Expert Cabinet Staining & Re-Staining
Love the warmth of real wood but not your current colour? Our cabinet staining services let you refresh, darken, or completely change the tone of your wood cabinets while keeping the natural grain on display. At Toronto Custom Painting, we re-stain kitchen cabinets, vanities, and built-ins with a durable protective topcoat that stands up to everyday use.
Why Choose Cabinet Staining?
✅ Keep the Natural Wood Grain – Unlike paint, stain highlights the character of the wood
✅ Update Dated Tones – Swap orange or yellowed finishes for modern walnut, espresso, or light natural tones
✅ Cost-Effective – A fresh look without replacing solid wood cabinets
✅ Durable Protection – A clear topcoat seals the stain against moisture and wear
Our Cabinet Staining Process
1️⃣ Cleaning & Stripping – Grease, grime, and the old finish are removed down to clean wood
2️⃣ Sanding – Surfaces are sanded evenly so the new stain absorbs consistently
3️⃣ Stain Application & Colour Matching – We apply the stain in your chosen tone and test it to match your sample
4️⃣ Protective Topcoat – A clear, spray-applied finish in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss
5️⃣ Reassembly – Doors and hardware are reinstalled for a finished, like-new look
Stain Colour Options
🎨 Light & Natural Tones – Bright, airy, and Scandinavian-inspired
🎨 Mid-Tone Browns – Warm, classic, and timeless
🎨 Dark Walnut & Espresso – Rich, dramatic, and elegant
🎨 Custom Colour Matching – Match existing trim, floors, or furniture
Paint or Stain?
Stain works best on solid wood cabinets where you want the grain to show. If your cabinets are laminate, melamine, or MDF, or you want a solid colour, cabinet painting is usually the better choice. We’ll help you decide during your free estimate.
