WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR CABINETS

Our 5-Day Cabinet Process

Our process

Day 1
DEGREASE, LABEL & PREP

Every door and drawer is labeled, degreased, and carefully removed. We mask and protect your kitchen countertops, floors, appliances, everything. Your space stays clean from day one.
Day 2
SURFACE PREPARATION

Doors and casings are thoroughly prepped with adhesion testing and sanding to ensure a flawless foundation. No shortcuts! Proper prep is why our finishes last.
Day 3
DOUBLE PRIME

Two coats of premium bonding primer are applied to all casings and cabinet doors. Sanding between coats for perfect adhesion. This is what separates a professional finish from a DIY job.
Day 4
DOUBLE TOPCOAT

Two coats of your chosen premium finish are applied using HVLP spray equipment. Sanding between coats for a smooth, factory-quality result. Our guaranteed 4-coat system (2 primer + 2 topcoat) is standard across all three finish options we offer.
Day 5
INSTALL & FINAL WALKTHROUGH

Doors and drawers are reinstalled with care. We do a detailed walkthrough with you to make sure every detail is perfect. Most projects completed in 5 days. Backed by our 2-year warranty.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted my solid wood kitchen cabinets refinished to the original condition. Not an easy job. After getting a few quotes I chose Oriah Contracting. They completed the job in a very careful and professional manner from start to finish. The cabinets looked beatiful. Alex and Nefi were a pleasure to work with. I would highly reccomend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My communication with Alex was professional, helpful, and descriptive. I felt he made sure we knew all our options (had to paint over a repaired area of stucco to blend) and was not trying to push one way or another. They completed the work as scheduled and the workmanship was excellent. It was an easy experience overall and I would recommend Oriah for similar painting projects.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We greatly appreciate Oriah contracting for their professionalism, outstanding service quality, and genuine dedication. They even took the extra step of identifying an issue with our drawer front panel, which was not opening and closing properly, and helped us resolve it so that the installation could be completed smoothly. This level of attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond is truly exceptional.

Quick Answers to Your Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during the initial consultation?

During our initial consultation, we'll assess your space, discuss your preferences and requirements, and answer any questions you may have about the project or our processes.

Is cabinet refinishing/repainting cheaper than replacing?

Yes, painting cabinets is generally much more cost-effective than replacing them. Painting can give your cabinets a fresh, new look at a fraction of the cost of new cabinetry. Painting your existing cabinets can save you significant time and money, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious homeowners looking to update their kitchen or bathroom without a full remodel.

How long will the project take to complete?

The duration of the project depends on the size of the area and the complexity of the work. We will provide a timeline estimate during our initial consultation. Most projects can be completed in 5 days especially if higher quality paint is used due to fast dry times.

How is Oriah different from others?

We use only in-house trained crews — no subcontractors, ever. Every project follows our proven system with a guaranteed 4-coat application and a 2-year warranty on labour and materials. We're A+ BBB rated with 90+ five-star Google reviews.

Can I paint my cabinets myself?

You can, but professional cabinet painting requires specialized equipment (HVLP sprayers), premium primers, controlled environments, and proper technique. Our 4-coat system and 2-year warranty exist because the process matters as much as the paint.

Do I need to prepare anything before you start?

Minimal prep on your end — just clear your countertops. Your cupboards can stay full. If drawer faces are stapled or fastened, we may ask you to remove those drawers contents beforehand. Everything else — masking, protection, cleanup — is on us.

Can you work around my schedule?

We strive to accommodate your schedule to minimize disruption. Let us know your availability, and we'll plan the project phases accordingly.

Do you need a downpayment before starting on a project?

Yes, we will need a 25% payment for covering of the materials to be used before we start.

Do you provide warranties or guarantees for your work?

Yes, we offer a satisfaction guarantee and a warranty covering the quality of our workmanship and materials used. Specific warranty details will be provided in your service agreement.

Are you covered by WCB and Liability?

Yes, we are fully insured and licensed. We ensure that our team adheres to the highest standards of safety and professional conduct and customer satisfaction.

What paint brands do you use?

We exclusively use premium brands: Renner, Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore specific cabinet coatings. We never use cheap paint. Renner Italian Coatings is our top-tier option, offering 10–15 year durability, superior scratch and moisture resistance, and a flawless furniture-grade finish. Most homeowners choose Renner for kitchens and high-traffic areas. We'll recommend the best paint option for your project and budget in your personalized quote.

Do you do cabinet refacing or thermofoil wrapping?

No — we specialize in painting and refinishing only. If you're looking for refacing or thermofoil, we're happy to point you in the right direction.
