Project Description

Kitchen cabinet painting in Joliet, IL, completely redefined this warm, family-friendly home. Our team at Powers Painting & Decorating was invited to refresh a well-loved kitchen, transforming dated wood tones into a bright, modern, and inviting space.

We utilized shop-sprayed and on-site finishing to achieve a factory-fresh appearance while preserving the original kitchen layout.

From start to finish, our process emphasized cleanliness, communication, and craftsmanship—providing a stress-free experience and delivering the stunning results clients expect from every Powers Painting project.

A Fresh Look with Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Joliet, IL

Originally oak-toned, this kitchen needed a modern update. Our work brightened the room, complementing stainless steel appliances and new floors. The result: a crisp, like-new kitchen without a full remodel.

Project Scope

Initial Cabinet Assessment

We began by inspecting every cabinet surface — including doors, drawers, and boxes — to evaluate preparation needs and identify any wear or structural issues. This step ensured a smooth and consistent finish, helping us anticipate any necessary repairs before painting began.

Labeling & Removal

Each cabinet door and drawer front was carefully labeled and removed, then transported to our professional spray shop for treatment. This meticulous system ensures perfect reinstallation and maintains a dust-free environment for premium results.

Degreasing & Surface Preparation

We degreased, sanded, and caulked all surfaces for a smooth finish.

Priming

Two coats of shellac primer, on-site and in-shop, ensured lasting adhesion and durability.

Paint Application

We applied two coats of ILVA 2K 30. Doors and drawers were sprayed in our shop; cabinet boxes were painted on-site for a seamless finish.

Reinstallation

After proper curing, doors and drawers were reinstalled with care. The hardware was reattached exactly as it was removed, resulting in a flawless, factory-quality appearance that seamlessly blends beauty and function.

Paints & Products Used

We use only premium materials, affecting finish quality and longevity.

  • Paint Brand: ILVA 2K 30 – a high-performance, Italian cabinet coating with exceptional adhesion, smoothness, and chip resistance.
  • Color: OC-14 Natural Cream – a timeless neutral that creates warmth and light, beautifully complementing stainless appliances and natural flooring.
  • Primer: Shellac-based primer – provides stain blocking and a sealed foundation for long-lasting adhesion.

Each product was carefully selected for its lasting beauty and durability.

Results

The transformation was dramatic. The brighter cabinets made the kitchen feel larger and more welcoming.

 

Powers Painting was incredible to work with from start to finish. Very professional, great communication and always on time. We worked with Mike and Wade in the early stages of planning this project, and they really helped educate us on the order of events we should partake in for our kitchen reno which helped immensely. We also worked with Gary, Juan, Don and Bob with the painting of our cabinets and doors and they did an incredible job! You would think we bought brand new cabinets instead! We absolutely love our new kitchen and can’t thank the Powers Painting team enough. Would reccommend them for any home painting project. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
