A durable cabinet finish starts with degreasing, labeling, sanding, bonding primer, and controlled application—not simply painting over existing doors.
Cabinet Doors & Drawer Fronts
We label and remove doors and drawer fronts, prepare each surface, and apply a consistent finish before careful reassembly.
Cabinet Boxes, Trim & Islands
We protect floors and counters while finishing fixed cabinet boxes, end panels, crown molding, islands, and detailed trim.
Degreasing & Surface Preparation
Kitchen residue and old coatings are cleaned, dulled, repaired, and sanded so primer can bond to a stable surface.
Sanding, Repair & Bonding Primer
We address worn edges and minor surface defects, sand for adhesion, and use the appropriate bonding primer before finish coats.
Smooth Sprayed Cabinet Finish
Controlled spray application creates an even, furniture-like surface without heavy brush marks on doors and drawer fronts.
Color Updates & Hardware Coordination
We help coordinate the cabinet color with counters, backsplash, flooring, walls, and existing or replacement hardware.

Let Your Cabinets Set the Tone
Cabinets shape the look of a kitchen or bathroom. Careful preparation and a smooth new finish can update the room without the cost and disruption of complete cabinet replacement.
We hired them for interior painting, including walls, ceilings, trims, and doors. The attention to detail was excellent, especially around the baseboards and window trim. Highly recommend.

Cabinet Painting That Updates the Whole Room
Our mission is to bring greater visual value to existing cabinetry through precise painting, thoughtful color, and finishes that give kitchens and bathrooms a distinctive focal point.
Cabinet painting involves numerous surfaces that must come together consistently. Our experience helps us work carefully across doors, drawers, frames, panels, edges, and detailed areas while maintaining a unified appearance.
A refined cabinet finish is noticeable in its consistency. We pay close attention to preparation, smooth application, clean transitions, and even coverage so the completed cabinetry looks intentional from every viewpoint.
We understand how important kitchens and bathrooms are to daily life. Our team keeps the project organized, treats surrounding areas with consideration, communicates clearly, and remains attentive to the result you expect.
For Arlington Heights kitchens and built-ins, we coordinate cabinet color and sheen with countertops, flooring, backsplash, walls, and hardware, then use a preparation and coating system designed for frequent handling.
1. Do you provide cabinet painting services in Arlington Heights, IL?
Support:
Yes. Brush & Bright provides cabinet painting and refinishing for Arlington Heights kitchens, bathrooms, built-ins, doors, drawer fronts, cabinet boxes, islands, and suitable woodwork.
2. Do you offer free cabinet painting estimates?
Support:
Yes. We provide free estimates after reviewing the cabinet material, existing finish, number of doors and drawers, repairs, color, hardware, and desired finish.
3. How much does cabinet painting cost in Arlington Heights?
Support:
Cabinet painting cost depends on the number and size of doors and drawers, cabinet condition, repairs, finish type, color change, and whether interiors are included. We provide a written estimate after inspection.
4. How long does cabinet painting take?
Support:
Most cabinet projects take several days because cleaning, sanding, priming, curing, and reassembly each require time. Your estimate includes a schedule based on the kitchen and finish system.
5. Do I need to empty my cabinets?
Support:
We normally ask you to clear countertops and remove items that could be affected during masking or hardware removal. We explain exactly what to empty before the project starts.
6. What kind of prep work is included before painting?
Support:
Patching holes, sanding rough spots, cleaning surfaces, and priming where it's needed. Skipping prep is the most common reason a paint job looks bad within a year, so we treat it as part of the job rather than something extra.
7. Do you supply the paint, or do I need to buy it?
Support:
We handle sourcing the paint as part of the project unless you already have a color or brand in mind. If you'd rather buy it yourself, that works too. Just mention it before we finalize your estimate.
8. Do you offer low-VOC or eco-friendly paint?
Support:
Yes, low-VOC and zero-VOC options are available whenever you'd like them. They're worth considering if anyone in the house is sensitive to strong smells or you just want the odor to clear faster.
9. Are you licensed and insured?
Support:
Yes. Brush & Bright carries the licensing and insurance you'd expect from a professional painting contractor, and we can provide documentation before your project starts.
10. Do you guarantee your work?
Support:
We do. If something's off once we finish, whether that's a missed spot or an uneven line, let us know and we'll come back and make it right.
11. Can cabinets be painted year-round?
Support:
Yes. Cabinet refinishing is indoor work and can be scheduled year-round with proper ventilation, dust control, and the temperature conditions required by the coating system.
12. How do I choose a paint color?
Support:
If you're not sure where to start, we offer color consultations: bringing samples, talking through your lighting and existing finishes, and narrowing things down together. You don't need to walk in with a decision already made.
13. Do you refinish cabinets, or just paint walls?
Support:
Cabinet refinishing is a regular part of what we do. It's a faster, cheaper way to update a kitchen or bathroom than a full replacement, and it holds up well when the prep and spraying are done properly.
14. Is cabinet painting durable?
Support:
Durability depends on preparation and product choice. We clean, sand, use a bonding primer when required, and apply cabinet-grade finishes designed for frequent handling and cleaning.
15. Can you repair damaged cabinet surfaces?
Support:
We address worn edges and minor surface defects during preparation, then sand and prime before applying the finish. Describe any larger damage when requesting your estimate.
16. Do you handle older homes that might have lead-based paint?
Support:
Homes built before 1978 can have lead-based paint on them, and federal rules require contractors to follow lead-safe work practices whenever they disturb painted surfaces in a home that old. Let us know your home's approximate age when you request an estimate so we can plan the job accordingly.
17. Do you protect my floors and belongings while working?
Support:
Every time. Floors get covered, furniture gets moved or draped, and fixtures get taped off before we open a single can of paint.
18. Do you clean up when the job is finished?
Support:
Yes. Drop cloths, tape, and any debris leave with us, and the space looks the way you found it, just with fresh paint on it.
19. Do I need to be home while you work?
Support:
Not necessarily. A lot of clients hand over a key or a garage code and go about their day. We'll walk you through the plan ahead of time so you know what to expect when you're back.
20. How do I get on your schedule, and is a deposit required?
Support:
Once you approve an estimate, we'll lock in a start date. Spring and summer book up fastest, so it's worth reaching out early. A deposit is typically required to hold your spot, with the remainder due when the job's done.
