Cabinet Refinishing in Bolingbrook, IL

Bolingbrook cabinet refinishing, grain and all

When we refinish cabinets, we paint the doors, drawer fronts, frames and boxes you already have rather than replacing them. Each door is removed and numbered, the hardware is bagged, and every surface is degreased and scuff-sanded. A bonding primer goes on next, followed by a cabinet-grade enamel sprayed in thin, even coats. The frames and boxes get painted in place behind masking so the rest of the kitchen stays clean.

We cover Bolingbrook, reaching it on I-55, Route 53, Weber Road and Boughton Road. If your cabinets are oak or another open-grain wood, paint alone will still show the grain as a texture, and some people like that look while others want it gone. For a smooth painted face, we fill the grain before priming, which adds labor and time, and we write that choice into the estimate so you decide before we start. We talk through both looks at the estimate, so the call is yours before anything gets sanded.

What a Bolingbrook refinish covers

Grain filling, if you want it

On open-grain wood, we fill the grain before priming for a smooth face, or skip it if you like the texture showing.

Numbered doors and fronts

Each piece gets a number tied to its opening so the install at the end goes back exactly as it was.

Grease removal

A degreaser cuts the film around the stove and the handles, which is where paint fails first when this step gets skipped.

Primer that bonds

We use a bonding primer made to grip finished wood, so the color coat does not peel at the edges.

Sprayed color coats

The enamel goes on with a sprayer for an even surface on flat panels and in the corners of raised panels.

Pulls swapped if you want

New knobs or pulls can go on during reassembly, with old holes filled if the new hardware spacing is different.

How the Bolingbrook job gets done

We look at the cabinets with you, talk through the grain question and the color, and leave a free written estimate. If something turns up after the doors are off, we write it up and you approve it before the crew does anything extra. You get the dates up front, including how long the doors need to cure before they go back on. When the doors are rehung, we walk the kitchen with you and adjust anything that does not close right.

FAQ

Cabinet Refinishing in Bolingbrook: questions

Will the oak grain show through the paint?

If your cabinets are oak or another open-grain wood, the grain will show as texture under paint unless it is filled first. We can fill it for a smooth face or leave it, and the estimate shows the difference in labor.

What other towns near Bolingbrook do you work in?

We refinish cabinets in Romeoville, Woodridge, Lemont and Darien as well. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to book an estimate.

How long will we be without part of the kitchen?

Several days, while the doors and drawer fronts cure before they go back up. We tell you the expected count for your kitchen before we start so it is not a guess.

Do I need a permit in Bolingbrook to paint cabinets?

Not for refinishing by itself, since nothing structural, plumbing or electrical changes. Add a new under-cabinet light circuit or a sink move, and we handle the permit where Bolingbrook requires it.

Can I change from knobs to pulls when you refinish?

Yes. If the new pulls need different holes, we fill the old ones and sand them flush before primer, then drill for the new hardware at reassembly. Text a photo of the pulls you like to (815) 585-1750 and we will include them in the scope.
