Painting kitchen cabinets is my specialty, my focus, and the driving force of my business. I have a temperature controlled spray shop that allows for proper curing. My method presents a 'greener' alternative to catalyzed lacquer or other chemical processes but still withstands the tests of everyday kitchen activity. A Urethane based Acrylic Product that is sturdy and stable this process continues to succeed.
I grew up in the historical restoration field. From general repaints to new construction to old home house stripping and restoration I have done it all. I have a true passion for painting, always have, and I am always present on the job.

They were absolutely incredible. Showed up on time. Were completely fair on pricing. Left my house completely spotless during the job and after. Would recommend them over and over. The paint itself was very high quality. I attached before and after photos of a section of my kitchen to see the paint quality.

From first message to the final day, working with him has been such a pleasure. Amazing quality work, professional, and somebody you can trust with your kitchen. We even got our cabinets back earlier than we thought. I am somebody who can always find something wrong with somebody’s work, but not this time! I searched endlessly for a painter and I’m so glad we went with him. Highly suggest him for your painting needs. Our kitchen is truly transformed and we will be hiring him again very soon. Beyond happy.
Details: Both, wall and base cabinets • 16 or more cabinets • Wood stain • Full repainting in lighter color • Yes, I will supply the paint to the professional

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is competitive with professionals that possess my skills
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I am very reachable and approachable. Once I officially receive a job, my crew and I show up everyday at 8 am and work until it is necessary to complete the project.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was brought up as the foreman of a historical house stripping crew in NJ and PA . We completed such jobs as the William Penn house on the Delaware River in PA to numerous Princeton NJ residences to townhouses in NYC. But I also have several years experience in general residential repainting of exterior and interior spaces
