Kitchen wall problems we fix in Lisle
A fresh wall color is the quickest way to change how a kitchen feels. Our Lisle painters protect the cabinets and counters, fix the wall surface, and apply paint or wallpaper chosen to stand up to cooking and cleaning.
Grease film on the walls
Walls near the stove collect cooking oil you can feel with a fingertip. It has to come off completely before any coat goes on.
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.
Paint that won't wipe clean
Flat or matte paint in a kitchen marks easily and burnishes when scrubbed. We switch to a washable satin or semi-gloss.
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.
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.
Cracks around windows and doors
Hairline cracks at corners of openings are opened up, taped or filled and sanded smooth before paint.
Colors that clash after new cabinets or counters
We paint the walls last in a kitchen update, so the color is chosen against the finished cabinets and tops.
What the work covers
- Color and finish selectionColor samples and a sheen recommendation for kitchen walls, ceilings and trim.
- ProtectionWe mask the kitchen carefully and move small items out of the way.
- DegreasingCooking film cleaned off so primer and paint can bond.
- Patching and skim coatingHoles, cracks and dents filled; rough areas skimmed and sanded smooth.
- Ceiling paintingCeilings painted first, with stain-blocking primer over any water marks.
- Wallpaper hangingNew wallcovering hung on a primed wall with matched seams and trimmed edges.
- Trim and cleanupTrim and doors painted as needed, then the room is cleaned and put back.
Finishes we offer
Satin paintThe usual choice for kitchen walls: washable without being shiny.
Kitchen-and-bath paintFormulated for humid rooms with mildew resistance built in.
Semi-gloss paintMore shine and moisture resistance, so imperfections show a little more.
Paint or wallpaperPaint is easiest to touch up; wallpaper adds pattern and works best away from the range.
Stain-blocking primerUsed over stains and patches before the finish coats.
