  • What kind of prep work is included before painting?
    Prep work is one of the most important parts of a quality paint job — and it’s where most painters cut corners. At MOMOS Painting Co., we take our prep seriously, because that’s what ensures a smooth, durable, and professional finish. Here’s what’s typically included before we start painting: Protective masking and coverings: We cover all floors, furniture, cabinetry, and fixtures to keep your home clean and untouched Surface cleaning: Walls, cabinets, siding, or trim are cleaned and degreased as needed for proper adhesion Repairs: We patch holes, cracks, nail pops, and minor drywall or wood damage Sanding & scuffing: Surfaces are sanded to remove texture inconsistencies and ensure the paint bonds properly Priming: We spot-prime or full-prime areas as needed — especially for bare drywall, patched spots, woodwork, or color changes Color sampling (optional): For interior and cabinet projects, we can test a few color options on your wall or doors so you can confidently choose the right one Whether we're prepping walls in a Lincoln Park condo, refinishing wood trim in a Winnetka home, or getting siding ready for exterior paint in Oak Brook, our prep process is designed to protect your home and make the final result stand out.
  • Do you provide the paint, or can I choose my own?
    Yes — we provide all the paint for your project, and we only use premium products we trust from brands like Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Centurion (for cabinet finishes). This ensures beautiful results that last. That said, we’re flexible. If you already have a brand, finish, or color in mind, we’re happy to work with it — and we’ll guide you on: Choosing the right sheen for the room or surface (flat, eggshell, satin, etc.) Making sure it’s compatible with the existing paint or surface Matching custom colors across different brands if needed Our priority is getting you a durable, beautiful finish — whether we’re painting a full interior in Lakeview, an exterior in Highland Park, or kitchen cabinets in Elmhurst.
  • Can you help with choosing colors?
    Yes — choosing the right color can be overwhelming, and we’re here to make it easy. We offer multiple color consultation options depending on the size and complexity of your project: Kat – Our Design Partner Ideal for full-home projects or clients looking for expert guidance on tones, mood, flow, and timeless design. Kat helps homeowners in places like Winnetka, Highland Park, and Gold Coast feel confident about their color direction. Sherwin-Williams Color Consultant Available through our Sherwin-Williams partnership, this option is great for clients who want detailed support using one of the most trusted color systems in the industry. Erick – Owner & Project Manager For smaller projects (like a bedroom, accent wall, or cabinet refresh), Erick offers practical, hands-on advice based on years of experience. He’ll help you narrow it down quickly — a great fit for clients in West Town, Lincolnwood, or Downers Grove who want expert input without the formality of a full consult. We also offer color samples on the wall or cabinet surface before we begin, so you can see how a color looks in your actual lighting and space before making a final decision.
  • Are you licensed and insured?
    Yes — MOMOS Painting Co. is a fully insured professional painting company. We carry general liability insurance, and all painters on our job sites are properly insured and vetted for safety and professionalism. Whether we’re painting a historic home in Oak Park, updating a kitchen in Wilmette, or completing an exterior project in Naperville, your home and our team are protected every step of the way. We also provide clear written estimates, timelines, and project details, so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises, just peace of mind.
  • How far in advance should I book my painting project?
    We recommend booking 2 to 4 weeks in advance, especially during the busy spring and fall seasons — but we always do our best to accommodate every homeowner, no matter the timeline. Whether you're planning ahead for a full-home interior repaint in Winnetka, need cabinet painting in Oak Park, or want to squeeze in an exterior project in Glenview before the weather changes, we'll work with you to find the best possible spot in our schedule. The sooner you reach out, the more flexibility we’ll have — but even if you’re on a tight timeline, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’ll do everything we can to make it work.
  • How do I get a quote or schedule an estimate?
    We provide free in-person estimates because we believe every home — and every project — deserves the right attention to detail from the start. Here’s how the process works: Contact us through our website or give us a call/text We’ll ask a few quick questions to understand your needs and make sure we’re the right fit If it sounds like we can help, we’ll schedule an on-site visit at your convenience During the visit, we’ll walk the space, answer your questions, and put together a detailed, transparent proposal We don’t give pricing over the phone or text because we want to fully understand the scope, condition, and goals for your project — whether it’s a cabinet repaint in Glenview, a full interior in Lincoln Park, or exterior work in Hinsdale. This approach helps us avoid surprises and ensures you get accurate, honest pricing tailored to your specific home.
