Brookfield Kitchens Have Their Own Style
Brookfield is full of mid-century homes with original wood cabinets, plus some newer builds with thermofoil and laminate. Each needs a different approach.
Grease buildup on old wood
Older Brookfield kitchens have years of cooking grease on the cabinet surfaces. We degrease thoroughly so the primer and paint actually stick.
Laminate and thermofoil
Newer Brookfield homes often have laminate or thermofoil cabinets. These need special primers to bond, which we carry in the truck.
Original hardware
Many Brookfield homes still have original brass and ceramic hardware. We remove, clean and reinstall everything so your cabinets look original again. See kitchen painting in Brookfield.
If your cabinets were installed before 1978, they may have lead paint under the top layers. Our crews follow safe prep on those, which is one more reason not to hand this to somebody working out of a trunk.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With

The problem
Years of cooking grease that you can't scrub off, making paint impossible to stick.
Previous paint jobs that are flaking off because nobody used the right primer.
Previous painters used rollers or brushes, leaving visible texture that looks cheap.
What you get
Every cabinet fully degreased so the primer and paint actually bond.
Bonding primer and two coats of enamel that won't peel or chip.
Sprayed enamel with no brush marks, looks like new cabinets.
