Kitchen wall problems we fix in Aurora
We paint and paper kitchens in Aurora: old wallpaper stripped, cracks and holes repaired, grease film cleaned off and a kitchen-rated paint rolled on with clean lines at the cabinets, backsplash and trim.
Peel-and-stick wallpaper that is lifting
Curling stick-on paper comes off, the wall is cleaned of adhesive and prepped for a finish that holds.
Cracks around windows and doors
Corner cracks that keep returning get mesh tape and joint compound, not just caulk.
Colors that clash after new cabinets or counters
New cabinets or counters often make the old wall color look wrong. We help you pick a color that works with both.
Paint that won't wipe clean
If every splash leaves a stain, the wall probably has a low-sheen paint. A kitchen-rated enamel cleans up with a damp cloth.
A wallpaper border along the ceiling
Removing an old border often leaves a paste line or paint edge. We clean, patch and paint so the wall reads as one color.
Steam and moisture over the stove and sink
Moist areas need a paint that resists mildew and tolerates frequent cleaning. Semi-gloss or a kitchen-and-bath paint works well there.
Wanting wallpaper that holds up in a kitchen
Paper behind a breakfast table or on an accent wall works well. Close to the cooktop, we suggest paint or a tougher wallcovering.

Kitchen Wall Painting & Wallpaper questions from Aurora homeowners
Can you paint my kitchen cabinets too?
We do cabinets as their own project; coordinating them with the walls saves time.
Do you paint ceilings too?
We do, and it usually brightens the whole room. Stains get a primer first.
Is wallpaper a good idea in a kitchen?
It can be. Choose a washable wallcovering and keep it off the wall right behind the cooktop.
Do you need to remove old wallpaper before painting?
We recommend removal. In rare cases, well-bonded paper can be sealed and painted, but it's rarely the best choice.
Can I use my kitchen while you paint?
Yes, with some limits. We'll tell you which days the range or sink area will be off-limits.
Do I need a Aurora-registered contractor for kitchen painting job?
Contractors must be registered/licensed with the City (application, required testing if applicable, proof of insurance naming the City as additional insured). Homeowners may act as own contractor if owner-occupied 6+ months with a Homeowner Liability Waiver. We take care of that before work starts.
