New Lenox Cabinets Have Their Own Challenges
New Lenox homes range from 1990s construction to brand new builds. Cabinet materials vary, and that changes how we prep and paint them.
Thermofoil can't be painted
Some newer New Lenox homes have thermofoil cabinets that can't be painted. We'll tell you upfront and suggest replacement instead of wasting your money.
Oak grain needs filling
Oak cabinets have deep grain that shows through paint. We use grain filler so the finish looks smooth, not textured.
Maple and birch sand smooth
Maple and birch are common in older New Lenox kitchens. They sand and paint beautifully when prepped correctly.
Cabinet painting is 80 percent prep. If you skip the prep or use the wrong products, the paint fails within a year. We don't skip any step.

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 cabinets look like when we pack up.
The problem
No degreasing or sanding. The new paint never bonded to the greasy surface.
Brushed on, not sprayed. Looks like a DIY job, not a professional finish.
Water stains and grease not blocked with primer. They ghost right through the new paint.
What you get
Degreased, sanded, primed, sprayed. The finish bonds and stays bonded.
Sprayed on, not brushed. Looks like it came from a factory.
Primer blocks everything. Water stains, grease, tannin bleed, all sealed.
True on every New Lenox cabinet job we take:
What the Cabinets Look Like When We Leave
