About Freshlook Painting LLC
Freshlook Painting LLC approaches every job the same way, starting with thorough surface preparation before a drop of paint goes on. Owner Dave Kelly and his small W-2 crew handle interior and exterior work across Springfield and the surrounding Delaware County area, with no subcontractors on any project.
Cabinet work follows a controlled shop process where doors and drawers are removed, cleaned, degreased, sanded, primed with shellac, and finished with two coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane for a smooth factory-like result. Walls are spackled, sanded, and primed, and older homes with plaster damage or peeling oil paint receive real repair and sealing rather than a quick cover-up. The team works with premium Sherwin-Williams, PPG, and Benjamin Moore products, protects floors and belongings, and cleans the site at the end of each day.
Homeowners get a detailed written proposal within 24 hours of the estimate, sent by text and email. Every project is backed by a workmanship warranty and follow-up touch-ups once the work is done.
