Get matched with top cabinets refinish pros in Lincoln-park, IL

"We first used Lookswell more than 30 years ago when we lived in Chicago before heading out to Barrington to raise a family. We used many different painting contractors over the years in our home there. Two years ago, as empty nesters, we bought a condo in Evanston, which had recently been painted top to bottom in a dark beige. Wondering if Lookswell was still around and whether they'd make the trek to Evanston now, I googled them and was happy to see that they were indeed still in business after all those years. It was so good to meet up with Jim Scanlon again when he came out to look at the work we needed done - somehow he didn't look a day older after 30 years?! The following day Jim's office manager, Cindy, sent a detailed proposal via email and got us on the schedule. We did have to wait a month or so but were in no rush since I hadn't even picked paint colors yet. We didn't get any other bids because our experiences with Lookswell in the past had always been perfect and the price seemed very reasonable. The crew assigned to our job included a supervisor, Fernando, and an awesome group of painters - Alberto, Alex and Luis. Fermando would stop by regularly to check on the work underway. Our condo has two story ceilings which I assumed would be challenging but that Jim's crew handled with ease. Each morning they arrived at 8am and spent quite a bit of time prepping the work area with lots of protective plastic and carefully removing pictures and moving furniture. They were extremely careful and very tolerant of the fact I still hadn't selected a color (so many shades of white to choose from..) by the time they arrived to start the job. Fernando helped me pick a white that turned out to be perfect with the north light in our condo. Their next challenge was my inability to choose a shade of grey for a wide swath of wall that curves to become part of the ceiling right in the center of our living area. Fernando came to the rescue again, suggesting trying one of my choices to see if I liked it and if not, they'd repaint. I did indeed decide to go a shade darker after my first choice was up and they graciously repainted that very challenging area for me - with smiles on their faces to boot. Nothing was too much trouble - they removed lots of wall anchors and repaired all the holes left behind from shelves I'd decided would not be rehung in their previous locations. Alberto and Alex had all the tools necessary to remove any hardware necessary - every size allen wrench in existence it seemed. They somehow painted an area I didn't think could even be accessed - I have no idea how they were able to reach a deep and very narrow recessed slot where a set of floor to ceiling height glass pocket doors retract. But they did. I was out at the time they handled that challenging area so the how is still a mystery. We would not hesitate to call on Lookswell the next time we need anything painted and in fact plan to have them repaint or restain our Valcucine cabinets next. Just need to pick a color..."

"The service was great. Raymond came out quickly to give and estimate for his services. He refinished some maple cabinets in white in one of our rental apartments. The transformation was amazing. The job was done professionally and the cabinets look great. I highly recommend this company to anyone. We plan to use him again for future projects."

"From the time Mark came to the house on his appt.he explained what was needed to be done to prepare the cabinets before he painted them. I picked out a couple colors I liked and he brought me samples of what I picked to show us. I did not like either one so Mark helped me pick a color he thought would look great with my counters. I love the cabinets! Mark is very helpful and easy to talk I would highly recommend Cabinetrix! My husband and I are very happy with our beautiful cabinets! ."

"All Pro remodeled my bathroom (floor and shower tile, bathroom vanity, medicine cabinet, paint). They did a beautiful job and I am very happy with the results."

"The best decision we could have made! Mario was great and easy to work with when scheduling and answering our many questions. They took such great care when working on our home. The team completely covered our newly refinished floors with paper and used plastic to cover all of our cabinets. Everything was taped off, and outlet covers removed. A lot of painters would have just painted around things like this. The work exceeded our expectations. Typically my husband and I prefer to do these things ourselves, but we did not have the time in this case. The team at Fine Painting did as well as we would have done! I plan to recommend the team of Fine Painting to everyone I know."
