Define your cabinet-painting scope

Keep included and retained surfaces identifiable.
  • Door details
    Identify faces, edges and retained features.
  • Drawer fronts
    Distinguish fronts from interior components.
  • Frames
    List the fixed surfaces to be finished.
  • Exposed sides
    Include end panels and island sections.
  • Interior boundaries
    Choose backs, shelves and cabinet interiors.
  • Other components
    Specify toe kicks and hardware decisions.

Painting examples

General painting reference photos. Project scope and finishes are agreed individually.

Decisions for the cabinet project

  • Preserve
    Mark details and surfaces to retain.
  • Describe
    Share facts and unknown coating concerns.
  • Assess
    Resolve suitability and preparation questions.
  • Arrange
    Plan handling, access and protection.
  • Care
    Request coating-specific return-to-use guidance.
Request your Highland Park cabinet estimate
Describe your Highland Park cabinet project using the form, 224-395-4544 or brushandbrightpaint@gmail.com. Include retained details, known finish information and any uncertainties. Name and email are required; phone is optional. Ask for an estimate based on the accepted cabinet surfaces.
SMS consent is optional. Leave the checkbox unchecked if you do not wish to receive text messages. Read our Privacy Policy.
Compare refinishing options with the cabinets you have
Record the details that should remain visible or untouched
Identify decorative features, hardware and adjacent finishes you want to retain. Mark which cabinet faces receive paint and which do not. Discuss existing grain or texture before assuming the new color will remove it. A smoother appearance may require a different scope, and a perfectly flat finish should not be taken for granted.

Bring uncertain history into the assessment
Share reliable labels or previous-work information when available. Describe peeling, lifting material, swelling and loose components, but do not scrape or sand an unknown coating for an inquiry. Any assessment needed before disturbance should be resolved first. Painting does not restore failed cabinet material or fix a mechanical problem.

Agree preparation for the surfaces being kept
Ask how cleaning, retained coatings and adhesion will be evaluated, including whether a discreet compatibility check is appropriate. Do not assume every substrate can receive the same system. Specify fronts, backs, edges, frames and exposed panels in the estimate, with interiors and hardware changes treated as explicit choices rather than automatic inclusions.

Plan handling and care alongside protection
Explain which storage and kitchen functions matter during the work. Ask what needs clearing, where work occurs and how doors and fronts are managed. Identify nearby surfaces needing protection. Request instructions for reassembly, ordinary handling and cleaning tied to the chosen coating; touch-dry appearance alone is not a complete return-to-use guide.

Very happy with the quality of work. They repaired small drywall spots, prepared the walls, and painted everything evenly. The paint lines around the doors and trims were sharp and clean. ★★★★★
Robert S.

  • Does cabinet age determine paint suitability?
    No. Current materials, condition and coating compatibility need assessment rather than an age-based assumption.
  • Can unknown finishes be identified from a photo?
    Not conclusively. Photos may help describe the project, but further assessment can be necessary.
  • Will every old repair disappear after painting?
    Not automatically. Discuss the existing surface and achievable appearance before agreeing preparation.
  • Are new hinges included with the finish?
    Only if agreed; hardware work and painting need distinct scope decisions.
