Elmwood Park Cabinets Have Been Through a Lot
The kitchens in Elmwood Park are mostly original to the houses. That means 1920s and 30s cabinets with years of grease, grime and multiple layers of paint.
Old grease buildup
Decades of cooking leave a film on cabinet doors and frames. We degrease everything before sanding so the new paint doesn't peel.
Multiple old paint layers
Cabinets painted over and over with brushed latex. We sand through the layers to get a smooth base for the spray enamel.
Original wood cabinets
Many Elmwood Park kitchens have solid wood cabinets worth keeping. We bring back the detail instead of covering it up.
If your kitchen cabinets are from the 1920s or 30s, we treat them differently than modern ones. The process preserves the original wood while giving it a fresh look.

What Elmwood Park Homeowners Hate About Their Cabinets
Every cabinet job starts with someone who's frustrated. Here's what people complain about and what we deliver.
The problem
Latex paint was used over grease that wasn't cleaned off. The paint never bonded.
Roller or brush on a smooth door leaves texture. It's impossible to get a factory finish without spraying.
Enamel that wasn't allowed to cure or only one coat applied. Cabinets chip the first time you bump them.
What you get
Degreased, sanded, primed and two coats of enamel that bonds to the surface.
Professional spray application. No brush marks, no roller texture.
Cured enamel that doesn't chip or scratch. Wipes clean with a sponge.
Every Elmwood Park cabinet job gets this:
