Stop Googling Kitchen Questions

Real answers from real kitchen transformation experts who've seen it all

Every question you have? We've heard it 1,000 times. And we've got the real answers (not the sales pitch).

Costs & Pricing Questions

Let's talk money. No games, no "it depends" runaround. Here's what kitchen transformations actually cost.

Here's the real deal: cabinet painting runs $3,000-$8,000 for most kitchens in the GTA. Compare that to $25,000-$60,000 for new cabinets.

What affects the price? Number of doors, current condition, and how fancy you want to get. A basic Mississauga kitchen with 20 doors? Around $4,500. Luxury Oakville kitchen with 35 doors and detailed work? Maybe $7,500.

Reality check: You're saving 60-70% vs new cabinets. That's real money back in your pocket.

Smart question. Here's the breakdown:

Cabinet Painting

$3,000 - $8,000

Same doors, new color

Cabinet Refacing

$8,000 - $18,000

New doors, same boxes

Cabinet Refinishing

$4,000 - $12,000

Restore wood beauty

Cabinet refacing gives you a completely new look but costs more. Refinishing brings back wood's natural beauty.

No surprises here. Our quotes include everything: prep work, materials, labor, cleanup. The only extras you might see:

  • Serious damage repair (we'll tell you upfront)
  • Extra coats if you want super-premium finish
  • Rush timeline (if you need it done yesterday)

Most customers pay exactly what we quote. We're not about gotcha pricing - that's not how you build trust in Toronto or anywhere else.

Process & Timeline Questions

How long does it take? What's the process? Here's exactly what happens when you transform your kitchen.

Most cabinet painting projects take 3-5 days. Not weeks. Not months. Days.

Typical Timeline:

  • Day 1: Remove doors, prep work
  • Day 2-3: Prime and paint at our shop
  • Day 4: Install, touch-ups
  • Day 5: Final details, cleanup

Compare that to 2-3 months for a full renovation. You'll be cooking in your "new" kitchen by the weekend.

No mystery here. We do this the right way, every time:

Preparation

  • • Protect your floors and counters
  • • Remove doors and drawers
  • • Clean and degrease everything
  • • Fill holes, sand rough spots

Application

  • • Prime with bonding primer
  • • Spray paint in controlled environment
  • • Multiple thin coats (not one thick coat)
  • • Quality control inspection

The difference between us and DIY? We have the right tools, controlled environment, and experience. Plus, your kitchen isn't turned into a paint booth for weeks.

Mostly, yes. Here's what you can expect:

What stays available:

  • • Your sink and faucet
  • • Countertops (protected but usable)
  • • Appliances (fridge, dishwasher, etc.)
  • • Lower cabinets for storage

What's temporarily unavailable:

  • • Upper cabinet storage
  • • Items stored in removed doors
  • • Some counter space (covered for protection)

Pro tip: We help you plan ahead. Most families order takeout for a few days and call it a mini-vacation from cooking.

Quality & Warranty Questions

How long will it last? What if something goes wrong? Here's what you're really getting.

With professional application and quality materials? 10-15 years easily. Maybe longer.

The key is proper prep work and using the right products. We use high-quality bonding primers and durable topcoats designed for kitchen environments. Not the stuff you buy at Home Depot.

What affects longevity:

  • • Quality of prep work (most important)
  • • Type of primer and paint used
  • • Application method (spray vs brush)
  • • How you treat them (wiping vs scrubbing)

Compare that to 30+ years for quality new cabinets. But at 1/4 the cost, you're still way ahead financially.

2-year warranty on workmanship and materials. That covers:

What's Covered:

  • • Paint peeling or chipping (from adhesion failure)
  • • Color fading or discoloration
  • • Hardware installation issues
  • • Doors not closing properly

What's NOT Covered:

  • • Normal wear and tear
  • • Damage from cleaning products
  • • Scratches from pots and pans
  • • Changes in wood due to humidity

Basically, if our work fails, we fix it free. If you beat it up, that's on you.

Logistics Questions

How does this actually work? Where do you serve? What do you need from me?
