Boston's Finish Painting Specialists
Walls are the easy part of a paint job. The trim, the doors, the cabinetry, the millwork — that's where the eye lands, where the hand touches, and where craftsmanship either shows or falls apart. A wall with a roller mark is forgivable. A door with brush strokes, a crown molding with gapped miters, or cabinetry with drips is not. Finework was built to do that fine finish work at the highest level.
For twenty years we've specialized in finish painting across Boston's finest homes — Back Bay brownstones, Beacon Hill townhouses, Newton estates, and new builds. We spray where a glass-smooth surface matters, hand-finish where precision does, and obsess over the prep in between: filling, sanding, caulking, and priming so the final coat is flawless. We refinish tired cabinetry to a hard, furniture-grade lacquer, sharpen tired trim to crisp caulked lines, and finish new millwork so it looks like it was always meant to be there. It's slower, more exacting work than rolling walls — and it's the difference between a painted house and a genuinely custom home.

Why Ours Looks Custom
The three things that separate furniture-grade finish work from an ordinary repaint.
Prep Between Every Coat
We fill, sand, and prime, then sand again between coats. It's the patient work that makes the final surface glass-smooth.
The Right Method for the Piece
Sprayed for smoothness, hand-finished for precision. We choose the technique the piece demands, not the fastest one.
The Details Are the Job
Caulked seams, crisp lines, clean hardware, sharp miters. On finish work, the small details are the entire point.
New Kitchen, Without the Remodel
There's no faster, more cost-effective way to transform a kitchen than refinishing the cabinetry — and no finish where the difference between amateur and professional is more obvious. Brush-painted cabinets look brush-painted: streaky, soft, and sticky at the edges. Sprayed cabinets, done right, look like new custom millwork — a smooth, hard, even lacquer surface with zero brush marks, that holds up to daily use for years.
That's the transformation we deliver. We remove doors and drawer fronts, clean and de-gloss, fill and sand, prime with a bonding primer, and spray multiple thin coats of a durable cabinet-grade finish, sanding between each for glass smoothness. We can spray in place or in our shop, match any color, and reinstall with precision. The result is cabinetry that looks and feels like a full replacement at a fraction of the cost and disruption — the single highest-impact finish project in most homes.
- ✓Sprayed, not brushed — no marks
- ✓Hard, durable cabinet-grade finish
- ✓Any color, precisely matched
- ✓A fraction of a kitchen remodel

Finish Painting FAQ
What makes a sprayed finish better?
Spraying atomizes the paint into a fine mist that lays down in an even, ultra-thin film with no brush or roller texture — the result is the smooth, hard, factory-like finish you see on fine furniture and quality cabinetry. Brushing and rolling, no matter how skilled, leave some texture and stroke marks that catch light and read as 'painted.' For trim, doors, and especially cabinetry, spraying (with proper prep and sanding between coats) is what separates a furniture-grade result from an ordinary repaint. It takes more masking and skill, which is exactly our specialty.
Can you refinish my kitchen cabinets?
Yes — cabinet refinishing is one of our most popular and highest-impact services. We remove the doors and drawer fronts, clean and de-gloss all surfaces, fill and sand imperfections, apply a bonding primer, and spray multiple thin coats of a durable, cabinet-grade finish, sanding between coats for smoothness. We can work in place or spray in our shop, match virtually any color, and reinstall precisely. The result looks like brand-new custom cabinetry for a fraction of the cost and mess of a full replacement.
Do you do crown molding and wainscoting?
Absolutely — architectural millwork is core to what we do. We finish crown molding, baseboards, casing, wainscoting, board-and-batten, coffered ceilings, built-ins, and paneling to a crisp, smooth, seamless standard. That means caulking every seam, filling and sanding nail holes, and cutting clean lines where the millwork meets the wall and ceiling. Whether it's existing trim that needs a refresh or brand-new millwork from your carpenter, we finish it so it looks architectural and intentional.
Will the smell or mess bother us?
We keep both to a minimum. We use low-odor, low-VOC products wherever the finish allows, ventilate properly, and can spray cabinetry and removable pieces in our shop to keep fumes and overspray out of your living space entirely. For on-site work, we mask and contain thoroughly, protect your floors and furniture, and clean up completely each day. Fine finish work should feel like a white-glove service, not a disruptive construction project — and we work hard to keep it that way.
How long does finish work take?
It depends on the scope and the number of coats — finish work is deliberately unhurried because the quality comes from proper drying and sanding between coats. A set of interior doors or a room of trim might be a few days; a full kitchen cabinet refinish typically runs about a week including prep, spraying, and curing. We'll give you a realistic timeline at your quote and never rush a coat, because on a surface people see and touch every day, patience is what makes it flawless.
