Kitchen wall problems we fix in Hoffman Estates
Kitchen walls get grease, steam and fingerprints that bedroom walls never see, so the prep and the paint have to be different. In Hoffman Estates we degrease, patch and prime, then finish walls and ceilings in a washable satin or semi-gloss, or hang a scrubbable wallcovering.
Dated or peeling wallpaper
We take down tired wallpaper, wash off the adhesive and repair any torn drywall face before painting or repapering.
Peel-and-stick wallpaper that is lifting
Self-adhesive paper often lifts in steamy kitchens. We remove it, clean the residue and repaint or hang a pasted wallcovering.
Steam and moisture over the stove and sink
Peeling paint above the range or kettle is often moisture. We prime properly and use a finish rated for humid rooms.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Semi-gloss paintTougher and easier to scrub; good for trim and areas near the stove and sink.
Stain-blocking primerSeals water marks, smoke and grease shadows so they don't bleed through.

Kitchen Wall Painting & Wallpaper questions from Hoffman Estates homeowners
Can you paint my kitchen cabinets too?
Cabinet painting is a separate service with its own prep and spraying. We can schedule both together.
Is wallpaper a good idea in a kitchen?
Many kitchens use paper on an accent wall or near the table. We help you pick a type that handles cleaning.
What paint finish is best for kitchen walls?
Satin for most walls; semi-gloss for trim and spots that get scrubbed often. Flat paint is hard to clean in a kitchen.
Is lead paint a concern when repainting an older kitchen?
It can be in homes built before 1978. We follow lead-safe work practices: containment, wet methods and HEPA cleanup.
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.
Hoffman Estates contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Contractors must register through a BS&A Online Contractor account (annual registration form and documents) and submit the Contractor/Design Professionals Registration Form and a Workers Compensation Affidavit. No fee stated. We take care of that before work starts.

It depends on the scope. Hoffman Estates's rule in short: Kitchen remodels go through the Residential Remodel permit: submit plans (1/4 inch scale) of existing and proposed kitchen showing plumbing fixtures, outlets, appliances and panel, plus a scope of work or contract.
