Kitchen wall problems we fix in Hanover Park
Kitchen walls get grease, steam and fingerprints that bedroom walls never see, so the prep and the paint have to be different. In Hanover Park we degrease, patch and prime, then finish walls and ceilings in a washable satin or semi-gloss, or hang a scrubbable wallcovering.
Holes from moved shelves and hardware
Small repairs make the biggest difference in a repaint. Every hole and dent is filled and sanded flat.
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.
Uneven texture or old patches
Visible patches, roller marks and uneven texture are sanded and skim-coated so the new finish looks consistent.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Kitchen Wall Painting & Wallpaper questions from Hanover Park 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.
Which colors work well in a kitchen?
Colors that work with your cabinets, counters and floors. We bring samples and test them on your wall in your light.
Can you paint my kitchen cabinets too?
Yes, as a separate job. Doors are removed and sprayed while the walls are painted on site.
What paint finish is best for kitchen walls?
A washable satin suits most kitchen walls. Behind the stove and sink, semi-gloss holds up better.
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.
Do I need a Hanover Park-registered contractor for kitchen painting job?
All contractors must be registered and bonded with the Village before a building permit is issued; apply via Inspectional Services. We take care of that before work starts.
Do you work in my part of Hanover Park?
Yes. Our crews work across Hanover Park, including Ontarioville — ZIP 60133 — and nearby Bartlett, Roselle, Bloomingdale.
