About GK Painting
Meet George, your Madison painting contractor
George Kypraios grew up in Greece, where he was always drawing and painting. He learned the trade under one of the best contractors in the Chicago area, then ran his own painting business there for more than five years. Most of that work came by referral, one finished job leading to the next.
In 2026, after his son was born, George moved his family and GK Painting to Wisconsin to be closer to his wife's family. Carley, his wife, manages the projects. She's often the first person you hear back from, and she keeps the schedule and the details straight so the job runs the way it was quoted.
Cabinet refinishing is the work George cares about most. Doors and drawer fronts are cleaned, sanded, primed, and sprayed for a smooth, even finish, and he has spent years getting that finish right. He's on every job himself, from the first call to the final walkthrough.
GK Painting has been in business six years and is based in Waunakee, serving Madison and the surrounding Dane County communities. Customers are homeowners, and business owners updating their shops and offices. Beyond cabinets: interior painting for homes and businesses, deck staining and refinishing, garage painting and smaller exterior projects. Every job includes surface preparation, protection of the surrounding area, and cleanup.
