About The Chicago Cabinet Painting Co.
Chicago Cabinet Painting keeps its focus on one job and works through it carefully, giving tired kitchen cabinets a fresh finish instead of a full remodel. Homeowners around Chicago call on Ariel and his crew when they want the look of new cabinetry without tearing the kitchen apart.
The work begins with a quote you can request from home. Once the plan is set, the team seals off the kitchen, removes and labels every door and drawer, and takes them back to the shop to spray a smooth, even coat. Frames are painted in place, and everything goes back cleanly after the finish has cured.
Clients keep pointing to the same things, how careful the prep is, how tidy the crew leaves the room, and how closely the timeline is honored. Ariel walks people through color choices and hardware options so the finished kitchen matches what they pictured.
Quality paint, fair pricing, and steady communication are what bring the referrals and repeat projects. Ask about free online estimates to see what a refreshed kitchen would take.

Additional Questions Answered
What kind of work does Chicago Cabinet Painting take on for homeowners?
The company refinishes kitchen cabinets, giving them a fresh, factory-smooth coat without a full remodel. That narrow focus is the point, and it shows in the results. As Jacob Black put it, "They only specialize in kitchen cabinet painting and they do it very well!" Tierney Goedert added that "The quality of their work is top-notch", which is the feedback that keeps coming back.
How much of a change can Chicago Cabinet Painting make to a dated kitchen?
The change can be dramatic, turning worn cabinets into what feels like an entirely new room. Homeowners describe the finished kitchen as brand new rather than simply repainted. Laura R wrote that "I feel like I have a brand new kitchen!" after the crew wrapped up. That transformation, at a fraction of a remodel, is what most clients are after when they call.
How does Chicago Cabinet Painting protect a home during the project?
The crew masks and seals the kitchen before any spraying starts, then leaves it clean at the end. Prep and cleanup come up again and again in reviews. Allison Gaynor noted "how well they cleaned up once they were done", and that care for the space is a big reason homeowners feel comfortable having the work done while they live there.
What does the Chicago Cabinet Painting process look like from start to finish?
The team removes and labels every door and drawer, sprays them at their own shop, and reinstalls once the finish cures. Frames are painted in place and the kitchen goes back together cleanly. Jay described how they "labeled all hardware and took the doors and drawers back with them to paint at their facility", then returned to reinstall, which keeps the finish smooth and consistent.
Is Chicago Cabinet Painting easy to communicate with during a job?
Yes, clients consistently describe quick, clear communication throughout the project. The team lays out each step and stays reachable while the work is underway. Megan Leavell wrote that "Ariel was always quick to respond to texts or emails", which matches how other homeowners describe the experience. That responsiveness is part of why the process tends to feel smooth from quote to reinstall.
Is Chicago Cabinet Painting priced fairly compared with other options?
Yes, pricing tends to land well below a full remodel and often below competing quotes. Homeowners repeatedly call the estimates fair and accurate. Jessie Montz noted that "Another company quoted me $3000 more" before choosing this crew. For many clients the value of a refreshed kitchen at that price is the deciding factor over replacing cabinets outright.
How well does Chicago Cabinet Painting's finish hold up over time?
The finish is built to last, and reviewers report it staying crisp long after the crew leaves. Careful prep and quality materials carry a lot of the weight here. Anne Marie OKelley wrote that "They also use a very high-quality paint", while Linda Otto described a finish "so smooth it almost looks metallic". Durable, clean results are a steady theme across the reviews.
Does Chicago Cabinet Painting help with choosing colors for the cabinets?
Yes, the team guides homeowners through color choices so the result fits the kitchen. Ariel offers specific suggestions rather than leaving clients to guess. Lisa N shared that "Ariel suggested Pale Oak" and that "it turned out beautifully". That hands-on color help, paired with hardware guidance, is why finished kitchens tend to match what people had in mind.
