What Makes Niles Kitchens Different to Paint
Niles has a mix of mid-century ranches and split-levels, plus some newer construction. Each has different cabinet materials that need different prep.
Oak and maple cabinets
Many Niles kitchens have oak or maple cabinets with heavy grain. That grain needs to be filled or primed properly or it telegraphs through the paint.
Grease buildup
Kitchens that have been used for decades have thick grease film on top of cabinets. That has to come off completely or the paint will peel.
Old hardware holes
Older cabinets often have multiple sets of hardware holes. We fill those before painting so you get a clean look with new hardware.
Homes built before 1978 can carry 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.

A Crew From Melrose Park, Not a Call Center

We work the near west and northwest suburbs every day and we know these houses. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on Ozark Avenue or over by the Golf Mill area. If a spot needs a touch-up later, we're close enough to swing back.
