Cabinet Refinishing in Chicago with a Furniture Quality Finish

Cabinet refinishing should read as bespoke millwork rather than a quick repaint. Doors and drawers are cataloged and prepared before receiving a smooth durable finish.

02Selected cabinetry

A new finish that still reads as millwork.

These kitchens show even color and controlled sheen across broad surfaces. Detailed profiles and edges receive the same attention.

A controlled finish from preparation to reassembly.

Removable components are cataloged and prepared. Fixed frames are isolated and corrected in place. We inspect broad surfaces, molded edges, and reflected light before reassembly.

LocalChicago field notes

A controlled finish for kitchens that remain part of the home.

Cabinet refinishing is planned around access, ventilation, and daily use. Removable parts are cataloged while fixed frames are prepared in place.

Component control

Doors and drawers are labeled before removal. The system preserves placement through finishing and reassembly.

Occupied home planning

Dust control and a defined work zone protect adjacent rooms. The schedule is agreed before the kitchen is taken out of service.

Existing coatings

Adhesion tests help identify the preparation and primer route. A finish is never specified from color alone.

05Common questions

What to know about cabinet refinishing.

01Will the finish show brush marks?

Our cabinet process is designed for a smooth, furniture quality result using controlled spray application on removable components and precise finishing on fixed elements.

02Can you change dark cabinets to a light color?

Usually, yes. We evaluate the existing coating and wood condition, then build the appropriate bonding, blocking, and finish system.

03Do you replace hardware?

We can reinstall existing hardware or coordinate new pulls and hinges when specifications are supplied before production.
