Ryan Coffey founded New Life Painting & Restoration over a decade ago, building the company into Santa Clarita Valley's go-to painting contractor for cabinet refinishing, interior transformations, and exterior restorations. Ryan handles estimates and color consultations while crew leader Leo and painter Edwin manage interior projects. Cabinet specialist Johann fabricates custom doors and drawers when clients want complete refacing, and colorist Suzie guides homeowners through color selection.
The company specializes in cabinet refinishing (their signature service), interior and exterior residential painting, deck staining, popcorn ceiling removal, drywall repair, and stucco restoration. Projects range from single-bathroom refreshes completed in hours to whole-home transformations spanning several weeks. The team uses Sherwin-Williams, Dunn Edwards, and Benjamin Moore paints, including low-VOC options for families with sensitivities.
New Life Painting & Restoration is fully licensed, bonded, and insured and offers warranties on both labor and materials. The company serves Santa Clarita, Valencia, Stevenson Ranch, Saugus, Newhall, Castaic, and Canyon Country.
