Keep the Plainfield kitchen you already have and give the cabinets a hard, smooth painted finish that wipes clean. We paint what you own instead of tearing it out.
Cabinet refinishing means painting your existing doors, drawer fronts and boxes instead of paying to replace them. Our crew takes the doors and drawer fronts off, numbers each one to its opening and bags the hardware so nothing gets mixed up. Every surface is degreased, scuff-sanded and filled, then coated with a bonding primer and a cabinet-grade enamel that is sprayed for an even finish with no brush marks. The boxes and face frames get done in place while the rest of the kitchen stays masked off.
Plainfield is on our regular route, and we reach it on Route 59, Route 126 and 127th Street. If your kitchen opens straight into a family room, the masking does not stop at the cabinets, so we seal off the open side with plastic and cover the furniture before anything gets sprayed. Where the cabinets carry an older stained finish, the cleaning and sanding take longer than the painting, and we put that time in writing before we start. When the boxes are sound and only the color feels dated, refinishing is usually the better spend, since the bones stay and only the surface changes.
Each door and drawer front comes off and gets a number that matches its opening, so everything goes back where it started.
Hinges, pulls and screws go into labeled bags, ready to reinstall or to swap for new pulls you pick.
Cooking grease and hand oil come off first, because paint will not bond to a surface that still feels slick.
A bonding primer goes over the scuffed surface so the enamel grips the old finish instead of sitting on top of it.
The color coat is a cabinet-grade enamel, sprayed for a smooth, even surface that stands up to daily wiping.
Counters, appliances, floors and walls are covered, and an open family room side gets plastic while we spray the frames.
Your free estimate is written at the house and lists every door, drawer front and box on the job. Say we pull a door and find a soft panel under the sink: that fix gets its own written price, and it waits until you approve it. Cure days are on the schedule before we start, so you know how long the kitchen stays partly out of use. Last comes the rehang, the hinge adjustment and a door-by-door walkthrough with you.
