Project Description

Powers Painting & Decorating completed a professional kitchen cabinet painting project for Steve’s home in Schaumburg, IL, transforming dated cabinets into a stunning, factory-quality finish. The 5-day project included cabinet refinishing with grain filling, premium Italian wood coatings, and a complete kitchen wall refresh—breathing new life into this mid-1980s suburban home.

Background/Story:

Steve contacted Powers Painting & Decorating looking to update his kitchen without the expense and disruption of a full renovation. His cabinets were functional but showed their age, and he wanted a smooth, modern finish that would stand up to daily use in his family home. With two doodles as part of the household, durability was just as important as appearance.

The home sits in a well-established Schaumburg subdivision with tree-lined streets and families who take pride in maintaining their properties. Steve wanted his kitchen to reflect that same care and attention to detail. After meeting with the Powers Painting & Decorating team and reviewing the kitchen cabinet painting process, he moved forward with confidence, knowing the work would be done right.

Powers Painting and Decorating is a fantastic company to work with. We hired them to paint our cabinets. From time of estimate to the finished product, they were quick and efficient. Gary, Don and John knocked it out of the park. These gentlemen were on time, professional, do extremely clean work and explained every step of the process along the way. Communication with the company and painters was exceptional. I would not hesitate hiring Powers Painting and Decorating again for any future projects. They are top notch!
