Addison Kitchens Have Their Own Challenges
Addison kitchens range from 1950s galley layouts to modern open concepts. Different cabinet styles, different problems.
Grease buildup
Older Addison kitchens have years of cooking grease on cabinet fronts. We degrease thoroughly so paint doesn't peel.
Oak cabinet grain
Many 80s and 90s kitchens have oak cabinets with deep grain. We fill the grain before painting for a flat finish.
Hardware corrosion
Old hardware can be corroded or stuck. We clean it, replace it, or work around it, whatever you choose.
Older cabinets in Addison may have lead paint under the top layers. Our crews follow safe prep on those, which is one more reason not to hand this to somebody working out of a trunk.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every call opens with one of these. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the cabinets look like when we pack up.
The problem
No degreasing, so paint sits on top of grease and flakes off.
Brushed-on paint leaves marks. Looks amateur and collects dirt.
One coat over dark stain. Light color looks blotchy and thin.
What you get
Degreased, scuffed, primed, and sprayed. No peeling.
Sprayed, not brushed. A smooth factory-like finish on every surface.
Two coats, sprayed, so the color is consistent on every cabinet.
True on every Addison cabinet job we take:
What the Cabinets Look Like When We Leave
No brush marks. No paint on the hinges. Doors back where they started.
What Addison Customers Say After the Last Coat
