Cabinet Refinishing in Clarendon Hills

Refinishing Clarendon Hills cabinets instead of replacing them

When the boxes are solid, painting them keeps the counters, sink and plumbing right where they are. Our crew pulls every door and drawer front, tags it, and bags the hinges and pulls. Then comes the prep that decides how long the paint lasts: cleaning, degreasing, a scuff-sand and filler in any dings. Bonding primer and a sprayed cabinet enamel finish the job, with the boxes and face frames painted in place.

We cover Clarendon Hills every week, coming in on Route 83 or along Ogden Avenue and 55th Street toward the Metra station. If your cabinets are oak, know that the open grain shows through paint as a texture, even after primer. Some people like that look and some do not, so we talk it through at the estimate rather than after the first coat. If you want a flatter look on a busy-grained door, we tell you plainly what extra filling it takes and price it in writing.

What goes into a Clarendon Hills cabinet refinish

From estimate to walkthrough in Clarendon Hills

The estimate is free and done in your kitchen, where we can open doors, look inside the boxes and check under the sink. What we write down is the full list: which cabinets, how many doors and fronts, the color, the sheen and the hardware plan. Anything extra that turns up gets priced in writing, and you approve it before we do it. We give you the dates and the cure time up front, then go over every door with you when the last coat is dry.
