Why GK
A family business where the owner does the work
GK Painting is a family-owned painting company based in Waunakee, working across Madison and Dane County. Here's what that changes for you when you hire us, and where we're not the right fit.
You deal with the people doing the work
George Kypraios quotes every job himself, does the work, and walks it with you at the end. His wife, Carley, 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.
There's no salesperson between you and the person holding the sprayer, so what you talk through on the first call is what gets done.
“First of all, it was so simple to get a response back from George's wife and then a follow up call from George to go over the details of my job.”
Cabinets are the work George cares about most
He learned the trade under one of the best contractors in the Chicago area, ran his own painting business there for more than five years, and moved his family and GK Painting to Wisconsin in 2026.
Doors and drawer fronts are cleaned, sanded, primed, and sprayed for a smooth, even finish. Frames are finished in your kitchen. Most kitchens take one to two weeks.
Before
After
One price, in writing, before we start
You get a written quote and a start date, priced per cabinet for cabinets and by the square foot for rooms, with paint included. The written quote is the price, no extra charge if the job takes longer than expected.
That's one of several commitments we put in plain words on our promises page.
You can check all of this yourself
- A 4.9 average from 35 reviews on Thumbtack, where George has been hired 38 times and was a Top Pro from 2023 to 2025. Read the reviews.
- Before and after photos from real jobs, each with its own page. See our work.
- Straight answers on cabinet color, cost, and whether to paint or replace. Read the guides.
- Fully insured, in business six years, and background checked through Thumbtack.
When we're not the right fit
We don't paint whole-house siding. Our exterior work is decks, entryways, exterior doors, garages, and trim.
We don't publish a price list. Every kitchen is different, so the number comes after George has talked it through with you. If you need a figure before a conversation, we won't be the fastest answer.
And we work across Madison and Dane County. Here are the towns we serve.
