Built-In Cabinet Painting Is Done In The House
Wall-to-wall bookcases, fireplace surrounds and mudroom benches with lockers are fixed to the house, so their cabinet painting happens where they stand. Doors and removable shelves still go to the booth.
Containment makes this work. Plastic sealed from floor to ceiling, covered floors along the path, fans pulling air outside and masked nearby rooms keep the spray inside the work area.
They match the kitchen because nothing changes between rooms, from primer to enamel to coat count, as spraying cabinets explains.
Laundry Rooms And Mudrooms Take Harder Wear Than Kitchens
Washers and dryers keep laundry rooms damp, and entry lockers take boots, wet coats and hard knocks. Both take more abuse than most kitchen cabinets.
Those rooms call for the tougher coating. Two-part polyurethane earns its extra cost on a mudroom bench, while a den bookcase can do fine with enamel. Lower edges and toe kicks see the most water and grit, so cabinet painting in these rooms coats them completely, including the parts you do not see.
Where Don Mills Houses Keep These Cabinets
Backsplits and side-splits in Don Mills and Parkwoods often have a lower-level family room with built-in shelves or a wall unit, plus a laundry room close by. The original ones were usually built with the house, so they share the same plywood and the same style as the first kitchen.
Bigger Banbury-Don Mills houses commonly add a walk-in pantry, a laundry off the kitchen and a basement bar. Newer rebuilds carry a full pantry wall and a mudroom off the garage. Grouping those rooms into one cabinet painting booking cuts cost, since the equipment only comes in once.
Pull-Out Pantries And Spice Cabinets Need Careful Removal
Narrow pull-out pantries and spice racks run on full-extension slides. The fronts are taken off the slides, numbered and sprayed in the booth, while the slides and baskets are masked or removed.
When the fronts come back, the slides are adjusted so each pull-out closes flush with the drawers beside it. Tired slides can be swapped at the same time, as hinges and hardware describes.
Tall pantry doors need extra care in cabinet painting. A door that runs floor to ceiling can twist a little if it is sprayed on one side and left to dry unevenly. We coat both faces in the same session and let the door dry flat, so it hangs straight when it comes back. The same care goes into every tall door in a cabinet painting job.
Bundling Rooms Lowers The Cost Per Cabinet
One booking means one charge for travel, masking and setup. Laundry cabinets added to a kitchen job cost clearly less than the same cabinets booked on their own later on.
Kitchen, pantry, laundry and a vanity together is a common booking here, and the vanity side is explained under bathroom vanity painting. Every room is priced separately on the quote, so the cabinet painting cost of each one is easy to see.
