Why Cabinet Refinishing Goes Wrong Without a Pro
Cabinet refinishing looks simple until you actually do it. Old grease sits deep in the wood, factory finishes fight new paint, and one wrong sanding pass burns through the veneer. We've refinished hundreds of kitchens across Cook County and know exactly where amateur jobs fail — usually within six months when the paint starts peeling near the handles. That's why homeowners call us instead of guessing. For walls that need more than paint, we also handle Drywall Installation Service in Franklin Park, IL before any color goes on.
Grease Soaks Into Cabinet Wood
Cooking grease doesn't just sit on the surface — it soaks in. If it isn't fully pulled out before priming, the new finish blisters and peels within months. We use degreasers and a full sand prep so the paint actually sticks.
Factory Finish Repels New Paint
Most cabinets come with a factory lacquer or varnish that repels paint. Without sanding and a bonding primer, the new coat slides right off. Our prep step removes that barrier so the finish locks in.
Skipping Primer Causes Yellowing
Kitchen cabinets sit in heat and steam daily. If the primer is skipped or the wrong one is used, the wood tannins bleed through and turn the white paint yellow in under a year. We use stain-blocking primer on every job.

What You Get When You Book Cabinet Refinishing With Franklin Park Painting
Every cabinet refinishing job we do covers the full process from tear-down to final walkthrough. We don't just paint over the surface — we prep, repair, and finish so it holds up for years.
Doors and Drawers Removed
Every door and drawer comes off before any work starts. This lets us finish all sides evenly and keeps paint from sealing the cabinets shut.
Full Degrease and Sand
We scrub every surface with a heavy-duty degreaser, then sand the wood and frames. This step is what makes the new finish actually bond to the cabinet.
Cracks and Dents Filled
Old cabinets usually have dings, chips, and small cracks near the hinges. We fill every one with wood filler and sand it smooth before priming.
Bonding Primer Applied
A stain-blocking, bonding primer goes on every surface — doors, frames, and drawer fronts. This stops wood tannins from bleeding through and gives the paint a surface to grip.
Spray Finish for Smooth Results
We spray the cabinet doors and drawer fronts for a factory-smooth finish. Frames are brushed and rolled carefully to match the same look. No brush marks, no roller texture.
Reinstall and Final Walkthrough
Once everything cures, we reinstall the doors and drawers, check alignment, and walk the kitchen with you. If anything needs a touch-up, we handle it before we leave.
Why Franklin Park Homeowners Hire Us Over General Contractors
- We only do painting and refinishing. Cabinets, walls, ceilings, and exteriors — that's our trade. We're not a general contractor squeezing in a paint job between other work.
- Every job is fully insured. If anything gets damaged in your kitchen, you're covered. No handshake deals, no excuses.
- We prep like it matters. Degreasing, sanding, and priming aren't optional steps for us. They're the reason our finishes last.
- We spray doors, not brush them. Spraying gives the same smooth finish you'd get from a factory. Brushing leaves marks you'll see every day.
- We work around your kitchen. Most jobs take 3–5 days. We keep the workspace clean and leave your kitchen usable each evening.
- You get a written estimate up front. No surprise charges after the job starts. The price we quote is the price you pay.
- We stand behind the work. If something goes wrong with the finish, we come back. That's how we've built our name in Franklin Park.
