Andrew did an amazing job on our kitchen cabinets. He meticulously attended to restoring worn areas and removing that gunky buildup from 26 years of use. He was always prompt. Communicated clearly about next steps. This is no strip, sand and spray paint operation. It is ART! So so happy! Really great guy to talk with!

Andrew was very professional from start to finish with clear communications and prompt schedule. He delivered as promised and the new piece goes well next to the existing kitchen cabinets. He did a great job matching the color visually while in the house.

Wonderfully. I made an appointment with Andrew. He arrived right on time. We went thru all the work that needed to be done . He told me it would be 3 weeks, that he worked alone, that he would take the cabinet doors away to prep them, which is the most important step and he would do 3 coats of paint. Some of the cabinet fronts were not removable, so would need to be done in place. He came 3 times and worked on them in place - each time emailing me to remind me he was coming and always right on time. He was pleasant, friendly, and a joy to have around. The job was done on time and I felt I had a new kitchen. He reinstalled the doors, put the hardware back on and left the kitchen spotless when he left. Akon extremely well done.

Andrew gave us estimates and went to work. He painted the cabinets in the main bath going above the number of coats quoted. He refreshed our burgundy on birch bathroom cabinets with many (14?) coats to get rid of a clouding. We also had him build new glass doors and match the color of the 20 year old natural oak doors. They are perfect. He wants to do it once so that he doesn't have to come back... We have one more job for him in a few weeks, we have no qualms that the work will be done right and be perfect.

He was terrific. Not only is he extremely talented with the refinishing process, but he is very puntual, neat, and considerate. He was one of the most enjoyable people to have around, and both my wife and I enjoyed his sense of humor and personality. I can honestly say that we were both sorry to see the job end because we enjoyed Andrew so much. I would highly recommend him to everyone on Angie's List knowing that you will get a fair price and great work and most importantly a great person to work with.

He came and looked at the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and gave an estimate, informed everything through emails and phone calls and was very sincere and punctual. He works like an artist, very carefully. He will finish the job on time. He tells you everything upfront, like how many days it will take to finish the job and he'll make sure that he finishes on time with high quality. I would recommend him to my friends!

Mr Draves came to the house, provided us an estimate for the work with details including samples, estimated length of the project and how he would do the work.  He completed the entire job in 5 weeks which he had estimated.  He removed all of the faces of the cabinets and hardware- added molding, painted all of the trim- the cabinets look brand new.  He was professional, responsive, and clean.

Andrew was extremely easy to work with.  He was very punctual and made a point of explaining every step he was going to take in restoring the cabinets.  I was very pleased with the outcome.

I was very happy with the work that was done. Mine was an extensive job of many cabinets, bottom and top, some with glass insets and numerous drawer fronts. Andrew was very willing to do all the necessary repairs to my aging cabinets so that the paint would appear with a smooth finish and would match the existing paint. The cabinets were sanded, repaired and beautifully repainted and the work is holding up well. Andrew was very conscientious about it all and finished the job when he had said he would.
