Our work

Cabinet refinishing and painting project photos

Kitchens, built-ins, rooms, and a few exteriors, photographed on real jobs for homeowners and business owners. Every before-and-after pair below is the same room.

We work across Madison and Dane County today. Some of these jobs are from George's years in Chicago, before the move to Wisconsin.
