Cabinet problems a paint job fixes
We paint kitchen cabinets in Orland Park with durable cabinet-grade coatings, not wall paint. Proper cleaning, sanding and primer are what make the finish last — that is where most of our time goes.
Worn finish around handles
High-touch spots wear first. We repair the bare areas and can add new pulls in the same visit.
Yellowed white cabinets
Old white finishes yellow with age. A modern waterborne urethane or acrylic cabinet paint stays white.
Dark kitchen
Dark wood cabinets soak up light. A lighter painted finish makes a small kitchen feel bigger and brighter without new lighting.
Holes from old hardware
Switching from knobs to pulls leaves old holes. We fill and sand them flush before primer, so they disappear under the new finish.
Peeling or chipped paint
Chips along door edges and peeling by the sink come from skipped degreasing or the wrong paint. We take it back to a sound surface and start right.
Painted without removing the doors
Paint on the hinges, drips in the corners and doors stuck to the frames are signs of a paint job done in place. We take everything apart and redo it properly.
Brush marks and drips
We sand out brush marks and drips and spray the doors so the new finish is smooth and uniform.
What we do on the job
- Door and drawer removalDoors and drawer fronts come off, hinges and hardware are labeled and bagged.
- Cleaning and degreasingA full degrease of doors and frames, especially near the range and sink.
- Sanding and repairsWe sand for adhesion and repair dings, cracked filler and loose moldings.
- Bonding primerPrimer matched to the surface — wood, MDF or old paint — so the topcoat bonds.
- Frames and end panelsFace frames, end panels and crown molding are painted in place with masking and floor protection.
- New hardware and hingesWe can drill for new pulls and swap in soft-close hinges while the doors are off.
- Filling old hardware holesWe patch old hardware holes so they vanish under the new finish.

DetailKitchen Cabinet Painting in a 1990s two-story colonial, Orland Park
This one is a 1990s two-story colonial in Orland Park. What we started with: golden-oak cabinets with oak soffits above. What bothered the owners most: the dated wood tone. Finished kitchen: the same doors sprayed in cream uppers and walnut-stained lowers, new satin brass pulls; counters and floor stayed as they were. On site this meant cleaning and degreasing, sanding and repairs, plus new hardware and hinges.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting questions from Orland Park homeowners
Can you paint cabinets that are already painted?
Yes. We test the old paint for adhesion, remove anything that is failing, scuff-sand and prime before the new color.
Can you paint laminate or thermofoil cabinets?
Laminate can be painted with the right bonding primer. Peeling thermofoil cannot — we replace those doors instead.
Will there be brush marks?
No. Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed; frames get a fine finish on site.
Is it smelly?
Not much. We use low-odor waterborne coatings and spray the doors away from your home.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
Usually 4–7 working days, depending on the number of doors. The kitchen stays usable while the doors are in the spray shop.
Orland Park contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Contractors must be licensed with the Village before permits issue; apply via Civic Access portal. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for cabinet painting in Orland Park?
It depends on the scope. Orland Park's rule in short: Permit needed for remodeling; application lists electrical and plumbing contractors. We handle the permit when one is needed with Development Services Department - Building Division.
