Cabinet Refinishing in Wood Dale

Cabinet refinishing in Wood Dale, and when it is the wrong call

Refinishing means painting your existing cabinets rather than ripping them out, and it works when the boxes underneath are solid. We remove and label the doors and drawer fronts, bag the hardware, and clean every surface with a degreaser. After a scuff-sand and filling, we lay down a bonding primer and spray a cabinet-grade enamel for an even finish. The frames and boxes are painted in place with the kitchen masked off around them.

Wood Dale is on our regular route, and we come in on Route 83, Irving Park Road, Thorndale Avenue and Wood Dale Road. Before we price any refinish, we open the sink base and look at the floor of the cabinet, since that is where a slow drip or an old leak shows up first. If the particleboard is swollen, soft or falling apart, paint will not fix it, and we tell you so. In that case the better answer may be replacing that one cabinet or looking at our kitchen remodeling work, and we lay out both.

What a Wood Dale cabinet refinish covers

How a Wood Dale cabinet job runs

We look at the cabinets in person, inside and out, and give you a written estimate along with our honest take on whether refinishing makes sense. If a box needs repair, that repair is priced in writing as its own line, and you decide on it before we start. We tell you how many days the kitchen will be partly out of use and book the work around the days we said. When we are done, we open and close every door with you and fix anything you flag.
