Cabinet Refacing in Glenora
iPaint Painting provides professional cabinet refacing services in Glenora, one of Edmonton’s most distinguished heritage neighbourhoods west of downtown. Glenora’s 1910s–1940s character homes — Tudor revivals along Connaught Drive, Craftsman bungalows near Government House, and mid-century ranchers overlooking the North Saskatchewan River valley — feature kitchens built with solid hardwood cabinet boxes that remain structurally superior to modern alternatives. The original mortise-and-tenon joinery and old-growth wood construction from that era has held up beautifully for 60–80+ years, but the door styles, hardware, and finishes are unmistakably dated. Cabinet refacing preserves these irreplaceable heritage boxes while replacing every visible element: new shaker, slab, or raised-panel doors, fresh drawer fronts, soft-close hinges, modern pulls, and matched veneer on exposed face frames. Typical Glenora kitchen cabinet refacing costs $5,000–$14,000 depending on kitchen size and door style — a fraction of the $25,000–$50,000+ full kitchen renovation that heritage homes often require. Whether you’re updating 1940s solid-wood doors in a Tudor near Royal Glenora Club, modernizing 1960s flat-panel MDF in a mid-century bungalow, or converting builder-grade doors in a recent infill, iPaint’s certified in-house team handles every step. Every project includes a free consultation, detailed written estimate, and 5-year written workmanship warranty. Call 780-938-9555 for your free cabinet refacing estimate in Glenora.

Why Glenora Homeowners Choose iPaint for Cabinet Refacing
Heritage kitchens demand precision, quality materials, and an understanding of older construction — that’s exactly what we deliver.
In-House Team, No Subcontractors
Every installer on our crew is a full-time, in-house employee. No rotating strangers in your Glenora home, no subcontractors, no middlemen. When you hire iPaint, you get iPaint — the same trained team, the same standards, every project. That’s how we guarantee consistency across every door in your kitchen.
Heritage Home Experience
Glenora’s character homes are not cookie-cutter suburban builds. We understand the non-standard dimensions, solid-wood construction, and architectural quirks of kitchens built from the 1910s through the 1960s. Our team has refaced cabinets in Tudor revivals, Craftsman bungalows, and mid-century homes across Edmonton’s historic west end for over a decade.
Custom-Measured, Not Stock
Unlike big-box refacing companies that only stock standard-size doors, we custom-measure every opening in your Glenora kitchen. Heritage homes often feature non-standard widths, heights, and configurations that demand precision fabrication. Every door fits perfectly because every door is measured individually.
Free Consultation & Door Samples
Choosing the right door style for a heritage home is critical — you want modern function without clashing with your home’s original character. We bring physical door samples to every Glenora consultation so you can see how shaker, slab, and raised-panel profiles look against your existing millwork, trim, and countertops.
5-Year Written Warranty
Every door, drawer front, and hinge we install is backed by a 5-year written workmanship warranty. If something isn’t right — alignment, operation, or finish — we come back and make it right, no questions asked. That’s our promise to every Glenora homeowner.
No Hidden Costs — Ever
The price on your written estimate is the price you pay. Period. We don’t surprise you with extra charges for non-standard openings, heritage configurations, or additional veneer work. Everything is detailed upfront so you can make confident decisions about your Glenora kitchen investment.
Door Materials & Finishing Products
We source doors and finishing materials from trusted North American manufacturers. The quality of the door and finish determines how your Glenora kitchen will look and perform for years to come.

Premium hardwood doors in maple, oak, or birch for homeowners who want the warmth and authenticity of real wood in their Glenora heritage kitchen. Available in shaker, raised-panel, and traditional profiles that honour period architecture.
Premium MDF Doors
Engineered MDF doors deliver perfectly smooth surfaces ideal for painted finishes in white, grey, navy, and custom colours. MDF resists the warping and expansion that solid wood can experience in Alberta’s extreme temperature and humidity swings.
Finish & Hardware
Doors are finished with catalyzed lacquer or factory-applied coatings for maximum durability. Hardware sourced from trusted brands ensures smooth operation and lasting quality — soft-close hinges, modern pulls, and knobs that complement your Glenora home.

