Spraying built-ins and vanities in Mokena

Painted woodwork that people touch every day needs a hard, even coat, and spraying is how we get it on built-ins, vanities and mantels. Each piece is cleaned and degreased, scuff-sanded, filled where it is dinged, then primed with a bonding primer. Doors and drawer fronts come off, get labeled and are sprayed flat, while the boxes are sprayed in place with the room masked around them. Kitchen cabinets follow the same process and have their own page under cabinet refinishing.

Mokena is on our regular route, reached on I-80, Route 30, Wolf Road and LaGrange Road, with 191st Street getting us around town. If your Mokena home has a stained oak vanity, bookcase or mantel you are tired of, paint can update it without tearing it out. Stained wood under an old clear coat needs real sanding and a bonding primer, or the new paint can lift off with a strip of tape. If the wood is water-damaged or coming apart, we will tell you that replacing it is the better answer.

What goes into a Mokena built-in or vanity job

Doors and fronts sprayed flat

Doors and drawer fronts are removed, labeled and sprayed lying flat for an even finish.

Boxes sprayed in place

Frames and boxes are sprayed where they stand, with walls, counters and floors masked.

Degrease and scuff-sand

Hand oils and old polish come off, then a scuff-sand gives the primer something to grip.

Bonding primer

A primer made for glossy and stained wood goes on first so the enamel stays put.

Mantels and bookcases

Fireplace mantels and built-in shelving get the same prep and coats, with the brick or stone masked off.

Hardware back on

The original pulls and hinges go back on, or new ones if you want a change.

How a Mokena woodwork job runs

We look at each piece and write a free estimate that lists what gets sprayed, the primer, the finish and the coats. You approve it in writing before we schedule. A vanity or built-in is partly out of use for a few days while the doors cure, and we tell you how long before we begin. If we find water damage under a sink or a loose box, the fix is priced in writing and you decide first. We finish with a walkthrough once the last doors are back on.

FAQ

Paint Spraying in Mokena: questions

Can you paint stained wood without it peeling?

Yes, when the prep is right. The old finish is cleaned, sanded and primed with a bonding primer before any enamel goes on, and that prep is what holds the paint.

Do I need a permit in Mokena to paint built-ins?

Painting woodwork does not usually need a permit from the Village of Mokena. If you change a vanity's plumbing or move a built-in, we check what the village requires first.

How long will my bathroom vanity be out of use?

Plan on a few days for the doors and drawers to cure before they go back on. You can usually still use the sink, and we give you the days before we start.

Do you work in towns near Mokena?

We also spray woodwork in Frankfort, New Lenox, Orland Park and Homer Glen.
