Preserve the wood grain on your solid-oak or maple cabinets with a furniture-grade refinish from our North Bay shop. Pickup, in-shop spray, reinstall - built for the 1970s and 1980s homes along Highway 11 from Powassan through Trout Creek.
North Bay Painting Services refinishes kitchen and bathroom cabinets in Powassan, Trout Creek, and the Highway 11 corridor. We are based in North Bay, 25 to 30 minutes north, covering P0H 1Z0, the Genesee Park area, and rural roads off Highway 534 toward Restoule. Our most popular Powassan option is pickup-and-deliver: we collect your doors, refinish them in our shop spray booth with Renner or Envirolak, and return for reinstall. Phone +1-705-482-1142, Suite 23028 Ferris, 276 Lakeshore Drive, North Bay, ON P1A 4K6. Bonded, insured, WSIB, 1-year written warranty. Serving the region since 2016.
Most Powassan homes were built between 1970 and 1990, when solid-oak and maple cabinets were standard in rural Ontario kitchens. The wood is sound. What is tired is the orange-toned varnish and 35 years of cooking grease baked into the topcoat.
Powassan is roughly 30 km south, a 25 to 30-minute drive each way. We batch travel: one pickup day, several focused days in our North Bay booth, one reinstall day. The mess stays at our shop.
A full kitchen replacement at $14,000 to $28,000 is a hard sell when the original solid-wood cabinets are structurally fine. Refinishing at $2,400 to $5,800 is the answer - a furniture-grade finish without ripping out lumber better than what is on the market new.
Real numbers for a typical Powassan kitchen. All quotes written, fixed-price, pickup and reinstall included.
We cover P0H 1Z0 plus surrounding Trout Creek and the Highway 11 corridor. Walk the kitchen, count doors, identify wood species. Written fixed-price quote within 24 hours.
Arrive with the enclosed trailer, label every door by location, bag hardware in numbered sets, mask the job site, drive everything back to our North Bay shop.
Doors stripped with the right chemical for the species, sanded through grits, primed with Benjamin Moore or Dulux bonding primer where needed. Dings and cracks filled flush.
Gel stain first if you want a tone change, then two sprayed coats of Renner conversion varnish or Envirolak water-based clear. Boxes are refinished on-site in parallel.
Back to Powassan, reinstall every door to its labelled spot, remount hardware, leave you with written warranty and leftover topcoat for touch-ups. Total: 7 to 10 working days.
Retail paint will not survive year five in a working Powassan kitchen. We use factory-grade coatings.
Benjamin Moore Stays Clear and Advance for prep, plus Dulux Diamond bonding primer where the existing finish is melamine or laminated.
Italian-made conversion varnish used in high-end European cabinet factories. Cures rock-hard with a hardener additive. Our default Powassan choice for solid-oak refinishes.
Canadian-made water-based conversion clear with low odour and faster cure. The right choice when you cannot tolerate solvent smell or want a cooler tone.
Every Powassan refinish ships with a 1-year written workmanship warranty. Bonded, insured, WSIB. Serving the North Bay region since 2016.
Same Powassan rate, same Powassan route. We pickup and reinstall across the full Highway 11 corridor between North Bay and South River.
For a typical 30-door Powassan kitchen with solid-oak cabinets from the 1970s or 1980s, refinishing runs $2,400 to $5,800. Replacing the same kitchen averages $14,000 to $28,000 once you include demolition, new boxes, install, and countertop rework. Refinishing preserves solid lumber that most factory cabinets cannot match.
