Strathcona County calls Sherwood Park its urban area and, on its communities page, puts the population at over 75,000. The County's population through the years table traces the climb. The urban count was 2,923 in 1961, 14,282 in 1971, and 29,285 in 1981. By 2001 it was 47,645, by 2011 it was 64,733, and the 2024 municipal census recorded 75,575. The sharpest jump fell between 1966 and 1976, from 6,339 people to 26,534.
Six decades of growth leave six decades of kitchens, so no one service fits the whole community. Start by naming what bothers you about your cabinets.
- A dark, worn, or yellowed finish. If you still like the doors themselves, refinishing strips that finish off and sprays a new one. Moving from dark stain to bright white or grey is priced as a stain-to-paint conversion, from $5,000.
- A door profile that dates the room. Paint and refinishing both keep the existing shape. Refacing swaps in shaker, flat panel, raised panel, or modern slab doors and matching drawer fronts.
- Fronts made of thermofoil. Years of heat near a stove or dishwasher can make thermofoil peel, bubble, or yellow. Damaged thermofoil is normally refaced, not painted.
Kitchens from the 1980s and 1990s often carry honey oak or golden oak, and their solid wood boxes are usually sound. Either route works on them. For the full money comparison against a tear-out, read whether refinishing beats buying new cabinets.

Refinishing vs refacing a Sherwood Park kitchen, point by point
Cabinet refinishing is the lower price at every kitchen size, and refacing is the shorter job. Against new cabinets at $15,000 to $35,000 or more, refinishing saves roughly 60 to 70 percent and refacing comes in roughly 40 to 50 percent lower.
| Point | Refinishing | Refacing |
|---|---|---|
| Whole kitchen | $4,000 to $10,000 | $6,000 to $15,000 |
| Working days | 7 to 10 business days, typical kitchen | 3 to 5 days, most kitchens |
| Doors you own now | Stripped, grain filled, resprayed, and rehung | Taken away and replaced with new doors and fronts |
| Boxes | Coated on site | Wrapped in veneer |
| Hinges and pulls | Existing hinges adjusted at reinstall | Soft-close hinges and new hardware supplied |
| Right whenBoth beat new cabinets on price | You like the door shape but not the surface | The shape or the thermofoil is what has to go |
Refinishing, refacing, and paint options for Sherwood Park kitchens and vanities
Cabinet refinishing includes stripping, grain filling, priming, spray finishing, and a clear coat, using catalyzed lacquer, conversion varnish, or Benjamin Moore Advance. On oak, the grain-filling stage is what keeps open grain from showing through a smooth colour.
Kitchen cabinet refacing keeps your boxes and adds new doors, drawer fronts, and veneer. Door material is solid wood, thermofoil, or MDF with a lacquer finish, and choosing solid wood adds 15 to 25 percent.
Kitchen cabinet painting runs $3,000 to $8,000, the cheapest way to change colour when the current finish is holding up. Bathroom vanity painting runs $800 to $2,000 over 2 to 3 days.
