Price my cabinetsWhat Morinville's permit rules say about cabinet work
The Town of Morinville's building and renovating page draws a line between two kinds of work. On one side: "Structural renovations, from finishing/adding rooms, external paint/siding, electrical, plumbing and gas work, and moving walls will require a permit." On the other: "Surface renovations that do not affect structure or potential health and safety do not require a permit."
The Town's examples of surface work include interior painting, and surface renovations under $5,000 when replacing with a similar type. The page does not name cabinets. Cabinet painting, refinishing, and refacing leave walls, plumbing, and wiring in place, but whether your project counts as a surface renovation is the Town's decision, so confirm with Morinville before work starts. This wording applies to Morinville only.

Cabinet painting vs refacing in Morinville
Painting keeps your doors and costs $3,000 to $8,000 for a full kitchen, while refacing replaces them and costs $5,000 to $12,000. In Morinville both are quoted from the published Edmonton-region ranges. The rows below compare them size by size.
| Compare | Cabinet painting | Cabinet refacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average kitchen | $4,500 to $6,500 (20 to 35 doors) | $7,000 to $9,000 (20 to 30 doors) |

| Bathroom vanity | $800 to $2,000 | $1,500 to $3,500 |
| Finished surface | A sprayed solid colour on your existing doors | New doors and drawer fronts, veneer on the boxes |
| What sets the price | Door count and prep, such as grain filling on oak | Door and drawer-front count, door style, and hardware |
Morinville homes from the 1960s and 1970s, and what their cabinets need
Morinville has an older housing base than many towns near St. Albert. The Statistics Canada 2021 Census profile counted 3,770 occupied private dwellings, and the largest group, 1,165 homes, was built between 1961 and 1980. About 35.0% of the town's homes date from 1980 or earlier. Since then, the single busiest period was 2006 to 2010, with 735 homes.
A kitchen in a 1960s or 1970s house may be original, or it may have been redone since, and the build year cannot tell you which. Another 745 Morinville homes went up in the 1980s and 1990s, the era when honey oak and golden oak were common. What matters on the day is the material in front of you:
- Sound wood of any age can be painted, and oak has its open grain filled first.
- Laminate and melamine take paint after a bonding primer.
- Thermofoil that has lifted is usually refaced, since it cannot be refinished.
For the full decision, compare refinishing, refacing, and replacing kitchen cabinets.
