Cabinet Refinishing in Minooka, IL

Cabinet refinishing in Minooka

Minooka is on our regular route, and cabinet refinishing here follows the same process every time. We take off doors and drawer fronts, label each one and bag the hardware by cabinet. Then comes cleaning, degreasing, scuff-sanding and filling, so the new coat has something sound to grab. Bonding primer and a sprayed cabinet-grade enamel finish the work, and the boxes and face frames get painted in place.

We get to Minooka on I-80 and Route 6, then Ridge Road or McLindon Road, and the village crosses Grundy, Kendall and Will counties. Before we quote, we check what your doors are made of. If your cabinets are wood or painted wood, they take primer and enamel well. If they have a vinyl or thermofoil skin that is peeling at the edges, paint will not fix the peel, and we tell you that instead of selling you a job that fails.

What refinishing covers in Minooka

Door material checked first

We look at the doors, the edges and the face frames to confirm the surface will hold paint before we write the scope.

Every part tagged

Doors and drawer fronts get numbered tags, so nothing ends up on the wrong opening.

Sorted hardware

Each cabinet's hinges and screws go in their own labeled bag.

Prep that makes paint stick

Cleaning, degreasing and scuff-sanding come before any primer touches the wood.

Filled and smoothed

Gouges, chips and unwanted holes are filled, then sanded so they disappear under the finish.

Sprayed enamel finish

A cabinet-grade enamel goes over bonding primer, sprayed for a level surface with no roller texture.

What to expect from start to finish

First we come out for a free estimate and put the scope on paper, door by door. If a hidden problem turns up, like a soft sink base, we write up the fix and its price and wait for your sign-off. We tell you before we begin how many days the doors need to cure and which parts of the kitchen will be masked. At the end, we walk the room with you, open every drawer and fix any door that does not close right.

FAQ

Cabinet Refinishing in Minooka: questions

Which towns near Minooka do you cover?

We refinish cabinets in Channahon, Shorewood and Joliet as well, with the same written scope and the same prep.

Can you paint thermofoil cabinets?

We do not paint it when the skin is peeling. Paint sits on top of the foil, so if the foil lets go, the paint goes with it. We look before we quote and tell you plainly.

How many days is the kitchen affected?

Plan on several days, since the doors need time to cure before they go back up. Your timeline is in writing before we start. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to get on the schedule.

Do I need a permit in Minooka to paint cabinets?

Painting cabinets usually does not need one. If the project grows into plumbing or electrical, we check with the village and pull what it requires first.

What insurance do you carry?

We carry liability insurance, and the certificate is available to you before we start.
