Plainfield Kitchens Have Seen Decades of Use
Plainfield has everything from 1920s farmhouse kitchens to 1990s oak cabinets and new custom builds. Every era needs a different approach.
Grease buildup on older cabinets
Homes near Route 66 and downtown have years of cooking grease on the wood. We degrease thoroughly before sanding so primer doesn't peel.
1990s oak and honey wood
That orange-toned oak from the 90s needs heavy sanding. We cut through the clear coat to give primer something to grip.
Newer custom cabinets
Modern cabinets often have thermofoil or factory clear coats. We use special bonding primers that grab slick surfaces.
We work Plainfield, Naperville, Joliet and the whole Will County area. If you're in the 60544 zip code or nearby, we can get to you quickly.

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 primer or poor prep. Paint peels off drawer edges the first time you open them.
Kitchen grease wasn't cleaned first. It seeps through the new paint in yellow spots.
Rolled or brushed finish that looks bumpy. It never looks like it came from a factory.
What you get
Bonding primer and cabinet-grade paint that resists chips and scratches. It wipes clean without scuffing.
All grease removed before sanding. Paint goes on clean and stays that way.
Sprayed finish that looks like it came from a cabinet shop. No brush marks, no bumps.
