Get the painted kitchen you want from the cabinets already on your walls, with a finish that feels smooth under your hand. We work in Darien every week.
Darien is on our regular route. Cabinet refinishing here means painting your existing kitchen, bath or built-in cabinets so you keep the layout and skip the demolition. Doors and drawer fronts come off with labels and bagged hardware, and every surface gets cleaned, degreased and scuff-sanded. After filling and a bonding primer, we spray a cabinet-grade enamel for an even finish.
We reach Darien on I-55 and Route 83, then over on 75th Street or Cass Avenue, in DuPage County alongside Willowbrook, Woodridge and Westmont. If your cabinets are oak, the open grain is the question to settle first. Paint alone sinks into those pores, and the grain pattern still shows through. Some people like that texture and others want a flat, smooth door, which takes a grain filler before primer, so we show you both and write down the one you pick.
On open-grain wood, you choose between the texture showing or a filled, smooth face, and it goes in the written scope.
Doors, drawer fronts and hardware are all marked to their spots before work starts.
Grease and wax come off, then a scuff-sand gives the primer a surface to grab.
Dings and any hardware holes you are moving away from get filled and sanded flush.
A bonding primer and a cabinet-grade enamel are sprayed for a hard, level coat.
New knobs or pulls can be drilled and mounted at the same time the doors go back.
Our estimate is free, done at your house and handed to you in writing with every piece we paint listed. Changes, like adding a pantry or the vanity in the hall bath, are priced in writing and approved by you before we do them. Before work begins, we tell you how many days the doors need to cure. At the end, we go through the kitchen together, open and close everything and adjust what needs it.
