Kitchen cabinet painting is the most cost-effective way to transform your kitchen without a full renovation. At Royal Home Painters, we use professional spray equipment and premium paints from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams to deliver factory-quality finishes on kitchen cabinets across Toronto and the GTA. Most projects are completed in 5-7 business days, with costs typically ranging from $2,900 to $6,500 — saving homeowners 75-85% compared to full cabinet replacement.
Is it time to repaint your kitchen cabinets?
If your kitchen cabinets are structurally solid but look outdated, worn, or just not the colour you want — cabinet painting is almost certainly the right move. It’s the smart middle path between doing nothing and spending $20,000-$40,000 on a full replacement.
Toronto homeowners are increasingly choosing professional cabinet painting because it delivers a dramatic visual transformation while preserving cabinets that still have decades of life left. Whether you have honey oak from the 1990s, dated cherry wood, or thermofoil doors that need freshening — we can make them look brand new.
“Will painted cabinets actually hold up?” Yes — when done properly with the right products and preparation. Our finishes last 10-15 years with normal use. The key is professional surface preparation, proper primers, and cabinet-grade paints applied with spray equipment — not a brush and roller from a weekend DIY project.
How much does kitchen cabinet painting cost in Toronto? (2026)
Most Toronto homeowners invest between $2,900 and $6,500. The final cost depends on kitchen size, number of doors, condition, and colour choice.
| Project type | Cost range | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Small kitchen (15-20 doors) | $2,900 – $3,800 | 4-5 days |
| Medium kitchen (20-30 doors) | $3,800 – $5,200 | 5-6 days |
| Large kitchen (30+ doors) | $5,200 – $6,500+ | 6-7 days |
| Cabinet painting (Average) | $2,900 – $6,500 | 5-7 days |
| Full cabinet replacement (compare) | $20,000 – $40,000+ | 4-8 weeks |
What affects the price: Number of doors, condition of existing finish, grain filling (oak costs more to prep), and whether you want cabinet interiors painted. We provide fixed-price quotes – never hourly.

How we paint your kitchen cabinets
Our 6-step process is what separates a professional result from a DIY attempt.
Consultation
Free on-site assessment, colour guidance, detailed written scope.
Door removal
Careful labeling & removal of doors, drawers, and hardware.
Surface prep
Cleaning, deglossing, sanding, grain filling (oak), priming.
Spray painting
Multiple coats with professional HVLP spray equipment.
Curing
Proper cure time between coats for maximum durability.
Reinstall
Careful reinstallation, new hardware if needed, quality check.
Why spray equipment matters: We use HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure) spray systems — the same technology used in factory cabinet production. This produces a uniformly smooth finish with no brush marks, roller texture, or drips.
What’s included in every cabinet painting project
Why I personally oversee every cabinet project
After painting hundreds of kitchens across the GTA, I can tell you the single biggest mistake homeowners make: choosing a painter who treats cabinets like walls. They’re not. Cabinets take daily abuse — hot steam, grease splatter, constant opening and closing. They need a completely different product, process, and skill set.
Every cabinet project I quote, I’m personally at the home. I check the condition of every door, assess the existing finish, and explain exactly what’s needed. No surprises, no shortcuts.
That’s also why we use Benjamin Moore Advance and Renner Wood Coating — they’re specifically formulated for cabinetry. Regular wall paint on cabinets is a recipe for chipping within 6 months. We’ve seen it dozens of times on repair calls.
