Updating Historic Kitchens in La Grange

Many Colonial and Craftsman Bungalow homes in neighborhoods like the Stone Avenue Corridor retain their original kitchen cabinetry. These cabinets were built with high-quality wood that lasts much longer than modern particle board alternatives. A kitchen cabinet makeover allows you to modernize your kitchen while maintaining the character of your home.

La Grange

Refinishing in La Grange requires careful attention to the original joinery found in older cabinetry. We prioritize surface preparation because these historic wood surfaces require specific bonding primers to ensure a long-lasting finish.

Project Investment

Cabinet painting is a cost-effective alternative to full replacement, which is important when managing budgets for homes valued between $500k and $850k. You gain a new look for a fraction of the cost of a full remodel.

Local Insight

The original finish on many La Grange cabinets has been painted over several times over the decades. We strip these layers to reach the solid wood before applying a modern, durable finish.

Common Questions

Kitchen Cabinet Painting FAQ — La Grange

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.
Does cabinet painting require a permit in La Grange?
Painting existing cabinets does not usually require a permit from the Village of La Grange Building Department. If your project involves moving plumbing, electrical, or structural walls, we will handle the permit application process for those specific components.
How do you handle cabinetry quirks in older La Grange homes?
Homes from the 1890s to the 1960s often have cabinets with non-standard hinge placements or uneven frames due to house settling. We account for these details during the prep phase by adjusting doors individually to ensure they hang level and operate smoothly after the new finish is applied.
