Kitchen wall problems we fix in Elk Grove Village
A fresh wall color is the quickest way to change how a kitchen feels. Our Elk Grove Village painters protect the cabinets and counters, fix the wall surface, and apply paint or wallpaper chosen to stand up to cooking and cleaning.
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.
Holes from moved shelves and hardware
Small repairs make the biggest difference in a repaint. Every hole and dent is filled and sanded flat.
Dated or peeling wallpaper
Loose seams and faded borders come off. Removal is slow, careful work so the wall underneath survives.
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.
Grease film on the walls
A sticky, yellowish film around the range keeps new paint from bonding. We wash it off with a degreaser and rinse before priming.
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.
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.
What the work covers
- Color and finish selectionColor samples and a sheen recommendation for kitchen walls, ceilings and trim.
- Wallpaper removalOld paper scored, steamed or soaked, peeled off and the paste washed away.
- DegreasingCooking film cleaned off so primer and paint can bond.
- PrimingBonding or stain-blocking primer where the wall needs it.
- Wall paintingWalls rolled and brushed with straight lines at every edge.
- Wallpaper hangingScrubbable paper installed level, pattern matched and smoothed out.
- Trim and cleanupTrim and doors painted as needed, then the room is cleaned and put back.
Finishes we offer
Stain-blocking primerUsed over stains and patches before the finish coats.
Vinyl and scrubbable wallpaperWallcoverings that tolerate wiping and splashes in a kitchen.
Kitchen-and-bath paintA good fit where steam and condensation are a daily thing.

Paint or wallpaperPaint is easiest to touch up; wallpaper adds pattern and works best away from the range.

Kitchen Wall Painting & Wallpaper questions from Elk Grove Village homeowners
Do you paint ceilings too?
Yes. Kitchen ceilings collect grease and water marks, so we often paint them along with the walls.
Do you hang wallpaper I've already bought?
We do. Let us know the brand or type so we can plan the right adhesive and prep.
Can I use my kitchen while you paint?
Usually. Some areas will be masked off, but you can typically cook in the evenings.
What does it cost to paint a kitchen?
We price after a walkthrough, since wallpaper removal and patching vary. The estimate is itemized.
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 work in my part of Elk Grove Village?
Yes. Our crews work across Elk Grove Village — ZIP 60007 — and nearby Itasca, Wood Dale, Schaumburg.
