Updating Historic Kitchens Without Full Replacement

Many Colonial and Four-Square homes in The Highlands and Forest Hills retain their original kitchen layouts. Cabinet painting vs replacement allows you to keep this high-quality, period-appropriate millwork while modernizing the aesthetic. This approach avoids the structural disruptions that often accompany a full gut renovation.

Western Springs

A cabinet painting project in Western Springs focuses on prepping decades-old wood to accept modern, durable coatings. This process preserves the character of your home while providing a clean, contemporary finish that stands up to daily use.

Common Questions

Kitchen Cabinet Painting FAQ — Western Springs

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 Western Springs?
Painting existing cabinetry is considered a cosmetic interior finish and typically does not require a permit from the Village of Western Springs Building Department. If your project involves moving plumbing or electrical outlets for a kitchen cabinet makeover, those specific tasks require appropriate permits.
How do you handle older cabinetry found in Western Springs homes?
Homes from the early 1900s often feature custom-built, solid-wood cabinets that fit unique dimensions. We inspect these frames for structural integrity before starting any cabinet painting project to ensure the wood can support the new finish.
