Kitchen wall problems we fix in Naperville
A fresh wall color is the quickest way to change how a kitchen feels. Our Naperville painters protect the cabinets and counters, fix the wall surface, and apply paint or wallpaper chosen to stand up to cooking and cleaning.
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.
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.
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.
Cracks around windows and doors
Hairline cracks at corners of openings are opened up, taped or filled and sanded smooth before paint.
Uneven texture or old patches
Bumpy walls from past repairs are smoothed with a thin skim coat before priming.
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.
