Had a great experience with NorthCo! It was great having different people help along the way while still all talking to each other. From Alex coming by the house with samples of what I’d be getting, to the designer (can’t remember her name but was amazing) helping with getting the perfect colours, to Jean-Maxime helping me out with all the details during installation. Had a few small issues (minor, but my attention to detail is annoying haha) and they were super responsive and a pleasure to work with. In the end I pretty much have a new kitchen and the price was reasonable. Great quality work, highly recommend. In fact my parents will likely be going through them for a kitchen facelift!

NorthCo gave our 20+ year old kitchen a beautiful face lift. Our experience with the NorthCo team was seamless. We met with designer, Reem, who was extremely helpful with assisting us in paint colour and countertop choices. J. Max project managed our reno and was always quick to respond to all of our questions. The dismantling of our kitchen, painting the cupboard doors/wood surfaces and countertop installation was completed from start to finish in 2 weeks as promised. Thank you to all involved in giving our kitchen a beautiful refresh. Cheers, Glen and Tracey

My experience with Northco Services has been most gratifying, from the design team to the trades people. Jean-Maxine was the project Manager who was always available to address any questions I had and the entire team was totally professional, considerate, competent and friendly. I highly recommend Northco for any renovations you may need.

Why Homeowners Invest in Cabinet Painting

Outdated wood tones or dark finishes can make your kitchen feel heavy and tired. Professional cabinet painting is the fastest way to breathe new life into the space – brightening your kitchen and giving it a clean, custom feel without replacing a thing. When done right, a new paint finish completely transforms the look and feel of your home.

For many Ottawa homeowners, cabinet painting offers the perfect balance of value and style. Why rip out high-quality cabinetry when a tailored paint job delivers that “wow” factor for a fraction of the cost? We preserve what’s working, elevate the rest, and help you achieve the aesthetic you want – without a full gut job.

No demolition. No dust clouds. No living out of boxes for months. Our approach is designed to work with your existing kitchen layout and structure, meaning most projects are completed in just 1–2 weeks. You’ll get a dramatic transformation with minimal downtime – and maximum satisfaction.

The Cabinet Painting Process

Once your doors arrive at our shop, they go through a meticulous multi-step transformation.

Step 1: Clean & Degrease

Kitchens get messy.

We ensure that your doors are spotless before moving forward.

We remove years of grime, grease, and residue so nothing gets sealed beneath the paint.

Step 2: Modify As Needed

We prep for perfection.

Any dents, chips, or unneeded hardware holes are filled and smoothed. 

If you’re upgrading hardware, we also adjust holes to match.

Step 3: Sand & Smooth

The foundation of a flawless finish.

We sand each piece to prep for primer – removing old sheen, scratches, and ensuring optimal adhesion.

 

Step 4: Prime & Sand (Again)

We’re big on double-duty prep.

A professional-grade primer is applied, followed by a second sanding to finesse the surface to a factory-smooth texture.

Step 5: Topcoat Application

The colour comes to life.

We spray your chosen colour using high-precision HVLP systems in our dust-controlled booth for a durable, smooth, professional finish.

Step 6: Final QC & Cure

We don’t just paint – we perfect.

Each door is carefully inspected, touch-ups made if needed, then left to cure completely before it returns home.

Note: If you’re only dropping off your doors and handling the rest yourself – which some DIY’ers do – this step doesn’t apply. But most homeowners love the full-service experience.

Step 1: Door & Drawer Removal

Off they go – with care.

Doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are removed with care.

Each piece is labeled for accurate reinstallation.

Everything is taken to our shop for professional finishing.

Step 2: Masking & Prep

Protect first, paint second.

We tape, mask, and drape all exposed areas.

Cabinet boxes and adjacent finishes are protected.

We prep surfaces for smooth, even spray coating.

Step 3: On-Site Spray Painting

Cabinets, meet paint.

Cabinet boxes are sprayed on-site using a controlled, low-overspray system.

Clean, smooth finish using the same paint as our in-shop work.

Professional grade application ensures durability and style.

Step 4: Reinstallation & Final Fit

Final touches, big reveal.

Once cured, doors and drawers are reinstalled and aligned.

Hardware is reinstalled or replaced per your selection.

A final quality check is performed to ensure everything looks as good as it functions.