Why Glenora Kitchens Are Perfect Candidates for Cabinet Refacing
Glenora is one of Edmonton’s oldest and most prestigious residential neighbourhoods, established in the 1910s on the bluffs west of 124 Street overlooking the North Saskatchewan River valley. The neighbourhood stretches from Stony Plain Road on the north to River Valley Road on the south, bounded by 142 Street to the west and 124 Street to the east. Home to Government House — the former official residence of Alberta’s Lieutenant Governor — and adjacent to the Royal Glenora Club and Victoria Golf Course, Glenora has been Edmonton’s address of choice for generations of professionals, politicians, and community leaders.
1920s–1940s: The Heritage Core
The heart of Glenora features Tudor revival and Craftsman-style homes built between the 1920s and 1940s along Connaught Drive, Wellington Crescent, and Glenora Crescent. Kitchens in these homes were built with solid hardwood cabinet boxes using construction methods — mortise-and-tenon joinery, dove-tailed drawers, solid wood shelves — that are structurally superior to anything available from modern cabinet manufacturers. These boxes have survived 80+ years of daily use and remain perfectly square and functional. What’s dated is the door style: heavy panelled doors, surface-mounted hinges, and original hardware that no longer matches the homeowner’s vision. Cabinet refacing replaces every visible element while preserving this irreplaceable craftsmanship underneath.
1950s–1960s: Mid-Century Expansion
Glenora’s postwar expansion brought mid-century ranchers and bungalows to the streets south of Stony Plain Road and along 136 Street. These homes feature simpler kitchen layouts — compact L-shapes and galley configurations — with solid plywood and hardwood cabinet boxes that remain structurally sound after 60+ years. The flat-panel and early raised-panel doors from this era are functional but aesthetically tired. Refacing with clean shaker or slab doors in white, warm grey, or navy transforms these compact kitchens completely while preserving the solid box construction that modern builders cannot match at this price point.

Modern Infills in Glenora
Glenora has seen a wave of modern infill construction over the past decade, with contemporary homes built on lots where older structures were demolished. These infills often feature standard-size cabinet boxes with builder-grade thermofoil or flat-panel doors that begin peeling and bubbling within 10–15 years near stovetops and dishwashers. Refacing these builder-grade kitchens with premium MDF shaker doors and modern hardware delivers a dramatic upgrade at a fraction of full replacement cost. Want the walls done at the same time? Our interior painting team handles both projects for maximum efficiency.

Cabinet Refacing FAQs — Glenora
Straight answers to the questions Glenora homeowners ask most about cabinet refacing costs, heritage kitchens, door styles, and timelines.
How much does cabinet refacing cost in Glenora?
Cabinet refacing in Glenora typically costs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on kitchen size, door style, and the complexity of heritage cabinet configurations. Glenora’s character homes often feature non-standard cabinet openings from the 1940s–1960s that require custom-measured doors, which adds precision but not significant cost. A standard 20–30 door kitchen averages $7,000–$10,000. This is significantly less than the $25,000–$50,000+ full kitchen renovation that heritage homes in the neighbourhood often require. Every estimate is detailed, written, and guaranteed — the price we quote is the price you pay.
Are Glenora heritage kitchen cabinets good candidates for refacing?
Absolutely — Glenora’s 1940s–1960s kitchen cabinets are often the best candidates we see. They were typically built with solid hardwood boxes using mortise-and-tenon joinery and dove-tailed drawers — construction methods that far surpass what modern cabinet manufacturers produce. If your boxes are square, level, and free of water damage, refacing preserves this superior craftsmanship while delivering a completely modern look. During our free in-home consultation, we inspect every box and give you an honest recommendation. Cabinets with warped, water-damaged, or structurally compromised boxes are better served by replacement, and we’ll tell you that upfront.
Can cabinet refacing work with Glenora’s unique kitchen layouts?
Yes. Glenora kitchens often feature layouts specific to their era: galley configurations in Tudor revivals along Connaught Drive, butler’s pantries in Craftsman homes near Government House, and compact L-shapes in mid-century bungalows along 136 Street. Unlike big-box refacing companies that only stock standard sizes, we custom-measure every opening and order doors to fit precisely. Our team has extensive experience with the non-standard dimensions, irregular spacing, and architectural quirks found in Edmonton’s heritage homes. Every door is measured and fitted individually for perfect operation.
What door styles work best for Glenora heritage homes?
The clean lines of a shaker-style door complement Glenora’s heritage architecture beautifully — the simple profile bridges the gap between period character and modern function. For Tudor revivals and Craftsman homes, a shaker in white, warm grey, or navy pairs well with the original millwork and trim. For mid-century ranchers and bungalows, a flat slab door in a matte finish delivers a sleek, contemporary update that honours the home’s streamlined aesthetic. We bring physical door samples to every consultation so you can see exactly how each style looks against your existing countertops, backsplash, and trim before committing.
How long does cabinet refacing take in a Glenora kitchen?
A typical Glenora kitchen with 20–30 doors takes 7–10 working days from door removal to final installation. Larger heritage kitchens with butler’s pantries, built-in hutches, or custom configurations may take 10–14 days. Your kitchen remains functional for most of the process — we work in sections so you maintain access to your sink, stove, and refrigerator. Our shop at 9821 33 Ave NW is just 15 minutes from Glenora via Stony Plain Road, and our crews are in the west-end neighbourhoods regularly. Call 780-938-9555 to book your free consultation.
