Dave and team did a fantastic job painting the exterior of our house and matching shed. From the start they communicated well and managed expectations. Their estimate was competitive with others we received and included replacement of around 100 siding boards. Work was completed professionally, on time and on budget. The few minor concerns I had were quickly addressed. I will definitely use them for all future painting needs.Posted on Kathie LongbriccoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having had several unpleasant experiences with painting contractors I contacted Proper Painters after seeing them on Facebook. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. I was holding out hope that maybe, just maybe I would be able to get the old shutters replaced and painted on my 1960’s Rancher (no contractor to date wanted to do this) AND I wanted the entire interior to be given a facelift. I needed multiple plaster cracks in ceilings & walls repaired and everything repainted including all moulding. I reached out via FB and was pleasantly surprised when Dave, the owner responded. From the first conversation my experience with PP was fabulous. The first meeting was with Dave for a free estimate, we chatted about what I wanted, he took multiple pics. got square footage and provided me with a rough estimate before leaving. OMG! Thank you! He followed up with a solid estimate & guarantee of workmanship within 48 hours. WOW! Impressive. I took my time with my decision and I’m happy to report I was not hounded or pressured in any way. I believe it was around day 10 when I received a text wondering if I had any questions - I hired PP that day. The ongoing, respectful, honest communication was refreshing and I’m happy to say it continued through to projects end. Proper Painters started on time and on the mutually agreed upon date. We did a walk thru with the project manager Jack lead painter, Elvin to ensure everyone was on the same page and then the transformation began. Two painters worked diligently for 4 days to complete the interior. They were conscientious, detail oriented, efficient and above all skilled. I was kept informed of day to day progress and the overall timeline. Once the interior was done the shutters were addressed. I had very old vinyl shutters in need of replacement & I wanted the new ones painted yellow. Dave was the only person who took the time to talk to me about options and because of this conversation I was able to confidently make the decision to replace the old vinyl with brand new wooden shutters. Problem solved!!!! Note: this seems like an easy solution but no other contractor wanted to “deal” with it. The wooden shutters were primed & painted in a custom shade that I absolutely love. The entire project took 6 days start to finish. I couldn’t be happier! I’m ringing in the New Year in a fresh “new” house, what better way to welcome 2026. Thank you Dave, Jack, Elvin & JulioPosted on Danessa KnauppTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a terrific experience start to finish! Beth the color consultant was prompt and super helpful, Jack was responsive and friendly and knowledgeable, and Elvin and the painters were prompt, talented and FAST! highly recommend and wish all contractors worked as well as this team.Posted on Anne PickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Proper Painters was recommended to me and I am doing the same. They were professional, on time, cleaned up the mess from drywall sanding, within a price range I was willing to pay, and completed the job 10 days after signing estimate. The work included, removal of popcorn ceiling, drywall tape and mud of ceiling, drywall repair, and all the painting including baseboards, doors, and closets. Would I hire them again, absolutely.Posted on Melissa FaryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great experience from start to finish. Dave came out quickly to give me an estimate for the job. He explained everything to me perfectly about the entire process. He suggested Beth come out to help me settle on colors (this service is free, I highly recommend using it). She was great and then I was scheduled. Jack said 3 1/2 days and they were finished in 3 1/4 days. Gui painted 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, Living Room, kitchen, dining area and foyer beautifully. Everything is clean and gorgeous. I highly recommend Proper Painters.Posted on Leslie BlackwellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently used Proper Painters for an interior paint job and I have zero complaints about the process from start to finish. It was easy to get a quote, easy to schedule, and the quality was great.

Cabinet refinishing requires specialized expertise beyond standard painting services. Our team uses professional techniques including thorough degreasing, specialized primers, and high-quality cabinet enamel paint that creates a smooth, factory-like finish designed to last 10 to 15 years or more.
We begin every project with proper cleaning and degreasing to remove dirt and cooking residue, followed by careful sanding to create smooth surfaces. Next comes application of specialized bonding primers designed for cabinet materials, ensuring paint adheres properly and creates a durable foundation that prevents chipping and peeling.
We exclusively use quality products specifically designed for cabinetry, not standard wall paint. Our selection includes water-based polyurethane blends and low-VOC eco-friendly options that provide exceptional durability while maintaining safe indoor air quality. These premium finishes deliver a long lasting finish that withstands daily use.
Our painters remove cabinet doors and drawer fronts for off-site spray painting in controlled conditions, eliminating mess and disruption in your home. This professional approach creates smooth, brush-stroke-free finishes that resemble new cabinets. We pay close attention to every detail and maintain dependable scheduling throughout the process.
Cabinet painting is a cost effective way to enhance your home's aesthetic without the expense of complete remodeling. Professional refinishing can save between 50% and 70% of replacement costs while achieving stunning results. The typical cost for cabinet painting in Richmond, VA ranges from $2,500 to $7,000 for an average kitchen, making it an excellent investment for homeowners.
Cabinet refinishing focuses on restoring and enhancing existing cabinet surfaces, often using stains or clear finishes to preserve the natural look of wood, while cabinet painting covers cabinets with solid color for complete transformation. The refinishing process generally involves sanding down the existing finish and applying new stains or clear coats, while painting involves applying primer and paint to achieve new color and finish. Both can last 10 to 15 years when properly cleaned, sanded, and finished with professional-grade products, though painted cabinets typically require reapplication slightly more frequently depending on wear. Contact us at 804-592-6929 to discuss which option suits your vision.
Most cabinet refinishing projects are completed in 3 to 5 days using a controlled process to contain dust and manage odors, allowing homeowners to maintain kitchen functionality during the project. The process involves removing cabinet doors off-site for spray painting, which minimizes disruption to your space. We work efficiently while maintaining our quality standards, ensuring thorough surface preparation, proper drying time between coats, and careful reinstallation of all components. Full curing for maximum hardness and durability takes 30 to 45 days after completion. Schedule your free consultation to discuss your project timeline.
