Cabinet Refacing, Refinishing & Painting in Burr Ridge

Cabinet specialists who understand a Burr Ridge kitchen

Burr Ridge is a west suburb about 20 miles from downtown Chicago, an upscale, low-density village of large homes set on generous, wooded lots. Cabinet painting, refacing, and refinishing are what we specialize in, not a service tacked onto general contracting, and that specialty is exactly what a Burr Ridge kitchen calls for. It is a quieter, more spread-out kind of suburb, built up largely over the past few decades into a community of substantial, well-appointed homes with an upscale village center at its heart. The kitchens in homes like these tend to be large and design-forward, and they deserve cabinet work done with real care rather than rushed through as one line on a bigger remodel.

The homes in Burr Ridge

Burr Ridge is almost entirely large single-family homes on roomy lots. Much of the housing was built from the 1970s through the 2000s, with a steady wave of newer luxury homes and full rebuilds since, so the village skews toward larger, more recently built houses than most of its neighbors. Kitchens here are rarely short on space, which opens up room for a proper island, a butler's pantry, and the kind of layout a large household runs on, and it makes the finish on the cabinetry a real centerpiece rather than an afterthought.

Matching the color to the architecture

With kitchens this size, color and material carry the whole room. A painted Shaker in white, off-white, sage, or a soft muted tone keeps a large kitchen feeling fresh and current, and there is plenty of room for a two-tone look, a painted perimeter with a stained white oak or walnut island that adds warmth and depth. Many of the homes here were built in a heavier, more traditional style, and softening that toward something lighter and more current is some of our favorite work. A designer consultation comes with every sizable project. Together you land on a cabinet color that works with your floors, your trim, your light, and the age of the home.

Older kitchens, and the quirks we plan for

A lot of Burr Ridge kitchens are reaching the same point at once. The homes built through the 1990s and 2000s are now hitting the age where the original cabinetry has about run its course, with finishes that have darkened or faded, hinges that have loosened, and heavier, more ornate styles that have started to feel out of trend. In most of these homes the boxes are still solid, well-built cabinetry with good bones, which makes them strong candidates for refacing, refinishing, or a fresh painted finish, and worn or water-damaged areas can be repaired and refinished rather than replaced. You keep the layout you like and put the work into the surfaces you see and touch every day, and all of it gets noted at the first walkthrough so nothing catches you off guard mid-project.

More than the kitchen in a Burr Ridge home

A home this size usually has more woodwork worth caring for than just the kitchen. A lot of Burr Ridge projects grow to take in a butler's pantry, a mudroom, an office, a wet bar, or vanities throughout, all finished to match so the house reads as one considered whole. Burr Ridge is a straightforward run west from the Fulton shop in Pilsen, well within the service area, so getting a crew to your street is simple. Expectations get set from the very beginning, and from the first coat to the last, the only job is to meet them and exceed them.
