Troy and Nicole Cullin founded TNC Painting in 2016, building a family-run operation from their Grand Rapids workshop that specializes in cabinet refinishing, cabinet refacing, and interior painting. When homeowners call or submit a quote request, Troy or Nicole personally responds and schedules a free on-site consultation. Nicole walks clients through color options and design choices, while Troy assesses the scope of work and provides transparent, itemized pricing.
The company runs a dual-process workflow where Troy handles offsite cabinet door spray painting in their shop for a factory-smooth finish, while Nicole, Lianna, and the on-site crew manage prep work, wall painting, and installation at the home. Projects range from single-bathroom cabinet updates to full kitchen transformations converting dated oak cabinetry into modern white shaker styles with soft-close hardware.
The fully licensed and insured team carries comprehensive liability and workers' compensation coverage. TNC Painting uses premium Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams products and serves 19 Grand Rapids area communities including Ada, Byron Center, Kentwood, Holland, and Zeeland.
