A Columbus-based operation led by owner Joe Grywalski, JNG Painting & Decorating LLC focuses primarily on cabinet refinishing and refacing work that turns dated kitchens into surfaces customer Caitlin Uttley described as "brand new, straight out of the factory."
Beyond cabinets, the team handles full interior painting, faux finishing, door refurbishing, wallpaper removal, drywall repair, custom wood staining, and color consultation with an in-house decorator. Joe runs the crew alongside named team members Cory and Tom, who appear in reviews going back several years. Customer Patrick Daly noted that Joe was the first contractor he found with hands-on experience using 2K Poly-Acrylics for factory-grade finishes, and Carmen Winant mentioned he was the only painter in her search who offered a matte paint option. The portfolio runs from 1960s kitchens and pickled-oak cabinets to a 1930 antique backbar that Cindy Stegman called "completely transformed."
The team is bonded and insured, recognized with an Angi Super Service Award, and stands behind a 7-year warranty on cabinet refinishing that multiple reviewers confirm being honored through free touch-ups years after the original job.
