Mundelein Kitchens Have Their Own Style
Mundelein homes range from 1960s ranches with original oak to newer builds with modern styles. Each needs a different approach.
Oak cabinets in ranches
1960s and 70s ranches have heavy oak cabinets with strong grain. We use grain filler to smooth them before painting so you don't see wood texture through the color.
Grease buildup near the stove
Years of cooking grease near the range need extra cleaning. We degrease twice near the stove so paint doesn't fail around the heat source.
Modern slab doors
Newer homes have flat slab doors that show every brush mark. We spray these doors for a finish that looks factory-applied.
Every Mundelein cabinet job starts with a test spot. We clean and prime one small area so you can see the color before we paint the whole kitchen.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every cabinet call opens with one of these. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the kitchen looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Years of cooking grease have built up so much that no cleaner gets them clean again.
That 1970s oak color is dated, and staining darker won't fix the orange tone underneath.
Somebody painted the cabinets before without proper prep, and it's flaking off every time you wipe them.
What you get
Degreased, sanded, primed and painted so they look factory-new and wipe clean easily.
White, gray, navy, green or any color you pick. No orange tones showing through.
Hard-wearing paint that resists chipping, heat and moisture so it lasts for years.
