Built for tough spaces
Why Garage Cabinets Need a Tougher Finish from GoldFinchRenovation
A garage is a harsh environment for any finish, and Ottawa winters make it harsher.
Garage cabinets live through freezing nights and warm afternoons, humidity from melting snow, road salt tracked in on tires, and splashes of oil, washer fluid and cleaners. Add the occasional bump from a car door, bike or lawn mower, and it is easy to see why ordinary paint peels and stains so quickly out there.
We treat garage cabinets as a performance job, not just a colour change. That means more aggressive cleaning, careful sanding of worn edges, a primer suited to the surface, and tough topcoats that wipe clean when the inevitable spill happens.

Our process
Prep Steps GoldFinchRenovation Uses in Garages
Preparation matters even more in a garage than in a kitchen. Here is how we get finishes to stick and stay.
Clear & protect
We work around your vehicles and storage, covering floors and anything that stays in the space.
Deep degrease
Oil, salt residue and grime are removed so nothing interferes with adhesion.
Sand & repair
Chipped edges, swollen corners and dents are sanded and filled where possible.
Prime & finish
A suitable primer goes on first, followed by durable, wipeable topcoats.
Colour ideas
Garage Colour Ideas from GoldFinchRenovation
Garage colours should brighten the space and hide everyday scuffs. Popular choices include:
- Light grey walls with charcoal cabinets
- Crisp white walls with deep navy storage
- Warm greige throughout for a calm, finished feel
- A single bold accent colour on the workbench wall
Pair Your Garage with a GoldFinchRenovation Kitchen Refresh
Many clients refinish the garage at the same time as their kitchen or mudroom. Doing both together keeps the colour scheme consistent from the driveway to the kitchen, and one schedule is easier to plan around than two.
