Rental property cabinet painting gives landlords a durable, sprayed, wipe-clean kitchen finish between tenants, priced per unit and scheduled around move-out dates, with hardware and hinge fixes done at the same visit.
Western and Fanshawe fill London with rental housing, and the leases in Old North, Broughdale, the streets off Oxford Street East near Fanshawe and the south end all turn over in May and August. A kitchen that looks tired at a showing costs rent. A kitchen with peeling paint costs more. Units in condo buildings follow the condo kitchen page as well.
Tenants do not treat a kitchen gently. Pots hit the doors, the cutlery drawer is opened a hundred times a day, the sink base gets wet, and cleaning is done with whatever is under the sink. A rental kitchen needs a finish tougher than an owner's, never softer. That means a two-part polyurethane topcoat, which hardens in a day and resists cleaners and scuffs better than any other cabinet painting product, over whichever primer the substrate calls for.
Colour is simple. A warm white or a light greige in satin photographs well for listings, hides small marks, and matches whatever the next tenant brings. Every unit in a building can be painted the same colour, which makes touch-ups and future cabinet painting simpler.
The rental stock around Western and Fanshawe is mostly two kinds of kitchen. The 1960s to 1980s houses of Old North and Broughdale carry golden oak or birch, which calls for a shellac primer against tannin bleed and a light sanding to key the surface. The 1970s to 1990s low-rise buildings and townhouses near Fanshawe and in the south end carry melamine, which needs a bonding primer that grips its plastic face.
The oak page and the melamine and thermofoil page go into each in more depth. For a landlord, the point is that rental property cabinet painting handles either kind without replacing anything.
A rental kitchen is a two-day job in the unit with the doors off at the booth between, and it fits into the gap between one lease ending and the next beginning. May and August book up early, so the visit and the quote happen in March or June, and the dates are held. Where a building has several units turning over in the same week, the doors from all of them go to the booth together and the on-site spraying moves unit to unit.
Pricing is per unit, with the door and drawer count, substrate, primer, product and hardware work listed. Ontario market ranges for a small galley kitchen start around $1,500 and most kitchens run $2,500 to $5,500. Those figures describe the market. The written per-unit quote is the number a landlord can budget against, and a multi-unit schedule is priced as one document.
A rental kitchen usually has a drawer front that has come loose, a hinge that has stripped its screws, and a missing knob or two. Those are fixed on the same visit: stripped screw holes are plugged and re-drilled, tired hinges give way to soft-close ones that end the slamming, and mismatched knobs are replaced with one set of matching pulls. It is one line on the rental property cabinet painting quote and it saves a second contractor.

Whatever the cabinet, vanity, pantry, island or built-in, the prep, primer and sprayed enamel match what the kitchen received.
Kitchen cabinet painting keeps the kitchen you have: doors, drawer fronts and boxes are each prepped to suit their material, then sprayed with a hard enamel in a fresh colour, for far less than replacing anything.
See Kitchen Cabinets
A spray gun lays hard enamel onto cabinet doors in thin, even passes that a brush cannot match, leaving a factory-smooth surface with no ridges, stroke marks or drips where grease can gather or chips can start.

Refinishing suits cabinets built from wood too good to hide. Stripping or sanding removes the tired old finish, a new stain goes on if a different colour is wanted, and a hard clear coat locks the grain in.

Golden oak from the 1980s becomes a current painted kitchen through oak cabinet painting: tannins get sealed under a shellac primer, the open grain gets filled or stays on show, and a hard sprayed enamel goes over top.
See Oak Cabinets
Slick factory surfaces such as thermofoil, melamine and laminate shed ordinary paint, so this kind of cabinet painting starts with an adhesion primer that grips them, followed by a sprayed enamel topcoat that holds for years.
See Thermofoil and Melamine
Refacing hangs brand-new doors and drawer fronts on cabinet boxes still worth keeping, or replaces a lone damaged door, after which every piece is sprayed at once so the whole kitchen reads as one matched set.
See Refacing and New Doors
A two-tone kitchen sets a light painted perimeter against an island done in stained wood, charcoal, green or navy, and the island can be done as part of the whole kitchen or sprayed by itself as its own small job.

Condo kitchen cabinet painting suits a galley with somewhere between ten and fifteen doors, respects the building's rules on hours, elevators and parking, and sends the doors away to the booth so the suite remains livable while the work is done.

Painting a bathroom vanity takes a day or two: its doors, drawer fronts and box get the full kitchen prep and a sprayed enamel that tolerates steam, at a fraction of a kitchen's size and price.
See Bathroom Vanities
Tall pantries, laundry and mudroom cabinets, wall units, bookcases and fireplace mantels are built into the house, so instead of going to a booth they get sprayed in position behind sealed plastic, using the same hard enamel a kitchen gets.
See Pantries and Built-Ins
Hardware and hinge work rides along with a painted kitchen: abandoned handle holes get filled and sanded smooth, a drilling template places the new ones, soft-close hinges replace the tired originals, and the metal finish is picked to suit the colour.
See Hardware and Hinges
Colour and sheen get settled before any cabinet painting begins, on full-size sample doors sprayed in the actual product and left standing in the actual kitchen, with the colour matched from whichever paint deck the owner prefers.
