Get matched with top cabinet refacers and refinishers in Lyons, 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..."

"I'd give 6 stars if I could. We hired Raymond and his team to refinish/paint our oak cabinets on a tight budget and schedule. Raymond was a great communicator throughout. The work was clean, professional, and showed true craftsmanship--the before and after is pretty stunning. And their commitment to come back for touchups shows professionalism. We absolutely recommend their team and would hire them again for similar work in the future, especially if looking for a simple and effective upgrade like ours."

"Last night we hired Redo Cabinets to do a kitchen remodel. We chose them because of their excellent reviews and ratings from Google, Home Advisor and Better Business Bureau. We were very happy with the professionalism of their sales team and the thoroughness of their presentation. We look forward to the project starting in late July and we will post another review after they complete the installation. We are confident that it will go well because of the excellent follow up already received 12 hours later from Alex in their production department. Thanks to Brad, Thomas and to Chris for walking us through the front end of this process."

"Best experience with a home contractor I have had in recent memory."

"I have worked with JD Woodworking for 13 years. They have I fort hired them to install cabinets. I was so impressed with their work and professionalism that I hired them in my next house for a custom office, home theatre and bar. Each of these projects were custom built from the cabinets to the coffered ceilings. I have recommended them to several friends and I would recommend them again without hesitation."

"We had a very difficult home remodel, and Jorge and his team were phenomenal. They helped us with drywall repair and installation, wall paper removal, and skim coating. They were very reasonably priced, and Jorge did a wonderful job communicating the whole way through. Whenever I text him, he responded immediately. We do not live at the property yet, so he would send update photos of their work every day. We were really happy Jorge and his company!"
