“Refinishing instead of replacing cabinetry saves up to 70% of the cost while achieving a custom look.”—Lake County Homeowner

  4. Rapid Makeover: A complete style change delivered in days rather than weeks.

Clients can update everything from traditional oak cabinets to modern shaker styles—without demolition or extended timelines.


Trim & Molding Painting: The Finishing Touch

The difference between an “okay” paint job and a truly polished result often comes down to detailed trim work. Our painters bring:

  • Steady Hands & Patience: Precision taping and brushwork deliver sharp lines between trim and adjacent walls or ceilings.

2. Exterior Painting Services


Enhancing Curb Appeal and Protecting Your Home

Our team understands the importance of a well-maintained exterior, and we employ meticulous techniques to ensure your home stands out in Lake County, IL.

Our exterior painting services encompass a wide array of options tailored to meet the unique needs of every homeowner. We utilize premium paints from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams, renowned for their durability and vibrant color retention. Key offerings include:

  • Carpentry Repairs: Before painting begins, we address any necessary carpentry repairs to ensure structural integrity and optimal paint adherence.


Deck Staining vs. Painting

Choosing between deck staining and painting can be challenging for homeowners aiming to revitalize their outdoor spaces. Understanding the key differences helps in making an informed decision:


Deck Staining

  • Appearance: Staining highlights the natural grain and texture of wood, offering a rustic and classic look.
  • Maintenance: Requires periodic reapplication but easier touch-ups compared to paint.
  • Protection: Penetrates wood fibers providing excellent protection against moisture and UV damage.


Deck Painting

  • Appearance: Provides a uniform color with higher opacity, allowing for more vibrant color choices.
  • Maintenance: Typically longer-lasting than stains but may require more extensive reapplication efforts.
  • Protection: Forms a barrier over wood surfaces offering robust protection against elements.


Both options have their distinct benefits, and our experts are here to guide you through the selection process based on your preferences and outdoor environment.


The Role of Power Washing

Effective surface preparation is pivotal in extending the lifespan of exterior finishes. Power washing plays a vital role by:

  1. Removing Dirt and Debris: Cleanses surfaces thoroughly, eliminating dirt, mold, mildew, and other contaminants that can impede paint adhesion.
  2. Enhancing Paint Adhesion: Ensures a clean slate for paint application, leading to better absorption and adherence.
  3. Preventing Future Damage: By removing harmful substances from exterior surfaces, power washing helps prevent future deterioration caused by moisture or biological growth.


Our team utilizes advanced power washing equipment to ensure each surface is impeccably prepared before applying any paint or stain.


With these comprehensive exterior painting services, Rohrer Handyman Services guarantees enhanced curb appeal and protection for homes across Lake County, IL. Our dedication to quality workmanship ensures every project meets the highest standards of excellence.


In addition to our painting services, we also offer expert advice on various home improvement topics.


3. Cabinet Painting and Refinishing

Rohrer Handyman Services offers specialized cabinet painting services designed to rejuvenate your kitchen or bathroom without the need for costly replacements. The meticulous process ensures that the results are both beautiful and durable, enhancing the appearance and functionality of your cabinetry.


Meticulous Cabinet Painting Process

Our cabinet painting service involves a thorough and detailed approach to guarantee outstanding results:

  1. Cleaning: We start by meticulously cleaning all surfaces to remove grease, grime, and any old residues.
  2. Sanding: Careful sanding is performed to create a smooth surface that promotes better paint adhesion.
  3. Priming: High-quality primers are applied to ensure an even base coat, which is essential for the final finish's durability.
  4. Painting: Premium cabinet-grade paints (enamel or urethane-fortified acrylic) are used for superior coverage and longevity. Spraying equipment may be utilized for a flawless application on doors and drawer fronts.
  5. Reassembly: Once the paint has cured, we reassemble cabinets, adjusting doors, drawers, and hardware for optimal functionality.


Cost Savings with Cabinet Refinishing

Choosing cabinet refinishing over complete replacement offers significant cost savings while achieving a fresh, modern look:

  • Affordability: Refinishing is a fraction of the cost of replacing cabinets entirely, making it an economical choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their kitchen or bathroom aesthetics. You can explore more about the top benefits of refinishing your kitchen.
  • Quick Turnaround: The refinishing process is faster than replacement, typically completed in just a few days, allowing homeowners to enjoy their revamped space sooner.
  • Minimal Disruption: Refinishing requires less invasive work compared to ripping out old cabinets and installing new ones, resulting in minimal disruption to your daily routine.


Advantages of Using Premium Paint Brands

At Rohrer Handyman Services, we prioritize quality by using premium paint brands such as Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams. These brands offer several advantages:

  • Superior Coverage: Premium paints provide excellent coverage with fewer coats required, ensuring an even and uniform finish.
  • Durability: High-quality paints are formulated to withstand daily wear and tear, including moisture exposure in kitchens and bathrooms. Their longevity means fewer touch-ups or repainting over time.
  • Aesthetics: These paints deliver rich colors and smooth finishes that enhance the visual appeal of your cabinetry, contributing to the overall ambiance of your home.


Benefits of Professional Cabinet Painting Services

Investing in professional cabinet painting services brings multiple benefits:

  • Expert Handling: Professional painters possess the skills needed to handle intricate details without leaving brush marks or uneven surfaces.
  • Durable Coating: The use of premium paints combined with expert application techniques ensures a durable coating that resists stains and moisture damage.
  • Style Transformation: A professionally painted cabinet can dramatically transform the style of a room, offering a fresh look that aligns with current design trends.


