Cabinet Refinishing

Cabinet refinishing & painting in Calgary.

Love your kitchen again — without the cost of a full remodel. Lady J's specializes in professional cabinet refinishing that gives your kitchen a stunning, factory-smooth finish for a fraction of the price of replacement. Premium cabinet paints, 2K bonding primers and meticulous prep add up to durable results built for Calgary's busiest rooms.

A beautiful kitchen for a fraction of the cost.

Replacing kitchen cabinets is expensive and disruptive — weeks without a working kitchen and a bill that can run into the tens of thousands. Refinishing gives you the same dramatic transformation — a fresh colour, a flawless finish, and a whole new feel — at a fraction of the price, and usually in a matter of days rather than weeks.

Whether your cabinets are stained wood or previously painted, our team can bring them back to life with a finish that looks brand new — the hallmark of our cabinet refinishing services in Calgary. If your boxes are solid, refinishing the doors, frames and drawer fronts is almost always the smarter investment.

Our approach

Our cabinet refinishing process.

01

Expert preparation

Every door comes off and is labelled. We degrease, clean and scuff-sand every surface so the finish bonds properly and lasts — no peeling, no shortcuts.

02

2K primers for lasting adhesion

We apply professional-grade 2K primers on all pre-painted and stained surfaces, creating a rock-solid foundation — the step most general painters skip and the reason so many DIY cabinet jobs chip within a year.

03

Premium cabinet paints, sprayed

We spray only the finest cabinet-grade paints, engineered for high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms, for a smooth, brush-mark-free finish that looks stunning for years.

Why Lady J's

Why choose Lady J's Painting & Decorating for cabinet refinishing.

Cabinet refinishing is the hardest kind of painting to do well — it's furniture-grade work happening in the busiest room of your house. Most general painters skip the 2K bonding primers and shortcut the degreasing step, which is why so many refinished kitchens start chipping around the sink and handles inside a year. We don't. Every door comes off, every frame is scuff-sanded and TSP-cleaned, and every coat is sprayed for a finish you can't get with a brush.

You also get an honest conversation up front about which cabinets are worth refinishing. If your boxes are failing or the doors are past saving, we'll tell you — that trust is why Calgary homeowners keep sending us to their friends' kitchens.

FAQ

Cabinet refinishing FAQs

How much does it cost to refinish kitchen cabinets in Calgary?+
Refinishing typically costs a fraction of replacement — the exact price depends on the number of doors and drawers, the current finish, and whether you're changing colour. We'll give you a clear quote after seeing the kitchen. Call (587) 832-6322 for a free estimate.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?+
Most kitchens are done in several days rather than the weeks a full replacement takes. Doors are removed, sprayed and cured off-site or in a controlled area, then reinstalled — we'll give you a firm timeline with your quote.
Will the paint chip or peel over time?+
Not when it's done right. Our combination of thorough degreasing, scuff-sanding and 2K bonding primers is exactly what prevents the chipping you see on DIY and shortcut jobs, especially around the sink and handles.
Can you refinish stained wood cabinets, not just painted ones?+
Yes — stained wood, previously painted, thermofoil and MDF doors can all be refinished with the right prep and primer system. We assess your specific cabinets before quoting.
Do I have to be without my kitchen the whole time?+
Only briefly. Because we remove the doors and drawer fronts to spray them, your cabinet boxes stay in place and usable for most of the project. We'll walk you through what to expect day by day.
