Cabinet Painting in Stittsville
Large kitchens with islands and pantries, finished with a sprayed cabinet enamel rather than a brush.
Paint Experts provides professional cabinet painting throughout Stittsville, Ottawa. Stittsville kitchens are among the largest we work on in the city — island, peninsula, tall pantry bank, sometimes a butler's pantry as well — and door count is what actually drives both the price and the schedule.
Why door count matters more than kitchen size
A big Stittsville kitchen is not simply a small kitchen scaled up. Every door and drawer front is an individual item that gets removed, tagged, degreased, sanded, primed twice, sprayed twice and reinstalled, and a kitchen with an island and a pantry bank can easily carry sixty of them. We count doors and drawers at the quote and price from that, because square footage of cabinetry tells you almost nothing about the labour involved.
The spray finish, and what it does that brushing cannot
Sprayed enamel lays down an even film with no stipple, no lap marks and no thick edges. On a large kitchen that consistency is the whole point: with sixty doors in one room, any variation between them is visible because they hang next to each other. Doors are sprayed horizontally in our shop, both faces, in a controlled space, which is the only reliable way to get sixty identical panels rather than fifty-eight good ones.

Large kitchens carry a two-tone scheme better than small ones, because there is enough cabinetry for the second colour to read as a deliberate decision rather than an accident. The usual arrangement is a deeper tone on the island and a lighter perimeter. Practically, an island is also the one component we frequently spray in place rather than removing, since panelled island ends and waterfall returns are attached joinery rather than doors.
Enamel durability in a busy family kitchen
Cabinet-grade enamel is touch-dry within hours and continues hardening for weeks after we leave. During the first fortnight we ask for gentleness — no hard closing, nothing taped to a door, no wet cloths left lying on a surface. After the full cure, the finish takes daily use, including the cupboard beside the range and the drawer above the dishwasher, without marking.
Common questions
How much does cabinet painting cost in Stittsville?
$3,500 to $6,500 for a typical kitchen. Larger kitchens with an island and a pantry bank run $7,000 to $9,000, because the price follows door and drawer count.
Do you spray or brush?
Spray, always. Doors and drawer fronts go to our shop and are sprayed horizontally on both faces; frames are sprayed in place with the room masked and filtered.
How long before I can use the kitchen normally?
Immediately for cooking, but be gentle with the doors for the first two weeks while the enamel finishes hardening.