4. Deck Staining and Painting


Detailed Explanation of Our Deck Staining and Painting Services

Rohrer Handyman Services offers specialized deck staining and painting services tailored to protect and enhance your outdoor spaces. Our approach begins with thorough surface preparation, which is crucial for achieving optimal adhesion and long-lasting results.


Preparation Techniques:

  • Cleaning: We start by pressure washing the deck to remove dirt, mold, and old finishes. This ensures a clean surface for the new application.
  • Repairs: Any rotted boards or loose railings are repaired or replaced to maintain structural integrity.
  • Sanding: For staining, we sand the wood surfaces to create a smooth texture that allows the stain to penetrate evenly.
  • Scraping: For painting, we scrape off any flaking paint to prepare a uniform surface.
  • Priming: Priming is essential for painted decks as it enhances paint adhesion and durability.


Comparing Deck Staining vs. Painting

Choosing between deck staining and painting depends on several factors, including aesthetic preferences, maintenance requirements, and environmental exposure.


Appearance:

  • Staining: Provides a natural look that highlights the wood grain. Ideal for homeowners who prefer a rustic or traditional appearance.
  • Painting: Offers a more uniform color with extensive options for customization. Suitable for those seeking a contemporary or vibrant look.

Maintenance:

  • Staining: Requires regular maintenance every 2-3 years, as stains tend to fade faster due to UV exposure.
  • Painting: Typically lasts longer (5-7 years) before needing reapplication but can chip or peel over time if not properly maintained.


Importance of Using Weather-Resistant Paint

For decks exposed to harsh outdoor conditions, using weather-resistant exterior paint is imperative.


Benefits of Weather-Resistant Paint:

  1. Durability: Formulated to withstand extreme weather variations such as heavy rain, intense sun exposure, and fluctuating temperatures.
  2. Protection: Shields wood from moisture infiltration, preventing rot and decay.
  3. Longevity: Extends the lifespan of your deck by maintaining its appearance and structural integrity over time.


By leveraging high-quality paints specifically designed for outdoor use, Rohrer Handyman Services ensures that your deck remains beautiful and functional through every season.


5. Preparation and Protection


A perfect paint finish starts long before the first brushstroke. The key to a durable and beautiful paint job is thorough surface preparation—an area where Rohrer Handyman Services excels. When it comes to getting surfaces ready for long-lasting paint jobs, every step is done with care, making sure that the final result not only looks amazing but also lasts for years.


The Essential Steps in Surface Preparation


1. Assessment and Repair

Each project starts with a thorough inspection of walls, ceilings, or exterior surfaces to identify cracks, holes, peeling paint, mildew, or moisture issues. Damaged areas are repaired using premium fillers or patching compounds.

2. Cleaning

Surfaces are cleaned meticulously to remove dust, grease, and contaminants. Exterior projects typically involve professional power washing, while interior spaces might require specialized degreasers or mild cleaning agents.

3. Sanding and Smoothing

Imperfections are sanded down for a smooth base. This step is especially critical on trim, doors, cabinetry, and surfaces previously painted with gloss finishes.

4. Priming

Proper primer selection is vital. Stain-blocking primers prevent bleed-through on walls and ceilings; bonding primers ensure adhesion on slick surfaces such as laminate cabinetry or metal railings.

5. Masking and Protection

All adjacent surfaces—floors, furniture, hardware—are carefully masked off or covered to prevent accidental splatters. Windows, fixtures, and landscaping are shielded during exterior painting.

“Preparation isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s the difference between a paint job that fails in months versus one that endures for years.”

Choosing the Right Paint Brands for Homes


Selecting the correct paint brand and formulation can significantly impact both longevity and appearance. Rohrer Handyman Services relies on two industry leaders: Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams.


Factors to Consider When Selecting Paint:

            Surface Type

  • Walls & Ceilings: Look for high-hide acrylic latex paints designed for smooth application and easy cleaning (e.g., Benjamin Moore Regal Select).
  • Trim & Doors: Enamel-fortified paints provide a hard, scuff-resistant finish ideal for high-contact areas.
  • Cabinetry: Cabinet-grade urethane acrylics offer superior adhesion and moisture resistance (e.g., Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel).

            Durability Requirements

  • Kitchens & Baths: Moisture-prone spaces benefit from mildew-resistant formulas.
  • Children’s Rooms/Hallways: Washable paints with stain resistance hold up against frequent cleaning.

            Desired Finish

  • Matte/Eggshell: Subtle sheen hides imperfections; suited to living spaces.
  • Satin/Semi-gloss: Enhanced durability and wipeability for trim, cabinets, kitchens, baths.
  • Exterior Siding/Trim: Weather-resistant paints formulated to expand/contract with temperature changes help prevent cracking and peeling.


Color Retention & Fade Resistance

High-quality pigments ensure that colors stay vibrant even under direct sunlight or heavy wear.


Premium Brands in Practice

Both Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams invest in advanced resin technology so their products resist fading, chipping, staining, and mildew growth—key factors in Lake County’s variable climate. Their lines cover every residential need from interior elegance to exterior protection.


By combining best-in-class surface preparation techniques with proven premium paint brands tailored.


6. Benefits of Professional Painting Services

Investing in professional residential painting services can yield substantial returns, particularly when considering the return on investment (ROI) from painting your home. High-quality paint jobs are a strategic way to enhance your property’s value and appeal, especially when it comes time to sell.


Increased Home Value

By sealing surfaces effectively, professional painters help prevent issues such as mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage.
