Technical Specification & Engineering
Factory-Grade Finishes for Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinets
Cabinet doors and drawer fronts endure constant cooking grease, moisture contact, and repeated handling—requiring rigorous de-contamination and specialized cabinet enamels.
Refinishing kitchen cabinets transforms the aesthetic of a home at a fraction of full replacement cost. However, kitchen cabinetry represents the most demanding substrate in a home: years of aerosolized cooking oils, moisture steam, and skin contact create invisible grease films that cause standard paint to peel rapidly.
Proper refinishing begins with systematic hardware removal and thorough degreasing of all doors, drawer fronts, and cabinet face frames. Once clean, surfaces are sanded to break existing factory clears or varnishes, and open grain in oak or ash is evaluated for pore-filling primers to achieve smooth modern profiles.
Topcoat application requires specialized cabinet-grade coatings that cure into an ultra-smooth, hard surface. When properly cured, cabinet enamels resist chipping along door edges, withstand regular detergent wipedowns, and do not yellow over time.

Bonding & Stain-Blocking Primer Application
An adhesion primer is applied to seal raw wood tannins, block grain bleed, and provide a uniform foundation for the topcoat.

Even Enamel Finish & Precision Reassembly
Multi-coat cabinet enamel is applied to achieve a smooth, ridge-free surface. Once cured, doors are aligned, rehung, and inspected for seamless operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about cabinet refinishing & painting in Calgary.
Do you offer free painting estimates in Calgary?
Yes, we provide fast, no-obligation quotes for all residential and commercial projects in Calgary and surrounding areas.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Brixel Painting is fully licensed, insured (comprehensive liability), and WCB covered to ensure peace of mind for our clients.
What is your workmanship warranty?
We stand by our work with a comprehensive 2-year workmanship warranty on all painting projects.
How is paint on kitchen cabinet doors protected from chipping around the handles?
Edge durability depends on thorough degreasing, high-adhesion bonding primers, and using specialized cabinet enamel coatings rather than standard latex paint. Cabinet coatings cure into a rigid, non-tacky film that resists impact and friction.
Can dark-stained oak cabinets with heavy grain be finished smooth?
Yes. Oak features open grain pores that can either be highlighted with an authentic painted wood texture or filled with specialized grain fillers and high-build primers before painting to create a flat look.
Is door removal recommended during the cabinet painting process?
Yes. Removing doors and drawer fronts ensures that all six sides and delicate edges receive complete, uniform coverage without runs, drips, or painted-over hinges.
