Kitchen wall problems we fix in Bolingbrook
We paint and paper kitchens in Bolingbrook: 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.
Water stains on the ceiling
A water mark overhead is sealed first, then the whole ceiling is painted so the patch doesn't show.
Wanting wallpaper that holds up in a kitchen
Not every wallpaper belongs in a kitchen. We recommend washable or scrubbable papers and avoid delicate ones near the range.
A wallpaper border along the ceiling
A border at the top of the wall dates a kitchen fast. We remove it and blend the wall so no outline shows.
Uneven texture or old patches
If old patches flash through as dull spots, we skim, sand and prime the whole area for an even sheen.
Grease film on the walls
Paint rolled over kitchen grease peels and stays tacky. Degreasing is the first and most important step of our prep.
Colors that clash after new cabinets or counters
Once the counters or doors change, the walls usually need a new color to tie everything together.
Steam and moisture over the stove and sink
Walls near steam sources get a tougher finish so they hold up to condensation and wiping.

Kitchen Wall Painting & Wallpaper questions from Bolingbrook homeowners
How long does it take to paint a kitchen?
It depends on prep. Clean, sound walls go quickly; stripping paper and patching take longer.
Is wallpaper a good idea in a kitchen?
Yes, with the right paper and placement. Vinyl or scrubbable papers work well away from direct heat and water.
Which colors work well in a kitchen?
Warm whites and soft neutrals are popular, but the best color depends on your finishes and light.
Do you need to remove old wallpaper before painting?
In most cases. We take it off, wash off the paste and repair the wall before painting.

Prep, repairs and the number of colors drive the price. You get it in writing after we see the walls.
