About London Cabinet Painting

A Cabinet Painting Company That Does One Trade Across London And Middlesex County

London Cabinet Painting sprays kitchens, vanities, islands, pantries and built-ins across London, St. Thomas, Strathroy, Komoka, Ilderton, Dorchester, Thorndale, Lucan, Mount Brydges and Arva. Full insurance covers every job we do. Because cabinet painting is our only trade, the talk at the visit is about your oak, your thermofoil or your maple, not about paint in general.

The kitchens set the work. A golden oak kitchen in Oakridge needs a shellac primer and a decision about grain fill. A thermofoil kitchen in Summerside needs a bonding primer and an honest look at the doors beside the range. A cherry kitchen in Masonville may not need cabinet painting at all. Telling those apart before writing the quote is most of the job.

The Cabinet Painting Finish Is Decided In The Prep, Not In The Can

When a cabinet painting job peels off the cutlery drawer inside a year, the cause was almost always there on day one: grease trapped beneath the primer, sanding skipped, a primer wrong for the material, wall paint on a door, or thick coats put to work before curing. Not one of those is visible when the doors are rehung. Every one of them is visible by the second winter.

So each door gets a label, comes off, and meets a solvent degreaser before any sandpaper touches it. Primer follows the material: shellac for oak and cherry, an adhesion primer for laminate, melamine and thermofoil, and a plain bonding coat for maple or previously painted MDF. In the booth the doors receive thin sprayed coats, each one scuffed lightly before the next, and they sit on racks until hard enough to travel. Back in the kitchen, the boxes go through the identical steps inside a plastic enclosure. A two-door vanity and a forty-door kitchen follow the identical routine.

What We Will Say Even When It Costs The Job

If cherry or walnut cabinets deserve refinishing instead of paint, we say so and steer you to refinishing rather than a painting quote. When a thermofoil door is already peeling and paint cannot save it, we say it needs stripping or a new door, as described under refacing and door replacement. When a sink base has swollen, we say the kitchen needs replacing, not painting. And when the golden oak on the oak cabinet painting page looks better with its grain showing than with a day of filler on the bill, we say that too. A cabinet painting company willing to paint whatever is put in front of it is not the one to let into your kitchen.
