Cabinet Refinishing in Addison, IL

Cabinet refinishing in Addison, kitchen and beyond

Refinishing is the job of painting cabinets that are already installed, whether they hang in a kitchen, sit under a bathroom sink or line a laundry room. We pull the doors and drawer fronts, mark where each belongs, and bag the hardware by location. The surfaces get degreased, scuff-sanded and filled, then a bonding primer and a cabinet-grade enamel go on, sprayed for an even finish. Boxes and frames are painted in place behind plastic so the rest of the house stays clean.

Addison is on our regular route, and we get there on I-290 and I-355, with Lake Street, Route 53 and Army Trail Road taking us the rest of the way. Bathroom vanities take more abuse from moisture than kitchen cabinets, with steam from the shower and water splashed along the toe kick. We check the vanity base for swelling before we price it, because swollen particleboard will not hold paint. If the bath fan is weak or does not vent outside, we tell you, since the finish lasts longer in a room that dries out.

Cabinets we refinish in Addison homes

The kitchen run

Doors, drawer fronts, frames and end panels painted in one color or two.

Bathroom vanities

Vanity bases checked for water swelling, then cleaned, primed and enameled to stand up to splashing.

Laundry and utility cabinets

Upper cabinets over the washer and dryer get cleaned of lint and detergent residue before primer.

Hardware sorted by room

Hinges and pulls are bagged and labeled by room and opening so nothing gets mixed up.

Primer for slick finishes

A primer made for slick surfaces goes on everything before the enamel.

Masked work area

Plastic, floor covering and tape keep paint and dust inside the room we are working in.

How an Addison cabinet job runs

We walk through each room with cabinets you want painted and write an estimate that lists them separately, so you can choose the kitchen, the bath, or both. A swollen vanity bottom or a cracked door found during the job gets shown to you and priced in writing before we fix it. We tell you how long each room will be partly out of use, and we book around the days we said. At the end, we open every door and drawer with you and fix anything that is not right.

FAQ

Cabinet Refinishing in Addison: questions

Can you paint a bathroom vanity that gets wet?

Yes, if the box is sound. We check the base for swelling, then clean, prime and enamel it. A vanity with a soft or swollen bottom should be replaced instead, and we will tell you that.

Do you refinish cabinets in towns next to Addison?

Yes. Villa Park, Lombard, Wood Dale and Elmhurst are all places we paint cabinets too.

Is a permit needed in Addison to paint cabinets?

For paint alone, generally no. If you also want the vanity plumbing moved or new outlets added, we check with the village and pull the permit where it is required.

How long will each room be out of use?

A kitchen or bath is partly out of use for several days while its doors cure. We give you the count for each room before we start, so you are never without both at once unless you choose to be.

How do I set up an estimate?

Call or text (815) 585-1750 and let us know which rooms have cabinets you want painted. We will come out and write it up.
