Glencoe's trusted cabinet specialists
Glencoe is a North Shore suburb about 20 miles north of downtown Chicago, a small lakefront village of wooded ravines, winding tree-lined streets, and gracious homes, next door to the Chicago Botanic Garden. Cabinet painting, refacing, and refinishing are what we specialize in, not a service tacked onto general contracting, and that specialty is exactly what a Glencoe kitchen calls for. This is a community with real architectural pedigree, from Prairie School houses to grand estates, set among the wooded ravines and bluffs that give the North Shore its character. The kitchens inside homes like these deserve cabinet work that respects the house rather than fighting it.
The homes in Glencoe
Glencoe is known for its architecture. You will find grand older estates, a notable collection of Prairie School and mid-century modern houses, and classic colonials and Tudors set on large, wooded ravine lots, along with newer luxury builds. Homes here are almost always on the larger side, so kitchens tend to be generous, well-appointed rooms with space for a proper island and the storage a big household runs on, and the finish on the cabinetry becomes a real centerpiece rather than an afterthought.
Matching the color to the architecture
In homes with this much design pedigree, the cabinetry has to earn its place. A painted Shaker in white, off-white, sage, or a soft muted tone suits the traditional homes, while a clean Flat Panel sits beautifully in the Prairie and mid-century modern houses, whether you want a crisp all-white kitchen or something warmer in wood. There is usually room for a two-tone look as well, a painted perimeter with a stained white oak or walnut island that adds warmth and depth. 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
Even the finest older kitchens reach a point where they are ready for attention. The historic homes carry their years in settled cabinets, hardware painted over through decades of touch-ups, and layers of old finish, while plenty of kitchens were last updated in the 1990s or early 2000s and are now hitting the twenty-year mark, with finishes that have faded and a

Joe the owner is a pleasure to work with. The quoting process is meticulous and he helped me devise solutions and help me update the condo's look while keeping costs reasonable. Any issues from walkthrough is quickly addressed and Brayan from Joe's crew did a good job painting the various parts of the apartment. Will definitely work with them again and recommend Fulton Revival to anyone looking at painting jobs. Give them a call!

Joe and his team at Fulton Revivals were excellent and we are extremely pleased with the interior paint work done throughout our condo. They were professional and timely - communicating to us throughout the project. Joe had the team out quickly after project completion to address minor touch-ups post walk-through. Highly recommend and will utilize Fulton Revivals services for future work.

We recently had our kitchen cabinets refinished by Fulton Revivals. Working with Joe and Krystal was amazing and we couldn’t be happier with the results! They were professional, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Our cabinets look absolutely beautiful — it’s like we have a brand new kitchen! Their attention to detail and pride in their work truly show. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and outstanding service.

Glencoe questions
Frequently asked
- Do you do period-sympathetic cabinet work on Glencoe's architect-designed homes?
- Yes, and Glencoe is a place where that matters. The village holds an exceptional collection of Prairie School and period-revival homes, including the Ravine Bluffs development, so we treat the cabinetry as part of an architecturally significant house. We restore and repaint original inset face-frame work and butler's pantries, or refinish real wood to bring it back, always with an eye to what suits the home's period. The goal is work that respects the architecture, not a generic makeover.
- We've lived in our Glencoe home for decades and want to finally do the kitchen right. Where do we start?
- You start with an in-home Cabinet Design Consultation, and it is exactly the project Glencoe is full of. Many owners here raised their families in the house and are now modernizing the kitchen to stay, and we help you decide whether painting, refacing, or refinishing fits your cabinets and your goals. We lead with color and design, so we begin from the look you want, then build a finish worthy of a forever home.
- Our Glencoe kitchen still has 1980s stained oak. What are the options to update it?
- You have three good paths, and we walk you through them on site. Painting sprays your existing cabinets in a fresh color, refacing swaps in brand-new doors and drawer fronts in a style like Shaker or the recessed-panel Asher, and refinishing restores or re-stains the real wood if you want to keep it as wood. For a settled Glencoe home, we usually match the choice to the home's character and how long you plan to enjoy it.
- Do you contain the dust and mess for an occupied Glencoe home?
- Always. We seal the kitchen in a plastic enclosure with a negative-pressure machine vented out a window, so dust, fumes, and smell stay contained and leave the house rather than drifting through it. You can stay in your home the whole time, or travel if you prefer, since the kitchen stays sealed and secure. A white-glove, low-disruption process is standard on every Glencoe project.
