Cabinet Refinishing in Warrenville

Keep the cabinet boxes you already paid for in your Warrenville kitchen and give them a painted finish that wipes clean. We tell you up front whether the wood grain will show through and what it takes to hide it.

Painted cabinets in Warrenville, with the grain question answered first

We refinish kitchen, bath and built-in cabinets by painting them, so the boxes, layout and counters stay right where they are. Our crew takes off the doors and drawer fronts, labels each one and bags the hinges and pulls. Then comes the prep: degreasing, scuff-sanding, filling dents, and a bonding primer. The color goes on as a cabinet-grade enamel, sprayed so it lays down even, and the frames get painted in place with the room masked.

Warrenville is on our regular route, reached off I-88 and Route 59, with Butterfield Road and Winfield Road taking us into the neighborhoods along the West Branch of the DuPage River. If your cabinets are oak, the open grain will telegraph through paint as a pattern of fine lines unless it gets filled. Some people like that texture, and some want a flat, even surface. We can finish one door first so you can see the difference, and if you want the grain gone, grain filling goes on the estimate as its own line.

Cabinet Refinishing by ONIT Solutions

What goes into refinishing Warrenville cabinets

Grain filling on oak

Open grain gets filled and sanded flat before primer when you want a smooth painted look.

A sample door on request

We can finish one door ahead of the rest so you see the color, sheen and grain before deciding.

Doors and fronts removed

Each door and drawer front comes off, gets a label and goes back on its own opening.

Cleaning and sanding

Degreaser takes off the kitchen film, then a scuff-sand gives the primer something to hold.

Primer and enamel

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

Frames done on site

Face frames and end panels are painted in place, with floors, counters and the range covered.

How we run a Warrenville cabinet job

The estimate starts with us in your kitchen, counting doors, drawers and panels and checking the boxes for damage. You get a written scope that lists the prep, the primer, the enamel and grain filling if you want it. Anything extra we find, such as a cracked door or a loose hinge plate, is priced in writing and done only after you approve it. We book the work around the days we said, tell you how long the kitchen will be partly out of use, and check every door with you when it is back on.

FAQ

Cabinet Refinishing in Warrenville: questions

Will the oak grain show through the paint?
It will unless it gets filled. If you want a smooth look, we fill the grain, sand it flat and then prime. If you like the texture, we skip that step and the price reflects it.
Do you work in towns around Warrenville?
We do. Our crew refinishes cabinets in Naperville, Wheaton, Lisle and Aurora as well.
Does Warrenville require a permit for cabinet painting?
Painting existing cabinets normally needs no permit. If the project grows to include plumbing or electrical changes, we check with the city and pull the permit where it is required.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
That depends on the number of doors and how much prep they need, including grain filling. The kitchen is partly out of use for several days while the doors cure, and we tell you how many before we start.
Can I text you photos first?
Yes. Text photos of your cabinets to (815) 585-1750 for a first read, then we will set a time to see them in person and write the estimate.
