Question 1

Q: What sets Giant Painters' cabinet refinishing process apart from standard repainting?

Accepted Answer

Customers describe a multi-day process that begins with removal of cabinet doors to an off-site shop for sanding and priming. On-site, the crew tapes, papers, and sets up plastic barriers with an exhaust system to contain dust. Kevin Rojek noted the team "used top-of-the-line paint" with hardener added for durability, inspecting each cabinet for imperfections before hand-sanding. Seth Ellis described "three layers of paper" protecting new floors. The result is a finish multiple reviewers compare to brand-new factory cabinets.

Question 2

Q: How does Scott, the owner, stay involved in each project?

Accepted Answer

Scott personally performs painting on most jobs rather than delegating to subcontractors. Melissa Rabin Lederer observed that "Scott, the owner, does the painting himself." He conducts walkthroughs before and after the work, handles color consultation, and manages all scheduling communication. Vamsi Y noted Scott "immediately differentiated himself" by being direct about what actually needed painting versus upselling unnecessary work.

Question 3

Q: How clean is the job site during and after a cabinet refinishing project?

Accepted Answer

The crew protects non-painted surfaces with plastic, tape, and floor coverings, including paper walkways to prevent dust tracking. Kevin Rojek described the team "covering the inside of the cabinets with paper to prevent overspray." After completion, they vacuum, remove all coverings, and wipe down windows. Laura Garber summed up the cleanup as the team being "prompt, thorough, clean" throughout the entire process.

Question 4

Q: Do customers report that Giant Painters stays on schedule and communicates clearly?

Accepted Answer

On-time performance is one of the most frequent themes across reviews. Jim Ritzema noted that "if they said they would be there at 7:00 am on Thursday, they were there." Lauren Esposto confirmed they "provide an accurate schedule and work with precision." Multiple customers mention Scott being responsive to questions and proactive about check-ins before and during the project.

Question 5

Q: What areas and services does Giant Painters cover beyond kitchen cabinets?

Accepted Answer

While cabinet refinishing dominates the review record, customers have also hired Giant Painters for full interior repaints (walls, ceilings, trim, doors), bathroom vanity refinishing, wallpaper removal, and exterior painting. Andrea K had her "dining room, kitchen, hallway, family room and entry way" painted by crew member Mark. Sandra Kreger had her primary bedroom, bathroom, and cabinets done in a single project including drywall repair.

Question 6

Q: Are there repeat customers, and what do they say about long-term results?

Accepted Answer

Several reviewers returned for additional projects. Roger Rhoten hired Giant Painters for a prior house and came back for cabinet painting at a new home, calling the work "A++." Merle Benjoya reported that cabinets painted six years earlier "still look perfect" and brought the team back for laundry room work. Kate Hoopes (written by Jason Hoopes) described three separate projects spanning 2021 to 2025 with results that "look fantastic as the day they were painted."
