Tinley Park Cabinets Have Their Own Challenges
Tinley Park kitchens range from 1970s oak to newer thermofoil. Each one needs different prep to look good after painting.
1970s oak cabinets
Oak grain needs filler and extra sanding to get smooth. We use grain-filler so the final finish looks flat and modern.
Thermofoil peeling
Thermofoil doors peel at the edges. We can save them with special primer and paint, often cheaper than new doors.
Built-in humidity
Kitchens get steamy. We use cabinet-grade enamel that resists moisture so the finish doesn't peel.
Not sure if your cabinets are worth painting? We look at them and tell you straight, before we quote a price.

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
Old finish has broken down and grease soaks in. Painting over it just makes it worse.
The plastic wrap peels at the edges and looks cheap. New cabinets are expensive.
Dark grain lines show through light paint. It looks unfinished and dated.
What you get
Degreased, sanded and coated with cabinet-grade enamel that repels grease.
Special primer and paint bond to peeling thermofoil and make it look new again.
Grain filler and extra sanding produce a smooth, modern finish on oak.
