Doors and drawer fronts are typically sprayed for a smoother finish.
Cabinet frames may be sprayed or painted with a micro fibre roller depending on the project, layout, masking requirements, home setup, and finish goals.
Can hinges and/or pulls be changed?
Yes they can…and I usually recommend changing them.
Changing the hardware will put the finishing touches on a kitchen transformation.
New hardware does add extra work and additional cost but the end result is usually worth it.
Why do cabinet painting prices vary so much?
Cabinets are not all the same.
A small smooth maple kitchen is very different from a large oak kitchen with heavy grain, an island in a second color, built-ins in another room, damaged doors, or a previous failed paint job.
The price depends on the amount of prep, repair, masking, spraying, sanding, and detail work needed to get the right result.
Will be kitchen be usable during the project?
Your kitchen will be disrupted during the project.
Homeowners can still stay in the home, but you should expect limited kitchen access while the work is happening.
I usually recommend setting up a “satellite” kitchen as well as exploring restaurants in the area.
I’ll explain what to expect before the project starts.
Where are you based?
I live in beautiful Qualicum Beach
I now work mostly mid-island from Nanaimo to Courtenay.
I also still do a fair number of projects in Vancouver, Delta and Richmond when the size, schedule, budget, and logistics make sense.
How long does a project take?
Most cabinet painting projects take about a week … depending on the size and complexity of the job.
Larger kitchens, oak grain filling, multiple colours, built-ins, repairs, and travel projects can take longer.
Because I personally do the work myself, the schedule may be different than a large crew. The goal is a careful, high-quality process — not simply rushing through the job as fast as possible.
Do I need to empty my cabinets?
Usually, you do not need to empty every cabinet completely….
But some items in cabinets and all drawers will need to be cleared out.
You will need to clear countertops and remove fragile items.
Before the job starts, I’ll give you specific prep instructions.
