Professional Cabinet Painting in Northbrook, Glenview and the North Shore
Worn, yellowed or dated cabinets can make an otherwise good kitchen feel tired. At Sunpainting, we specialize in cabinet painting in Northbrook and Glenview, helping homeowners across the North Shore refresh their kitchens and bathrooms with clean, smooth, long-lasting finishes.
Repainting keeps your existing cabinet boxes, layout and countertops, so you get a new look without tearing anything out.
Cabinets are some of the hardest-working surfaces in your home. They are handled, wiped down and splashed every day, so a great result depends on preparation even more than on the paint itself. That is why we clean, sand, prime and finish every cabinet with care. Sunpainting is rated 5.0 on Google from 180 reviews, and every project starts with a free in-home estimate.
Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities and Built-Ins
We paint and refinish the cabinetry throughout your home.
Kitchen cabinets
Our most requested cabinet service. We paint doors, drawer fronts, face frames, islands, end panels and trim, so the whole kitchen looks cohesive.
Bathroom vanities
Vanities deal with steam and splashes, so prep and primer matter. A newly painted vanity can change the feel of the whole bathroom, from crisp white to a bold, deep color.
Built-ins and other cabinetry
Bookcases, mudroom and laundry cabinets, entertainment centers and other built-ins can be painted to match your trim or to stand out as a feature.

Our Cabinet Painting Process: Prep Makes the Difference
A cabinet finish is only as good as the work underneath it. Here is how a typical project goes.
Protect & remove doors
We mask floors and surfaces, then remove doors, drawers and hardware so every edge gets coated.
Degrease & clean
Thorough cleaning removes cooking residue and oils so primer and paint bond properly.
Sand, fill & repair
We fix dings, holes and worn spots, and sand with Festool sanders on HEPA-filtered vacuums.
Prime & finish
Typically one coat of oil-based primer, then two top coats of premium paint.
Spray or brush & roll
Depending on cabinet style and finish, for a smooth, even coat.
Reinstall & walkthrough
We reinstall everything, clean up, and walk through the finished job with you.

Cabinet Painting FAQ
Quick answers to the questions we hear most.
Do you paint kitchen cabinets?
Yes. Kitchen cabinets are one of the most common things we paint. We also paint bathroom vanities and built-ins.
What does your cabinet painting prep include?
Thorough cleaning, sanding, and typically one coat of oil-based primer followed by two top coats. We use Festool sanders connected to HEPA vacuums to keep dust down, and we clean up as we go, not just on the last day.
How long will my cabinet project take?
The timeline depends on the size of the project and the finish. We will go over the schedule with you at your estimate, and we offer flexible scheduling.
Do the cabinet doors and hardware need to be removed?
Yes. For a long-lasting, high-quality finish, the doors and hardware must be removed. We reinstall everything when the paint is ready.
How much does cabinet painting cost?
It depends on how many doors and drawers you have, their condition and the finish you choose. We offer free in-home estimates with firm pricing and no hidden costs.
