Cabinet problems a paint job fixes
If your Roselle cabinets are solid but the color is tired, painting is the fastest way to a new kitchen. Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed off-site, frames are painted in place, and you keep your counters and layout.
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.
Sticky, greasy cabinet doors
Doors that feel tacky around the stove need a deep degrease first. It is the step that decides whether the new finish lasts.
Painted without removing the doors
Hinges painted over and edges skipped — a common shortcut. Our doors come off, and hinges are cleaned or replaced.
Dark kitchen
Light painted cabinets reflect light across the room — the cheapest way to brighten a dark kitchen.
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.
Brush marks and drips
A previous DIY job with brush strokes and runs can be sanded smooth and sprayed for an even, factory-like finish.
Worn finish around handles
Bare wood around pulls and the trash pull-out gets repaired and primed, and new hardware keeps hands off the paint.

- Door and drawer removalWe remove and number every door and drawer front so each one goes back in its spot.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting questions from Roselle homeowners
My cabinets have old paint. Is that safe to sand?
On homes built before 1978 we treat old paint as possibly lead-based: plastic containment, no dry power sanding and HEPA cleanup.
Painted or stained cabinets — which is better?
Paint suits modern colors; stain suits warm wood. A painted kitchen with a wood-toned island is a popular middle ground.
Do you paint bathroom vanities too?
We do. Many clients add the vanities once they see the kitchen.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
Most kitchens take about a week. You can use the counters and appliances the whole time — only the doors are away.
Is it smelly?
We use waterborne cabinet coatings with low odor, and the doors are sprayed outside your home.
Do I need a Roselle-registered contractor for cabinet painting?
Contractors must register with the Village via Cloudpermit and be licensed: surety bond, certificate of insurance naming the Village, $75 fee. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for cabinet painting in Roselle?
It depends on the scope. Roselle's rule in short: Permit required for projects including bathroom and kitchen remodeling, electrical and plumbing work; also water heater, roof, HVAC. We handle the permit when one is needed with Development & Engineering Services (Building & Zoning).
Do you work in my part of Roselle?
Yes. Our crews work across Roselle — ZIP 60172 — and nearby Bloomingdale, Hanover Park, Schaumburg.
