Updating Glendale Heights Kitchens

Many houses built between 1960 and 1985 in Glendale Heights still have their original kitchen layout. Cabinet painting is the most efficient way to modernize these rooms without the demolition required for a full kitchen cabinet replacement.

Glendale Heights

Projects in this area typically involve prepping oak or maple cabinets installed decades ago to accept durable, modern paint systems. This process avoids the structural changes that come with removing old cabinetry.

Project Investment

With median home values in the $280k to $425k range, professional cabinet refinishing provides a high return on investment by updating the kitchen at a fraction of the cost of new cabinetry.

Local Insight

Glendale Heights homes often have high-quality cabinet boxes from the 1970s that are worth saving. We prioritize sanding and deglossing these specific wood types to ensure the new finish adheres properly.

Common Questions

Kitchen Cabinet Painting FAQ — Glendale Heights

How much does professional cabinet painting cost?
Our kitchen cabinet painting projects typically range from $6,000 to $60,000+, depending on the number of cabinet doors and drawers, the condition of the existing finish, and the level of prep work required. Every kitchen is different, so we recommend reaching out for a free in-home consultation where we can evaluate your cabinets and provide a detailed quote tailored to your project.
How long does cabinet painting take?
The timeline for cabinet painting varies depending on the size of your kitchen and the complexity of prep and finishes. Most projects are much quicker than a full kitchen remodel, but details like the number of doors, finishes, and layout can affect the schedule. Reach out for a personalized estimate on timing for your project.
How durable is the painted finish compared to new cabinets?
When done correctly with proper surface prep and a quality paint system, a professionally painted finish is very durable. The prep work is what most DIY jobs skip. We sand, degloss, prime, and apply two topcoats with light sanding between coats.
Do I need a permit from the Village of Glendale Heights for cabinet painting?
Painting cabinets is considered a cosmetic update. You do not need a building permit from the Village of Glendale Heights for this service.
My Glendale Heights home has original 1970s oak cabinets with deep grain. Can these be painted smoothly?
Yes. We use a grain-filling process during our prep stage to minimize the texture of the oak grain before applying the primer and finish coats.
