Since diving into the world of painting in 2001, Iโ€™ve garnered nearly two decades of experience in both commercial and residential projects. Over the years, Iโ€™ve had the privilege of painting thousands of homes, honing my expertise in interior and exterior work, kitchen cabinet painting, furniture refinishing, deck staining, and so much more.
