Bathroom and kitchen walls in your La Grange home that stay smooth through steam and daily use. We finish the new board around tile, cabinets and fixtures so the paint goes on clean.
A bathroom remodel puts two kinds of board on the walls. Cement board goes behind the tile in the shower, moisture-resistant drywall goes everywhere else, and each one gets finished its own way. On the drywall we use setting-type compound for the tape coat, since it stands up to humidity better than ready-mix, then sand the finish coats smooth and prime before paint. Where the drywall meets the tile board, we finish the transition so the paint line runs clean along the tile.
We cover La Grange in Cook County, reaching it off I-294 and along Ogden Avenue, La Grange Road and 47th Street. In a kitchen remodel, new board often goes up in pieces, around a range hood, between upper cabinets and above a backsplash, and every piece has seams and cut edges in plain view. Where we can, we tape and finish them before the cabinets go in, because finishing against a cabinet box leaves a rough line along its side. If your La Grange kitchen keeps its cabinets, we mask them off and work around them with the counters covered.

We look at the room, the tile and cabinet plan, and the board, then leave a free written estimate that shows what gets finished before the cabinets and what gets finished after. If an opened wall turns up old water damage or a rotted plate, we stop, price the fix in writing and wait for your approval before anything is closed up. Drying time between coats is part of the schedule, and we line it up with the tile and cabinet work so nothing waits on wet compound. We finish with a walkthrough of every wall and edge with you.
