Cabinet Refacing, Refinishing & Painting in Willowbrook

Cabinet specialists who understand a Willowbrook kitchen

Willowbrook is a young suburb that grew out of the Ridgemoor subdivision and incorporated in 1960, so its housing is a clean read for anyone planning a kitchen. The bulk of the single-family stock went up between the 1960s and the 1980s, condo and townhouse communities such as Lake Hinsdale Village were added from the 1970s into the late 1980s, and a wave of larger new-construction homes has filled the subdivisions along Route 83 and I-55 from the 1980s onward. The everyday building types are mid-century brick ranches and raised ranches, split-levels, two-story Colonial Revival and Georgian homes, townhouses, mid-rise condos, and the bigger homes of the newer developments.

Because the town was built in a compressed span, the cabinetry is easy to read. The 1960s and 1970s ranches and split-levels often still have their original kitchens, the 1980s and 1990s builder homes wear honey oak and oak or maple raised-panel, and the upper-tier and newer homes carry 2000s stained or painted cabinetry that is a natural fit for refinishing. These are roomy, well-built kitchens where the layout still works and only the look has fallen out of trend, which is the ideal starting point for painting or refacing.

When we take on a Willowbrook kitchen, whether it is a ranch in Ridgemoor Estates or a custom home in Waterford, we bring the same in-house finishing and design-first approach. We have taken tired honey oak to a crisp painted white, refaced dated raised-panel into a clean Shaker or Artesia, and turned a builder island into the anchor of the room. The boxes are already there and already good. Our job is to make them look intentional again.
