Updating Lombard's Heritage Kitchens

The original woodwork in Westmore-Meyers ranches and downtown craftsman homes remains structurally sound. A kitchen cabinet makeover allows you to retain this quality while updating the aesthetic. We focus on proper surface prep to ensure paint adhesion on these older, dense wood surfaces.

Lombard

Refinishing is a logical choice for Lombard homes because the existing frames are often higher quality than new mass-produced units. We specialize in converting these dated, dark-stained surfaces into clean, modern finishes.

Project Investment

Cabinet refinishing is a high-impact project that aligns with home values between $350k and $600k. It provides a significant visual update while keeping the cabinet painting cost well below that of a full cabinet replacement.

Local Insight

The 1950s and 1960s homes in Lombard often have very specific wood species under their original stain. We test these finishes early because some older sealers require specialized primers to prevent bleed-through.

Common Questions

Kitchen Cabinet Painting FAQ — Lombard

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 for painting my kitchen cabinets in Lombard?
Cabinet painting and refinishing are considered cosmetic updates. You generally do not need a permit from the Village of Lombard Building Department for painting existing woodwork.
Can you paint the cabinets in my 1940s downtown Lombard home?
Yes. We have extensive experience with the older wood types found in these homes. We use specific cleaning and priming steps to ensure the paint bonds to the wood despite decades of old cleaning products or wax buildup.
