Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing & Painting
If your cabinets or woodwork are structurally sound, refinishing beats replacement. We handle kitchen and bathroom cabinets, interior doors, and trim — including cabinet painting in Chicago and North Shore kitchens. We mask and protect the surrounding area, clean and degrease for adhesion, scuff-sand, then prime and apply durable coatings built for daily use. It’s the smart answer to refinish vs. replace cabinets.
Refinishing kitchen cabinets costs a fraction of replacing them, and in Evanston's older housing the original boxes are often better built than anything new you'd buy. We remove and label every door and drawer, clean and de-gloss the surfaces, then prep for adhesion before priming and spraying durable cabinet coatings. That means no peeling, no brush marks, and no drips — just a factory-smooth finish that holds up to daily use. We can refinish the cabinet boxes, doors, drawer fronts, and interior doors or trim in the same visit, so the kitchen and the woodwork around it match instead of clashing. Most kitchens take several days start to finish, and we protect the surrounding space throughout, then reinstall the doors as soon as the coating cures so you're back to normal quickly. If your cabinets are structurally sound, refinishing delivers a dramatic update — new color, new sheen, new hardware — without the cost, dust, and weeks of downtime that a full replacement brings.
