Cabinet Refinishing in Mokena, IL

Mokena cabinet refinishing, down to the details

A Mokena refinish covers the whole cabinet, not only the doors. We label and pull every door and drawer front, bag the hinges and pulls, then degrease, scuff-sand and fill each surface. Bonding primer goes down before a sprayed cabinet-grade enamel. Face frames, panels and trim pieces get painted in place with the kitchen masked.

We cover Mokena every week, coming in on I-80, Route 30, Wolf Road and LaGrange Road, and across on 191st Street. The pieces people forget are the ones that make a refinish look finished, like crown molding on top of the uppers, end panels, the light rail underneath and the toe kick along the floor. If your cabinets have any of those, we list them by name in the estimate so nothing is left in the old color. Reinstalling matters as much, because a door rehung slightly off will look wrong no matter how good the paint is.

What a Mokena refinish includes

Crown and light rail

Molding on top of the upper cabinets and the rail underneath get the same prep and enamel as the doors.

End panels and toe kicks

Exposed cabinet sides and the kick along the floor are painted so no old color shows from any angle.

Tagged removal

Each door and drawer front is marked to its opening before it comes off, and hardware is bagged by cabinet.

Clean, sand, fill

Degreasing, scuff sanding and filling get every surface ready for primer.

Primer under sprayed enamel

A bonding primer goes on first, then a cabinet-grade enamel sprayed for an even, hard surface.

Hinge adjustment on every door

After rehanging, every hinge is adjusted so doors sit level, gaps match and nothing rubs.

How a Mokena job runs

We go through the kitchen with you and write a free estimate that lists every door, front, panel and piece of trim we will paint. If anything unexpected shows up behind a door, you get a written price for the fix and approve it before we go ahead. We set the dates before starting, including how long the doors need to cure before they go back on. On the final day we rehang, adjust and walk the kitchen with you.

FAQ

Cabinet Refinishing in Mokena: questions

Do you paint the crown molding and toe kicks too?

Yes. If they are part of your cabinets, we list them in the estimate and paint them with everything else. Leaving them in the old color is what makes a refinish look half done.

What towns near Mokena do you work in?

We refinish cabinets in New Lenox, Frankfort, Orland Park and Homer Glen too. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to set up an estimate.

How long will the kitchen be partly out of use?

Expect several days while the doors and drawer fronts cure. We tell you the count before we start and keep the work on those dates.

Do I need a permit to refinish cabinets in Mokena?

Painting cabinets you already have does not normally need one. If you add plumbing or electrical work while the doors are off, we pull the permit where Mokena requires it.

Can you replace the hinges while the doors are off?

Yes. If your hinges are worn or you want a different style, they can be swapped at reassembly. Text a photo of the current hinges to (815) 585-1750 so we can check the fit before the estimate.
