$5,000 Interior Kitchen Cabinet Painting and Refinishing in Geneva, IL: Restoring Durability & Beauty

Project Description

A&A Painting, Inc. recently completed an interior kitchen cabinet painting and refinishing project in Geneva, IL. The homeowners were dealing with persistent peeling and durability issues due to improper surface preparation by a previous company. After two unsuccessful paint jobs, they reached out to us for a long-term solution that would restore their cabinets’ durability and enhance the kitchen’s appearance. Over approximately seven workdays, we transformed their cabinets with high-quality materials and a meticulous cabinet painting process.

Interior Kitchen Cabinet Painting and Refinishing in Geneva, IL: A Durable, Professional Solution

This project involved 38 cabinet doors, drawer faces, and frames. Our process began with an extensive degreasing and sanding phase using our FESTOOL vacuum sander, ensuring minimal dust and a perfectly smooth surface. Unlike previous attempts that failed due to poor adhesion, we applied BIN Shellac primer for optimal bonding. Once primed, we finished the cabinets with ILVA 2K water-based lacquer (30 gloss top coat), providing a durable and professional-grade finish.

While we typically recommend spraying frames, this project required a different approach. Some cabinets had grooves and signs of wear, so we opted to brush and roll the frames while spray-finishing the doors and drawer faces for a flawless appearance. This interior kitchen cabinet painting and refinishing approach allowed us to achieve the best possible finish.

The homeowners selected a light, earthy two-tone color scheme:

A custom light off-white color to match existing trim work for island and trim
Sherwin-Williams Ethereal Mood (SW 7639) for the cabinets

Paints/Products Used

BIN Shellac Primer for superior adhesion
