What Makes Cabinet Painting Trickier Than It Looks in Riverside Homes
Riverside has a lot of historic and mid-century homes with original wood cabinets, some of them built when the village was first developed around the Des Plaines River. The cabinets have been through decades of family use, and the surfaces are worn, greasy and sometimes damaged. Rolling paint over that without proper prep is why many cabinet jobs fail within months. We handle these surfaces the same way we do on our cabinet painting jobs across the county.
Grease film blocks adhesion
Kitchen cabinets collect a film that standard paint won't grip. We degrease twice before sanding so the primer sticks.
Glossy laminate rejects paint
Shiny cabinet surfaces need a scuff-sand and a special bonding primer. Skip that and the new paint slides off.
Wood tannins bleed through
Oak and maple cabinets have natural tannins that turn white paint yellow. We seal them with a stain-blocking primer. See our primer coating.
Brush strokes show on doors
Brushed cabinet doors always show lines. We spray the doors flat for a finish that looks factory-made.
Old hardware leaves shadows
Pulls and hinges that have been on for decades leave dark spots. Those get filled and sealed before painting.
Edges chip from daily use
The edges of cabinet doors take the most wear. We sand them round and apply extra coats so they hold up longer.

Cabinet Painting for Riverside Houses, Rentals and Business Kitchens
One crew, three kinds of cabinet jobs. Whether it's your home kitchen, a rental unit you need turned over, or a commercial kitchen that needs a facelift, the prep and the finish are the same.
Home kitchens and bathrooms
Historic homes and ranches across Riverside. We paint kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and built-in shelving. One room or the whole house, including kitchen painting and bathroom painting. Neighbours in Stone Park and Hillside book the same package.
Business and commercial kitchens
Restaurants, cafes and breakrooms in Riverside's commercial areas. We work after hours so you don't close, and we handle larger sites through our commercial painting team. Same setup in Cicero and Berwyn.
Landlords and turnovers
Cabinet painting is one of the fastest ways to refresh a rental kitchen. Doors sprayed, frames brushed, keys back to you in days. Add touch-up painting before listing photos. Property managers in Chicago and Franklin Park use us the same way.
We also run cabinet work across the rest of the county and into the collar suburbs:
How We Paint Riverside Cabinets, Step by Step
The order of operations is everything when painting cabinets. Get it wrong and the finish fails in a year. Here's how we do it, every time.
Walk the kitchen with you
We inspect every door, drawer and frame, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Pick colours and sheen
Samples on your actual cabinet wood, checked in daylight and under your kitchen lights.
Remove doors and hardware
Doors come off their hinges, hardware bagged and labelled, drawer fronts pulled out.
Degrease and scuff-sand
All surfaces washed with a degreaser, then sanded so the primer has something to grip.
Spot fill and seal
Dents filled, edges smoothed, tannin-blocking primer on the raw wood spots.
Spray the doors
Doors laid flat in our spray booth or off-site, two coats applied with an HVLP gun.
Brush the frames
Cabinet bases and face edges painted by hand to match the sprayed doors.
Rehang and inspect
Doors back on, hardware reinstalled, then we walk every door and drawer with you.
The Cabinet Problems Riverside Homeowners Call Us About
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.
Greasy, yellowed cabinet surfaces
Years of cooking grease and nicotine turn white cabinets brown and make them sticky. We degrease and seal them so the new paint stays clean. Same treatment on kitchen painting jobs.
Dark wood cabinets that date the kitchen
Old oak or maple cabinets make a kitchen feel dark. A fresh colour lightens the whole room and makes it feel larger.
A kitchen that feels updated without the cost of new cabinets
A smooth, sprayed finish on the doors and a brushed finish on the frames. The whole kitchen looks like it has new cabinets.
Cabinets you can wipe clean without damaging the finish
A hard, washable topcoat that stands up to daily kitchen use and wipes clean with a damp cloth.
