Compact galley layouts in towers, where elevator bookings, service entrances and corridor odour limits shape the working day as much as the coating schedule does. Fronts go out to the booth, leaving the unit livable right through the cabinet painting.
Apartments are the fastest-growing housing in Burlington by a wide margin, and they cluster downtown around Brant Street, along Plains Road in Aldershot and through the Fairview Street corridor. Those kitchens are small, factory-finished and rarely the colour their current owner would have picked.
Condo Boards Ask For Paperwork Before Anyone Carries A Tool Inside
Written proof of insurance naming the corporation is the usual first request, and it goes to property management ahead of the start date rather than on the morning of it. Insurance sits behind every job here, so this is a form to file rather than a hurdle.
Some buildings also want a work permit, a schedule of hours, or notice posted on the floor. Getting that paperwork moving early belongs in the cabinet painting quote here, because a board that has not been told will stop the job at the loading door and cost a day.
Elevator Windows And Service Entrances Set The Cabinet Painting Day
Most buildings allow moving and trade access in a fixed block, often four hours, booked in advance and sometimes with a deposit. Everything heavy has to move inside that block, which means the racked fronts go down on one booking and come back up on another.
That single constraint is why cabinet painting in a tower is planned backwards from the elevator calendar. Parking is the other one, since a service bay and a loading spot both have to exist before a crew can arrive with equipment. We sort those with management ahead of time.
Shared Corridor Air Is Why Cabinet Painting Is Never Sprayed In A Unit
Doors on a corridor share air, so odour travels to neighbours who did not agree to a renovation. There is no on-site spray booth in any condo job we run, and there never will be.
Fronts are sprayed at the shop. Inside the unit the work is sanding under dust control and a low-odour waterborne coating brushed and rolled onto boxes and frames only. That combination is what makes cabinet painting possible in a building that would otherwise refuse it, and it keeps the unit occupied throughout.
Melamine And Thermofoil Are The Usual Condo Cabinet Substrates
Buildings from the 1970s through the 1990s are full of melamine boxes with melamine or laminate fronts, and 1995 to 2010 units usually hold thermofoil. None of it is wood, so none of it takes a standard wood primer.
A waterborne bonding primer grips all three, provided the surface is intact and properly degreased. A lifting thermofoil skin is a separate matter, set out on the thermofoil, melamine and laminate cabinet painting page, and sometimes the honest answer is new fronts on the existing boxes.
A Small Galley Is Quoted As A Minimum Cabinet Painting Job
Eighteen to thirty pieces is the normal condo count, and the setup costs behave the same as they would in a much larger kitchen. So the price per piece runs higher and the total runs lower, generally $1,800 to $2,800 for a galley layout in this market.
That figure is a range; the written quote is the actual number. Anyone moving from a house into a unit is usually quoting two kitchens at once, which the downsizing cabinet painting page handles directly.

Condo Kitchen Cabinet Painting Questions
What paperwork does the building need?
Usually written proof of insurance naming the corporation, sent to property management ahead of the start date. Some buildings also want a work permit, a schedule of hours or notice posted on the floor. We start that early.
Why is nothing sprayed inside the unit?
Corridors share air, so odour reaches neighbours who did not agree to a renovation. Fronts are sprayed at the shop. Inside the unit the work is sanding under dust control and low-odour waterborne coating on boxes and frames only.
How are elevator bookings handled?
Most buildings allow trade access in a fixed block, often four hours, booked ahead. The racked fronts go down on one booking and return on another. We sort the elevator and the loading spot with management before the start.
