Joliet Cabinets Have Their Own Challenges
Joliet kitchens range from 1920s charm to 2000s builder-grade. Each type needs a different approach to cabinet painting.
Older wood cabinets
Homes in Joliet's older neighborhoods often have solid wood cabinets with a worn finish. We sand them properly so the new paint stays put and looks factory-new.
Grease from years of cooking
Kitchen cabinets near the stove have years of baked-on grease. Standard cleaning won't cut it. We degrease twice so paint can actually stick.
Bathroom vanity moisture
Bathrooms in older Joliet homes hold moisture. Regular paint peels off vanity doors. We use the right paint that resists humidity and wipes clean.
Kitchen cabinet painting is one of the most disruptive projects for a family. We work efficiently and keep the mess contained so you can still use your kitchen.

All doors off, hinges bagged and labeled. Frames prepped for painting.
Degrease and clean
Every surface scrubbed with industrial degreaser. Paint won't stick to grease.

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 cabinets look like when we pack up.
The problem
Hand-painted cabinets always show brush strokes. Looks fine from a distance, terrible up close.
Inadequate prep and cheap paint. Sticks to the grease, not the wood. Chips right off.
Too much paint on the edges. Hinges don't align. Cabinet doors stick or don't close.
What you get
Sprayed doors have no brush marks. The finish looks like it came from a factory.
Proper prep and two coats. The paint bonds to the cabinet, not the grease on top.
We paint edges carefully. Doors rehang straight and close with no sticking.

What the Cabinets Look Like When We Leave