  • How much does interior painting cost in Chicago and nearby suburbs?
    Our pricing includes premium paint, expert labor, materials, and full prep work — no hidden fees. For full-home interior painting, most projects fall between $5,000 and $10,000+, depending on the size, layout, and condition of the home.

  • How should I prepare my home before painting begins?
    We make it easy, but here’s what helps: Remove wall décor and personal/fragile items Move anything that's valuable. Move furniture to the center of the room to make space for painting. Let us know if there are any areas needing special attention We protect all floors, furniture, and fixtures. Whether we’re painting in Wheaton, Logan Square, or Glenview, your home is respected and clean throughout the project — with updates shared through CompanyCam.
  • What’s the best paint finish for each room?
    We’ll guide you during your consultation, but here’s a quick breakdown: Flat or matte – hides imperfections, best for ceilings or low-traffic rooms Eggshell or satin – ideal for most living spaces and bedrooms Semi-gloss – perfect for trim, doors, kitchens, and bathrooms Whether you're in a sunlit home in Glencoe, a high-rise in West Loop, or a vintage home in Northfield, we'll recommend the right finish for your space and lighting.
  • How often should interior walls be repainted?
    We recommend repainting most interior walls every 5–10 years, depending on the level of wear and tear. Busy areas like hallways, staircases, kitchens, and kids' rooms may need a refresh every 3–5 years — a common request in homes across Evanston, River North, Roscoe Village, Des Plaines, and Western Springs.

  • When is the best time to schedule exterior painting in Chicago?
    We recommend scheduling exterior painting between late April and early October, when the weather is more stable and dry. Our team monitors the forecast closely to avoid rainy or overly humid conditions — whether we're working in Old Town, Gold Coast, Western Springs, Golf, or Schaumburg — to ensure your paint adheres and cures properly.
  • How long does an exterior paint project take?
    Most exterior projects take about 3 to 7 business days, depending on surface condition, size, and weather. Smaller scopes like doors, porches, or trim may be completed in just a couple of days. Regardless of size, we provide a clear timeline and daily updates with photos, whether you're in West Town, Hinsdale, Wheaton, Kenilworth, or Northbrook.
  • Do you handle exterior repairs before painting?
    Yes — we offer minor exterior repairs such as: Replacing rotted wood on fascia, trim, or siding Filling cracks in stucco or gaps in woodwork Caulking joints and repairing nail pops or loose boards These types of repairs are common across homes in Lincoln Park, Norwood Park, Oak Park, Highland Park, Des Plaines, and Andersonville — and we make sure they’re completed before any painting begins.

  • How much does professional cabinet painting cost in Chicago and the suburbs?
    Our cabinet painting services start at a $4,500 minimum, which includes premium materials, expert prep, spraying, and a clean, durable finish. Most full-kitchen cabinet projects typically range between $4,500 and $12,000+, depending on the number of doors and drawers, surface condition, and any needed repairs or modifications. We also work on smaller custom projects — like vanities, laundry room cabinets, or built-ins — which can be priced accordingly. Whether you live in a townhome in Bucktown, a classic brick home in Sauganash, or a large estate in Winnetka, we tailor each estimate to your space and goals.
  • Is painting cabinets better than replacing them?
    In many cases, yes — especially if your cabinets are in good structural condition. Cabinet painting isn’t “cheap,” but it’s significantly more affordable and less invasive than replacing them. Replacing cabinets typically requires: Demolition of your existing boxes Removal and reinstallation of countertops and backsplashes Possible electrical or plumbing changes A full remodel timeline with multiple trades involved By contrast, cabinet painting keeps your existing layout and structure while delivering a clean, modern, high-end look at a fraction of the cost and disruption. Homeowners in Evanston, Oak Brook, North Center, and Highland Park choose this route when they want beautiful results without the mess and price tag of a full renovation.
