Fresh Paint and Wainscoting in Lockport, IL: Adding Huge Interior Style!

February 24, 2021

Are you looking for a way to ramp up your interior style without a remodel? Maybe add some visual interest and a custom touch? 

Interior painting is an awesome way to take your spaces to the next level, but it doesn’t have to stop there. Our team specializes in carpentry services too, making it easy to add or replace trim, moulding, wainscoting, baseboards, chair rail, and more… The difference can be incredible. 

Here’s a real-life example from a local project we just finished. 

Interior Painting and Carpentry in Lockport


Our client has a lovely home, but it was definitely ready for some fresh touches in the paint department. They asked us to install wainscoting as well, running down the stairs and around the adjacent dining room. 


This opened the door to a really sharp contrast: white down below, and a stylish wall color above. After fully prepping the spaces (from floor coverings to masking), our carpentry team installed the new wainscoting and trim. Our painting team then came in to work their magic, pulling the look together with primer, caulking, and paint.


Transformation Time!

Your kitchen cabinets take up a huge amount of visual space. And you know what that means? It means a fresh coat of paint can do more than just make them look brand new. It can transform your kitchen’s style and save you thousands compared to a full remodel. But here’s the catch: painted cabinets can be stunning…or they can be a DIY disaster. Before you grab a paintbrush and start slapping on color, there are a few golden rules you’ll want to follow. Here’s our list of do’s and don’ts to keep your cabinets looking polished instead of patchy. The Cabinet Painting Do’s Do Clean Thoroughly: Grease, dust, and kitchen grime are sneaky. If you don’t clean your cabinets properly before painting, all that gunk will show through the new paint, or worse, prevent it from sticking. A little elbow grease goes a long way. Do Remove the Doors and Hardware: It’s tempting to cut corners, but trust us: painting around hinges and handles never looks neat. Take the doors off, label them, and store hardware in a baggie so you don’t end up with the world’s hardest jigsaw puzzle later. Do Sand (Yes, Really): Sanding is the unglamorous step nobody wants to do, but it’s the secret to a smooth, professional finish. Even if your cabinets don’t look glossy, a light sanding helps paint adhere and prevents chipping. Do Use the Right Paint: Cabinets need durable paint that can handle daily wear. Satin, semi-gloss, or specialty cabinet paints are designed for the job. Flat wall paint? Not invited to this party. Do Test a Sample First: Colors can look completely different under your kitchen lighting than they do on a tiny paint chip at the store. Paint a test section before committing to “soft sage” that mysteriously turns into “swamp green” under your pendant lights.
