About N Hance Of Chicago
N-Hance of Chicago transforms kitchens across the greater Chicago metro with cabinet painting, refacing, and refinishing services that deliver factory-grade results in days rather than weeks. Owner Tom Seeger and his son Ryan lead an experienced team of in-house technicians who remove cabinet doors to a controlled finishing facility, spray a proprietary acrylic polyurethane tint base, and seal every surface with an ultraviolet-cured polyurethane topcoat that hardens on contact.
The company also builds custom islands, pantry cabinets, and pull-out storage solutions, making it possible to expand and modernize an existing kitchen layout without a full renovation. Customers across Evanston, Hinsdale, Schaumburg, Palatine, and dozens of surrounding communities consistently describe projects completed on schedule, minimal dust thanks to sealed work areas and air purifiers, and finishes that still look new years after installation.
Backed by a 7-year warranty, an EPA Lead-Based Paint Certification, and more than thirteen years as a locally owned franchise operation, N-Hance of Chicago offers free in-home and virtual estimates to homeowners ready to refresh their cabinetry without the cost and disruption of full replacement.

Additional Questions Answered
What sets N-Hance of Chicago's cabinet finishing process apart from standard painters?
Customers describe results that resemble factory-installed cabinetry. Scott Guziec noted the team sealed and tented his entire kitchen, ran an air purifier, and produced zero dust while transforming dark brown cabinets to white with perfect inside edges. The UV-cured topcoat hardens instantly, so homeowners regain use of their kitchens the same day.
How does N-Hance handle projects that go beyond a simple color change?
Several customers needed more than refinishing. Matt Sperry had a custom coffee cabinet designed and built from scratch. Marie Considine received new doors, custom pull-out shelves, and a dedicated step-stool space inside a pantry cabinet. Aimee Schnabel had her team add pantry roll-out drawers plus soft-close hardware across kitchen and bathroom cabinets, all completed in about a week.
How responsive is the N-Hance team when questions or concerns come up during a project?
Review after review highlights quick communication. Andrea Field praised Tom for the initial quote and Ryan for scheduling follow-up, while Kevin E. called the entire process seamless from quote to installation. Multiple customers describe daily check-ins from on-site technicians and same-day replies to texts and emails from the office.
What happens if something needs a touch-up or repair months or years after the project?
N-Hance backs its work with a 7-year warranty, and customers confirm the company follows through. Ray Giese returned six years after his original project with heavy wear under the sink and around the garbage bin. The team sanded and repainted those areas to match the original color. Arlene Frumkin called years later for a minor repair and found the company accommodating with no questions asked.
How has N-Hance addressed the rare negative experience?
When Megan Johnson left a 1-star review about a two-month delay installing a single drawer, Ryan responded publicly with a detailed explanation. He acknowledged the communication shortfall, described the complexity of matching a custom drawer to a 2019 refinishing job, and outlined process changes to set better timing expectations on smaller requests.
What do customers say about the team members who work inside their homes?
Crew members like Dio, Adam, Brady, Seamus, Don, and Roberto are called out by name dozens of times. Lana Friedman noted Don arrived at 7:30 every morning and let her know when he was on his way. C Pham described every team member as skilled and customer focused. The pattern across reviews points to an operation that hires, trains, and retains experienced tradespeople.
What is N-Hance of Chicago's licensing and business standing?
N-Hance of Chicago is registered with the Illinois Secretary of State as an active corporation (File No. 68832004) since December 2012. Illinois does not require a state-level painting or cabinet refinishing license. The Houzz profile notes an EPA Lead-Based Paint Certification and a City of Chicago contractor license.
