Updating Kitchens While Retaining Original Layouts

The Victorian and Tudor homes in downtown Wheaton often feature custom millwork that is difficult to replicate with modern manufactured cabinets. Cabinet refinishing allows you to update the aesthetic of these rooms without tearing out the original frames. This approach preserves the character of older homes in neighborhoods like Carlton of Wheaton.

Wheaton

Wheaton homeowners often choose to repaint high-quality original cabinets instead of pursuing full replacement. A professional finish combined with modern hardware provides a updated look while maintaining the integrity of the home's original design.

Project Investment

With median home values in Wheaton ranging from $500k to $900k, our cabinet painting projects provide a high return on investment compared to the total cabinet painting cost of a full kitchen gut.

Local Insight

The older housing stock in Wheaton often features oil-based finishes that require specific chemical bonding primers to ensure the new paint adheres long-term.

Common Questions

Kitchen Cabinet Painting FAQ — Wheaton

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 building permit from the City of Wheaton to paint my cabinets?
Generally, simple surface refinishing or painting does not require a permit. If your kitchen project involves removing walls or changing electrical or plumbing layouts, the City of Wheaton Building Division will require permits for that work.
My home in Wheaton is over 80 years old. Is it better to paint or replace the cabinets?
Older homes often feature high-density wood species that are not used in modern cabinetry. If the boxes are solid and the drawers function properly, painting is almost always the better option to maintain the architectural value of your home.
