What You Get When We Paint Your Cabinets
Book cabinet work in Morton Grove and this is the package. None of it is an add-on you pay extra for. Everything is spelled out in your free written estimate before we start.
Everything comes off the hinges and slides so we paint every edge and face.
Kitchen cabinets get greasy over time. We clean every surface so paint actually grips.
Old varnish and paint sanded dull so the primer bonds to the surface.
Bonding primer on bare wood and old finishes so the top coat doesn't peel.
Doors sprayed in our shop or on site so the finish is smooth, not brushed.
Cabinet frames and face frames painted by hand with a brush for even coverage.
If you supply new pulls or knobs, we install them when we rehang everything.
Every drop cloth picked up, then we walk it with you and fix anything you spot.

Morton Grove Kitchens Have Their Own Challenges
Morton Grove has a mix of older kitchens with original wood cabinets and newer ones with laminate or thermofoil. Each one needs a different prep approach.
Grease buildup on older cabinets
Older kitchens near Waukegan Road have years of cooking grease on the cabinets. We use heavy-duty degreaser and scrub every surface so the primer bonds properly.
Oak cabinets that bleed through
Morton Grove has a lot of oak cabinets from the 90s. Oak has a heavy grain that can bleed through paint. We use grain filler first to get a smooth surface. See kitchen painting.
Thermofoil that's peeling
Thermofoil cabinets peel at the edges over time. We strip the old thermofoil off, sand the MDF underneath, prime it, and paint it so it stays flat.
We also check for lead paint on older cabinets before we start sanding. That's standard for us, not an extra line item.

A Crew From Melrose Park, Not a Call Center
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Morton Grove is a straight shot up Dempster, which is why we can usually get out for an estimate the same week you call. The person who prices your job is the person you'll see spraying your cabinet doors.
We work the near west suburbs every day and we know these houses. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on Oak Avenue or over by Harrer Park. If a spot needs a touch-up later, we're close enough to swing back.

Crew didn't keep track of which door goes where. Now nothing lines up.
