How Refinish Kitchen Cabinets

Your cavelike kitchen feels that way because the dark cabinets have sucked all the light out of the room. But a brighter makeover doesn’t necessarily mean replacing those gloomy boxes with all-new cabinets. As long as the frames and doors are structurally sound, you can clean them up and spray on some new paint—and within a weekend take that kitchen from nightmare to dreamed. 

Canadian Pros shows on the ­following pages, all you need is some strong cleaner or paint stripper, sandpaper, a sprayer (HVLP). What you don’t need is a whole lot of money, as the transformation will cost you a fraction of even the cheapest new cabinets. We light up your day.

PROUD MEMBERS OF THE CHBA & ALBERTA PAINTING CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION


President’s Message

Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Calgary Region is one of the most established and respected associations in the country, representing single- and multi-family builders, renovators, land developers, trades, suppliers, and professional companies involved in the residential construction industry. The strong membership provides Calgary and area with housing and communities that are professionally planned and built with integrity and quality.


The Alberta Painting Contractors Association (APCA) represents the major players in the Alberta painting industry with a focus on commercial and industrial projects.
APCA supports a skilled workforce providing quality service. APCA awards annual scholarships to assist apprentices seeking their journeyman trade designation in painting and decorating. Luncheon meetings are held from September through June to keep members advised of Association activities and to provide a forum for guest speakers with topics of direct relevance to the industry.


 MPI compliant (The Master Painting Institute) 

 Hundreds of years ago, the Master Painter emerged in most countries throughout Europe as the pinnacle of the process whereby a young person (only a young man in those days) would begin the long journey towards the attainment of a ‘craft.’ He might start as an apprentice, then progress towards ‘journeyman’. Only the ‘creme de la creme’ ascended to the lofty level of Master Craftsman … in our industry, to the level of Master Painter.


The term Master Painter exists in other continents as well. For example, the counterpart of our Associations in Australia is known as the Master Painters, Decorators, and Signwriters Association of Victoria.


Here in North America, the level of Master Craftsman is not generally available, and the European system of apprenticeship is ‘different.’ The Master Painter has, however, been a large part of the United States and Canadian painting history
