Get painted kitchen cabinets in Carol Stream that hold up to cooking, cleaning and daily use, without paying to tear the old boxes out. We list every door, drawer and frame in writing before we take one hinge off.
Cabinet refinishing means we paint the cabinets you already have, in the kitchen, the bath or a built-in, instead of replacing them. Doors and drawer fronts come off and get labeled, and the hardware goes into marked bags so every piece returns to its spot. Each surface is degreased, scuff-sanded and filled, then coated with a bonding primer and a cabinet-grade enamel that is sprayed on for an even finish. The boxes and face frames are painted in place while the rest of the kitchen stays masked off.
Carol Stream is on our regular route, and we come in on North Avenue, Gary Avenue, Army Trail Road and Schmale Road. In any kitchen that gets used every day, the doors next to the range and above it carry a film of cooking grease you cannot always see. Paint laid over that film lets go at the edges within months, so we degrease those doors twice and check them before primer goes on. The doors by the sink and the trash cabinet get the same treatment, since hands leave oils there too.
Doors and frames near the stove get cleaned twice, because primer will not bond over a cooking film.
Every door and drawer front gets a label and every hinge goes in a marked bag, so the kitchen goes back together the way it came apart.
We sand the old finish dull so the primer grips, and fill dents and gouges along the edges.
A primer made to stick to slick factory finishes goes on before any color.
A cabinet-grade enamel is sprayed on the doors and fronts for an even coat with no brush marks.
Face frames, end panels and visible box sides are painted where they sit, with counters, floors and appliances covered.
We look at the cabinets in person, open the doors, check the boxes and give you a written estimate that counts doors, drawers and panels. Before we start, we tell you how many days the kitchen will be partly out of use while the doors cure. If we find a soft box bottom or a loose frame once things come apart, we show it to you and price the repair in writing before we do it. When the doors are back on, we walk the kitchen with you, open every door and fix anything you point out.
