This is absolutely a fantastic and more affordable way to give your cupboards a second life and refresh the entire look and feel of your kitchen. There are a few different factors to keep in mind in terms of spray kitchen cabinets cost, and although it is normally a bit more expensive than painting your cabinets with a brush, the results are awesome and resemble professional factory spraying.

2. What could affect the price of kitchen cabinet painting?

• • Current state of your cabinets and how much work they will require to be able to paint them.

• • How soon you want it done, and how fast you need it done. Consider that if you’re in a rush and your painting company has a busy week they might need to pay for extra hours or even move or cancel a job, and that could increase the price. 

• • Tied to the previous point, if you have a flexible schedule you can take advantage of a low season like the end of winter or the end of summer to get it done probably at a better rate.

• • The size of the job. The more work you give to your painting company, the lower the per-unit cost. How does this make sense? Well, some materials are cheaper by volume but also, moving around less or spending more time at one job decreases all the logistics and prep work. 

• • Number of colours: if you can keep it to 5 colours or under, you will not see a price increase. The reason? there’s less difficulty to do the job and less paint or stain waste.

• • Different types of paint can increase the cost. We use Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore paint so you can rest assured you’re well covered. Nevertheless, if you want something very specific or ultra-premium that can potentially increase the price. 

• • Payment terms i.e. Visa vs e-transfer. A lot of clients like to use their credit cards for many reasons, however, these payments come with a  fee that increases the overall price. 

• • The amount of preparation involved. i.e. isolating to avoid painting undesired areas (i.e removing plants, covering and taping). We normally don’t move your furniture and personal belongings so if you need help with that we can do it but it will add more time to the process and will increase the bill. (TIP: we can help on the spot to move some really large furniture, so don’t get hurt trying to do that and as long as it’s a fast move we’ll just do it for you!) 

• • Heights: we need to bring scaffolding and assembling and disassembling will add time, thus increasing the price.

3. What are some common questions when painting kitchen cabinets?

Will you include the paint, materials and labour?

Yes, we include up to 5 colours of paint, also all the materials to protect and prepare the walls as well as labour are included.

 Do I have to move my own furniture before the painters come?

Usually yes, painters can do it for you but that will add on the hours of your project and it will increase your overall estimate. But!, if there’s any oversized furniture that you cannot move on your own, it’s normally ok to ask them to give you a hand to move it a bit to allow them to paint.
