Eli and the team were fantastic to work with. I highly recommend you meet with them, they are able to turn old cabinets into new without paying full price for a total remodel (think 15-20% the cost for 95% of the outcome). If you are looking at a new home or want to upgrade your own with older wooden cabinets - no downside to a free estimate for Illuminate to see how they can transform. Truly was a great process working with them. They also have recommendations of counter and backsplash companies to work with.
Illuminate CabinetPainting is everything I love about a small business. They hold a high standard of excellence and it shows in the beautiful work they do. Not only that, they took time to listen to what we wanted and helped us decide the best path forward for updating our kitchen cabinets. Our 1916 house had been updated in the 50’s. Our challenge was to work with the old hand built cabinets we had. We wanted them to look new and updated, but also wanted to bring back the original integrity of this gem of a house. Illuminate CabinetPainting was very helpful in helping us pick a beautiful color that lightened our small kitchen space and make it feel more expansive. I’m so thankful for the detail and craftsmanship they put into making our old kitchen feel new without replacing any of the old cabinets. They helped us find the perfect balance of reviving and honoring our old house. Elijah, Jeff and Alex hold a standard of hard work and excellence that is hard to find anymore. I highly recommend them if you want to upgrade your cabinets.

We are so pleased we chose Illuminate CabinetPainting to help with our kitchen update. Elijah, Jeff and Alex did a phenomenal job. Their attention to detail was impressive, The extensive prep work demonstrated how meticulous and thorough they are. While there are many large painting companies that also do cabinetpainting, we found that the individuals that came to quote us were not the ones that would be doing the work. When we met with Elijah for the estimate, it instilled a lot of confidence in us to know that he and his partners would be completing the entire project, and that cabinet refinishing is the sole focus of their company. They do beautiful work, adhered to the promised timeline, and are just genuinely nice people. Our updated cabinets are my favorite part of our kitchen refresh!

I wish that I could do more than 5 stars! Jef and Elijah are fantastic to work with and made the cabinetpainting experience smooth. Not only do they have an eye for color, but were willing to patiently work with us through our home remodel. The kitchen is my favorite room in the house now due to the amazing craftsmanship and work from Jef and Elijah. Also, the process of how they do the cabinetpainting is perfected, very clean, and no construction dust/mess is left. They are a Fort Collins gem and cannot recommend them enough!!
