Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Calgary, Edmonton & Grande Prairie

Before our painting team arrives to work on your kitchen cabinets, we kindly ask that you clear out all items from inside the cabinets. It's best to store these items safely away from the area where we'll be working. This preparation helps ensure a smooth and efficient painting process.

There's no need for you to remove the doors or drawers. Our skilled team will carefully detach the doors and any hardware as needed during the painting project. We handle all aspects of the preparation to ensure a professional finish

For kitchen cabinet painting, we generally recommend choosing either a polyurethane enamel like Sherwin-Williams Emerald or Benjamin Moore Command. For an even more durable finish, choose a waterborne cabinet lacquer like Renner or Envirolak. Our refinishing service offers both these levels of finish.

When professionally prepared and sprayed with a high-quality cabinet coating, painted cabinets can last 10 years or more before requiring refinishing. The key is proper preparation. At Mill Creek Painters, we degrease, sand, prime, and spray multiple coats of durable waterborne lacquer designed specifically for cabinets. This creates a smooth, factory-like finish that stands up to daily use.
