What Makes Cabinet Painting a Job for Pros in River Forest
River Forest has some of the area's most beautiful older homes, many with original kitchen cabinetry that has lasted decades. Those cabinets have seen generations of cooking, family gatherings and daily wear. The varnish gets hard and glossy, the wood darkens, and the hinges collect years of grease. Rolling fresh colour over all that without proper prep is why so many DIY jobs fail within a year. Our crews deal with these cabinets every week, the same way we do on our kitchen painting jobs across the area.
Hardened varnish rejects paint
Old varnish gets rock-hard. We sand every door and frame so the primer can bond to the surface.
Kitchen grease hides in corners
You can't see it, but it's there. We degrease twice, getting into every corner and edge.
Dark wood needs blocking primer
Oak and walnut bleed through light paint. We use a stain-blocking primer to stop the grain showing. See our primer coating.
Brush strokes ruin flat panels
Flat cabinet doors show every brush mark. We spray them for a smooth, flawless finish.
Old hinges are painted shut
Previous painters painted over the hinges. We clean or replace them so doors open properly.
Cabinet interiors need attention too
If you want the insides painted, we do them too with the same careful prep and finish.

A River Forest-Area Cabinet Crew, Not a Call Centre
We're based in Broadview, just minutes from River Forest, so when you call about a kitchen off Lake Street or a home near the River Forest Country Club, you're talking to the people who will be standing in your kitchen. We know the housing stock here: the beautiful older homes with original wood cabinets, the updated kitchens with custom millwork, and the condos that need a fresh, modern look.
That same crew covers the neighbouring suburbs too, from Oak Park and Forest Park across to Maywood, Melrose Park and Elmwood Park. Same crew, same prep, same price list.

Cabinet Painting for River Forest Houses, Condos and Rental Units
One crew, three kinds of jobs. Whether it's the kitchen you cook in, the condo you're updating, or the unit you need ready for a new tenant, the prep and the finish are the same.
Houses and condos
Single-family homes and condos across River Forest. We paint one cabinet bank or the whole kitchen, including kitchen walls and trim if you want the full refresh. Neighbours in Elmwood Park and Norridge book the same package.
Office and retail kitchens
Break rooms, cafe counters and retail kitchenettes. We work evenings and weekends so you don't close, and we handle larger sites through our commercial interior painting team. Same setup in Franklin Park and Northlake.
Landlords and turnovers
Turnover cabinet painting is our fast work. Degrease, patch, spray, keys back to you. Most kitchen units are done in two days. Add touch-up painting for scuffs, or a full house painting package. Property managers in Arlington Heights and Schaumburg use us the same way.
We also run cabinet work across the rest of the county and out into the collar suburbs:
How We Paint River Forest Cabinets, Step by Step
Most of the work that decides how a cabinet job looks in two years happens before any paint goes on the doors. Here's the order we do it in, every single time.
Walk the kitchen with you
We look at every cabinet door, drawer and frame, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Lock the colours
Sample chips on a cabinet door, checked in daylight and kitchen light before anything is ordered.
Remove doors and drawers
Doors come off, drawers pulled, hardware bagged and labelled so everything goes back where it belongs.
Degrease and sand
Every surface stripped of kitchen film, then sanded for primer adhesion. This is the longest day.
Prime everything
Bare wood sealed, stains blocked, laminate bonded with the right primer for that surface.
Spray the doors off-site
Doors and drawer fronts sprayed in a dust-free setup for a factory-flat finish.
Paint the frames on-site
Cabinet frames brushed by hand, cut clean against the wall, while doors dry.
Reinstall and inspect
Doors back on, drawers adjusted, hardware attached, then you walk it and we fix anything.

Almost every call starts with one of these. Here's what's actually going on, and what your kitchen looks like once we're done.
Beautiful cabinets that look dated
River Forest has some gorgeous older cabinetry. We paint them in a modern colour and update the hardware for a classic look. Same treatment on Oak Park cabinets.
Sticky cabinets that won't clean up
Years of grease and cooking film have built up. We degrease, sand and prime so the new finish lasts. See our kitchen painting work.
