I always have a fantastic experience working with Mike. He is extremely detailed, does high-quality work, and communicates clearly throughout the entire process. Pricing was fair and transparent, and he actually finished ahead of schedule. The end result exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled painter.

Deciding to go with Mike and 253 painters was an easy decision. The price was equal to the competitive bid from another vendor for the same amount of work to include 2 coats of paint. I like to support local businesses and both estimates were with local but one bid was the completion of the entire project in one day using 7-8 day painters. Mikes bid he made after finishing another project at the end of his day. We believe this show him to have his priorities straight with new potential business/customers. Plus he is the painter and has a small family crew to assist him. Taking his time to paint our tri level home was key for us in the hot days of July. After pressure washing and prep work over the course of two days main house paint went on and allowed to dry before secondary painting and trim paint was applied. Process took 4 days instead of 5 and took less paint than projected. We keep the extra paint. Mike removed our gutters as part of the job because were having house roof replaced this made painting easier and more complete. Work was outstanding and we are very happy with the job done. Compliments from neighbors has resulted in additional business for Mike and crew. All of my concerns before during and after painting were listened to and applied.

Very pleased with all aspects of 253 Painters. From the bid, assisting with colors, clean-up, communication, professionalism and personable personality...top notch across the board. Him and his family also ensured my gates were shut and locked everytime they left so my dogs wouldn't get out . I highly recommend Mike and we will use his services again if needed. Sorry, photos are not in order...but I think it's obvious which is new. Thanks Mike!

Frequently asked questions
Cabinet Refinishing Questions
Most common asked questions about cabinet refinishing.
Cabinet refinishing is the process of updating your existing cabinets by cleaning, sanding, repairing, priming, and applying a fresh professional finish. Instead of tearing out your cabinets and replacing them, refinishing keeps the existing cabinet boxes and doors while giving them a completely new look. For homeowners in Puyallup, cabinet refinishing is a great way to refresh a kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, or built-in storage area without the cost of a full remodel.
Yes, cabinet refinishing is usually much more affordable than full cabinet replacement. Replacing cabinets often involves demolition, new materials, installation, possible countertop adjustments, and additional remodeling costs. Cabinet refinishing allows you to keep your current layout while improving the look of your home with a clean, updated finish.
Yes, many older cabinets can be refinished as long as the cabinet structure is still in good condition. Outdated oak, maple, stained wood, or builder-grade cabinets can often be transformed with the right preparation and finish. Cabinet refinishing is especially popular for Puyallup homeowners who want to modernize their kitchen without replacing solid cabinets that still function well.
Yes, painted cabinets can hold up very well when they are properly prepared and finished with the right products. The key is using a professional process that includes degreasing, sanding, bonding primer, and durable cabinet-grade coatings. Kitchens and bathrooms get a lot of daily use, so proper prep work is what helps prevent peeling, chipping, and uneven wear.
In most cases, cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed so they can be refinished properly. This allows for cleaner edges, smoother coverage, and a more professional-looking final result. The cabinet boxes are usually refinished in place while the surrounding countertops, floors, walls, and appliances are carefully protected.
Cabinet painting usually refers to applying a painted finish to cabinets, while cabinet refinishing can include painting, staining, clear coating, or restoring the existing wood appearance.