  • What kind of paint do you use on cabinets?
    Our go-to cabinet finish is Centurion 2K polyurethane, a professional-grade, industrial-strength paint system designed specifically for cabinets. It delivers: A smooth, factory-like finish Exceptional durability against moisture, scratches, and daily wear Long-lasting color and adhesion for years to come That said, we understand every home and budget is different. We also offer other high-quality cabinet paint options that still meet our standards — and we’ll always recommend what we truly believe is the best fit for your goals, use, and budget. Whether you're in Lakeview, Sauganash, Glenview, or Elmhurst, you’ll get expert guidance and a finish that looks beautiful and lasts.
  • How long does cabinet painting take from start to finish?
    We use a structured 5‑day process to ensure great results with minimal disruption: Days 1–2 – Prep & Protection Create a sealed spray booth in your home (usually near a window or garage) to contain all overspray and fumes Cover countertops, floors, appliances, and surrounding surfaces Remove and label all doors, drawers, and hardware — occasionally shifting appliances for access. Days 2–3 – Cleaning & Sanding Deep clean and sand all surfaces for best-primer adhesion Drill new hardware holes or patch existing ones if needed — time varies by cabinet condition Days 4–5 – Primer & Paint Application Apply two coats of high-quality primer and two finish coats, with sanding and cleaning between each Spray cabinet boxes on-site inside the booth and doors/drawers off-site with professional sprayers Reinstall and complete a final walk-through on Day 5 — touching up as needed. We share daily progress photos using CompanyCam, so whether you’re home in Gold Coast, Roscoe Village, Des Plaines, or Naperville, you’re always in the loop.
  • Can you paint oak cabinets and still hide the wood grain?
    Yes, absolutely. Many homes in areas like Beverly, Clarendon Hills, and Norwood Park still have oak cabinets that are in good shape but have that heavy wood grain look. We offer grain-filling and smoothing options to reduce or eliminate the visible grain before painting. This creates a sleek, modern finish while keeping the strong cabinet base intact.
  • Will my painted cabinets chip or peel over time?
    Not with our process — especially when we use Centurion 2K, a professional-grade, two-component polyurethane system that chemically cures for unbeatable durability. Here’s why Centurion 2K stands out: Chemical-cure = factory-grade hardness, far beyond traditional latex or waterborne cabinet paint Resists moisture, grease, daily wear, and cleaning products — ideal for busy kitchens Smooth, refined finish that mimics a factory-sprayed cabinet Available in custom sheens and color-matching options Cheaper paints (like standard latex or acrylics) may look nice for a few months but are more prone to: Chipping or flaking from regular use Soft finishes that scratch easily Peeling near handles, appliances, and sink areas Even other water-based cabinet paints, while decent, don’t match the hardness or finish quality of Centurion’s 2K system. That’s why we recommend it for kitchens in Winnetka, Oak Brook, Lincoln Park, and other areas where clients want premium results that truly last. That said, we do offer alternative high-quality paints when needed, and we’ll always recommend the best option for your space and budget.
  • Why choose MOMOS Painting Co. for cabinet painting?
    We’re cabinet painting specialists — not general painters who “also do cabinets.” That means: We use a refined, multi-step process designed specifically for wood cabinetry We work with Centurion 2K and other pro-grade systems for a true factory-like finish We treat your home with respect — masking, protecting, and keeping things spotless We provide real-time progress photos with CompanyCam, so you’re never left guessing We can guide you on hardware changes, layout suggestions, and color planning Homeowners across Lincoln Park, Gold Coast, Hinsdale, Wilmette, Sauganash, and Glenview trust us to upgrade their kitchens and built-ins without the stress of a full renovation. Whether it's a full kitchen or a small vanity refresh, you’ll always get the same clean, professional results.
  • How do I get started with a cabinet painting estimate?
    We always begin with a free on-site consultation. This lets us inspect your cabinets, understand your goals, and confirm if the project fits our minimum and process. We don’t offer quotes over the phone — this protects your time and ensures we’re a good fit from the start. Whether you're in Edison Park, River North, Downers Grove, or Lincoln Park, we’ll ask the right questions and guide you through what to expect.
