Custom Cabinetry

Chicagoland painting & cabinetry

Painted with precision.
Built by hand.

Painting and woodworking are the core of what we do, but they are just the tools. At SBS Custom Finishes we pair expert interior, exterior and commercial painting with precision-built custom cabinetry to shape your entire living environment. Anyone can paint or build a room—we craft the space you live in.

What we do

Two divisions, one standard of finish.

Half of our work is painting and wall finishes, half is custom cabinetry. Same crew standards and the same finish quality, whichever side of the business your project falls on.

Arched Cane-Panel Bar – Drawing to Install
