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.
Rental Cabinet Painting Is A Durability Job Before It Is A Colour Job
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.
Student Houses Are Melamine And Oak, And Both Paint
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.
Scheduled Around Move-Out And Priced Per Unit
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.
Hardware, Hinges And Small Repairs At The Same Cabinet Painting Visit
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.

Rental Property Cabinet Painting Questions
Can several units be done in the same week?
Yes. When a building has units turning over together, the doors from all of them go to the booth in one load and the on-site spraying moves from unit to unit. A multi-unit schedule is priced as one written document, with each unit on its own line.
What topcoat suits a rental kitchen?
A two-part polyurethane. It hardens in a day and resists cleaners and scuffs better than other products. A warm white or light greige in satin hides small marks, photographs well for listings, and can be repeated in every unit to keep touch-ups simple.
How long does a rental kitchen take?
About two days in the unit, with the doors at the booth in between. That fits into the gap between leases. May and August book up early, so the visit and quote usually happen in March or June, and the dates are held.
