Cabinet Refinishing in Palatine

Get your Palatine cabinets painted in the right order with any new counters or backsplash, so the fresh finish does not get nicked by the next trade. You see the sequence and the full scope in writing first.

Cabinet refinishing in Palatine, sequenced with the rest of the kitchen

We refinish cabinets by painting the ones you have, in the kitchen, bath or a built-in, instead of buying new boxes. Our crew removes the doors and drawer fronts, labels each one, and bags the hinges and pulls by opening. Surfaces are cleaned with a degreaser, scuff-sanded and filled, then primed with a bonding primer. The topcoat is a cabinet-grade enamel sprayed for an even finish, and the frames are painted in place with the room masked.

Palatine is on our regular route up Route 53, and Rand Road, Northwest Highway and Dundee Road get us to your street, whether you are near downtown and the Metra station or over by Harper College. If you are changing counters or adding a tile backsplash along with the paint, the order matters. Counters set after painting can scrape the new enamel on the frames, and grout haze is hard to clean off a fresh finish, so we plan the paint around those trades. We write the sequence into the estimate so you know which day is for what.

Cabinet Refinishing by ONIT Solutions

What a Palatine cabinet refinish covers

Work sequenced with other trades

Painting is scheduled around new counters or backsplash so the fresh enamel does not get damaged.

Fronts off and tagged

Each piece comes off with a label, and hardware is bagged by opening.

Degreased and scuff-sanded

Cooking film and old sheen come off so the primer bonds.

Dents and chips filled

Edges and frames get filled and sanded flat before primer.

Primer, then the topcoat

A bonding primer goes on first, then cabinet-grade enamel in even sprayed coats.

Frames and ends on site

Face frames and end panels get painted where they stand, with the room covered.

How a Palatine cabinet job runs

We see the kitchen, ask what else is changing and write an estimate that lists the cabinet work and the order it fits with anything else. If a counter date moves or you add a pantry once we start, we put the change in writing and wait for your approval. We tell you how many days the kitchen will be partly out of use and book around the days we said. At the end, we open every door and drawer with you and fix anything that needs it.

FAQ

Cabinet Refinishing in Palatine: questions

Should I paint cabinets before or after new counters go in?
Usually after the counters are set, so the install does not scrape the new finish. We look at your plans and write the order into the estimate.
Do you refinish cabinets near Palatine?
Yes. We also work in Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows, Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg.
Do I need a Palatine permit to paint cabinets?
Painting cabinets alone usually does not. If the kitchen work grows into plumbing or electrical changes, we check with the village and pull the permit where it is required.
How long will the kitchen be partly out of use?
Several days while the doors cure, set around any counter or backsplash dates. We give you the exact count in the estimate, before we start.
How do I get an estimate?
Call or text (815) 585-1750 and tell us what else is changing in the kitchen. We will come out and write the estimate.
