Jake and his team are perfectionists. And they actually care that you are 200% satisfied.
180 Transformations took a very tired 38 year old kitchen and made it look bright, clean and new. The team was easy to communicate with, pleasant and respectful while working in our home. I would definitely bring them back.

My background is in spraying and restoring automobiles - some that went on to win classic auto show competitions. I took that same precision and attention to detail and applied it to refinishing cabinets, painting homes, and transforming spaces.

Hardware reinstalled, everything cleaned up. Your kitchen transformed.
Colour and finish selections depend on matching and contrasting wall and cabinet colours, countertop and flooring coordination, and hardware finishes that tie it all together. Our vendors offer large selections of materials and designs to match your vision.
Based on advice from real estate experts, we recommend soft, neutral tones without much complexity or bold colour for homes going on the market. This ensures the home will be as broadly appealing as possible to buyers viewing it online or in person.
In kitchen design, there's a general rule of matching at least 2 of 3 fixture/hardware items. For example: matte black cabinet handles and faucet, with a gold lighting fixture as an accent. Your kitchen, your rules - but consistency creates a polished look.

Book NowWith over two decades of professional painting experience, we handle everything from a single accent wall to a complete interior/exterior transformation.
Walls, ceilings, trim, millwork, doors, fireplace mantels, and staircase refinishing. We prep meticulously and use premium Sherwin-Williams paints for a flawless, lasting result in every room.
Siding (wood, metal, and vinyl), brick staining, soffit and fascia, gutter/downspouts, and deck refinishing. Durable coatings built to withstand Ontario's seasons.
Venetian plastering, concrete art, lime-wash painting, and custom accent walls. European-inspired finishes that add bespoke, one-of-a-kind character to any space.

Exterior walls take a beating every year. Sun fades colour. Rain stains surfaces. Cold winters cause cracks and peeling. A fresh coat of paint not only boosts curb appeal, but also helps protect your home from the elements.
We begin with meticulous preparation - cleaning, sanding, and repairing surfaces before paint touches the building. High-quality coatings protect against moisture, UV exposure, and Ontario's temperature swings.
Walls slowly collect signs of daily life. Small dents appear. Corners lose their sharp look. Rooms begin to feel dull even when everything else is clean. Professional residential painters can bring that fresh feeling back.
Preparation is always the first step. Floors are covered, furniture is protected, and surface marks are repaired so the wall is smooth. Clean, consistent layers with sharp lines at every intersection.

Add a bespoke touch with Venetian plaster, concrete art, or lime-wash paint. These finishes have been used in Europe for generations as a way of adding character and natural beauty.














We pride ourselves in using top quality paint and products. We work with our trusted vendors to offer unmatched expertise in using the best product for the right application.

A complete guide to cabinet refinishing costs in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.
The short answer: Cabinet refinishing typically costs between $4,500 - $10,000. The price varies based on kitchen size, cabinet quality, labour fees, and more.
Cabinet refinishing is the process of restoring the appearance of existing cabinets by applying a new finish, rather than replacing them. This typically involves cleaning, sanding, and repainting or staining your cabinets to give them a fresh, updated look.
The total cost depends on several factors: the size of your kitchen, the condition of your cabinets, the type of finish used, and your location.
At 180 Transformations, our 2024 data shows:
We've created a cost calculator that lets you select from three refinishing options, choose your door/drawer count (minimum 30), and add extras like two-tone colour, handle hole adjustments, or wood grain filling for oak cabinets.
If your cabinets are made of solid wood and are still in good condition, refinishing is the right solution for most spaces. It is cost-effective and preserves your existing cabinetry.
Cabinet refinishing may be right for you if you want to update your kitchen without a full renovation, your cabinet boxes are in good condition, you're looking for a budget-friendly option, you prefer a quick turnaround (typically a week or less), or you want an environmentally friendly approach by reusing existing structures.


Why homeowners across the Waterloo region are choosing refinishing over replacement.
Did you know that in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, the average home is over 40 years old? Many older homes feature solid wood cabinets, such as oak, which were a staple for decades. While these cabinets are built to last, design preferences have shifted. Today, homeowners are looking to replace the dark, dated tones of natural wood with lighter, more modern finishes.
Cabinet refinishing is a smart, budget-friendly way to refresh the look of your kitchen without the cost or disruption of a full renovation. If your cabinets are in good shape, refinishing them with high-quality paint is a cost-effective way to achieve a fresh, updated look that transforms your entire space.
