CCC did an amazing job painting our 20 year old wood cabinets. The work was pristine quality, the guys were professional and pleasant and the job was done in even less time than they estimated. We had a few extra requests in altering the mullions on our glass front cabinets, and they helped us achieve the look we were after. Their work is even better than we thought it could be. They brought new life to a dull, drab kitchen. We highly recommend them.

Michael and Columbus Cabinet Coatings were all great to work with from start to finish. Shelia was able to get us scheduled for a quote and then the project in a reasonable time. The guys did an excellent job, sanding, priming and painting all my cabinets and they look brand new! I couldn’t be happier with the finished job. They were always polite, on time, very pleasant and most of all, hard workers. They really do care about the customer’s satisfaction. I am so glad I had them complete this project! They made the biggest impact in my new updated kitchen!

At the time that the job was completed, I don't have any problems. But now the paints are wearing of to the drawers.

Wow. These guys are wonderful. We have worked with many contractors renovating 3 old homes. These guys may be the best. They are from a different time where contractors cared about their work and watched every last detail. There were simply great to work with. The quality of the cabinet painting made us feel dumb for every buying new cabinets. You get so beat down by mediocre contractors. People who operate at this level are a breath of fresh air.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with this company. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their cabinets repainted. Mike and his partner were professional, punctual, trustworthy and experienced. They were neat and clean, and clearly take pride in their work. Our cabinets now look brand new, like they came straight from the factory. Finding a company who could do both the painting and the woodwork was a huge bonus for us. The paint finish is beautiful, and the wood trim work was done perfectly. We absolutely love our new kitchen and are so glad we chose this company.

It went great. Shelia is very easy to work with for scheduling. Michael is punctual and provides your estimate upon his first visit. He is very thorough and receptive to questions and idea. Both he and Sheldon are very neat and clean up afterwards. All cabinets look great!

From start to finish, quote to last day of work, it went very well. Can't say enough about what a great experience I had with Columbus Cabinet Coatings. I had gotten other quotes but was very happy that I chose to work with this company. They had an eye for detail. They sanded and painted all cabinets, installed the molding and trim at the tops and bottoms of my cabinets, and finally installed knobs and bumpers. Highly recommend this company if you are looking for this type of work done on your cabinets. My only regret is that I didn't go ahead and get bead board/wainscoting installed! Should have done it...

CCC was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I originally talked to Sheila to schedule my service, and she was prompt in all her responses back to me and detailed in her questions. I was originally disappointed that they were so busy that I had to schedule my service a little later than I was hoping, but it was completely worth the wait! They are busy because they are that good! When it was time to come, they arrived on time and were so nice and professional. There were no surprises, and each day they came they completely cleaned up and put everything back the way they found it. When they completed the job, I felt like I had brand cabinets! They did my entire kitchen, including floor to 10 foot ceiling cabinets and an extremely large island. They also did my master bath and an additional bathroom, as well as a wet bar and my laundry room. It's been several months and there hasn't been a single chip, scratch or problem. It feels like my cabinets were factory finished, and I get compliments every time someone comes into the house. I can't recommend CCC strongly enough! They cost more than a typical painter would charge, but they are worth the price a million times over!

Mike and his partner were extremely professional. They did an excellent job and I was very comfortable having them in my home. He kept me updated on the timing of the project and was always punctual. I could tell they were very detail oriented and took pride in their work. I would absolutely recommend this company. We had other quotes for this project and CCC's prices were lower.

I can tell Mike takes pride in his work. He and his crew made the job simple for us as he did a great job of fulfilling everything we discussed on the initial consult. I am amazed at the end product! I was nervous about sanding down existing 15 yr. old cabinets then repainting vs. purchasing new but the end result was fantastic! My kitchen looks like we put a new set of cabinets in them. They were no grain marks visible and the finish coat is dead on a cabinet from the factory. Trustworthy guy and price was very fair. I would highly recommend CCC.

Mike and his crew did an outstanding job with our kitchen cabinets! His professionalism, punctuality and attention to detail were outstanding. We had been considering a kitchen renovation and replacing out cabinets, but decided to go with Mike instead. They were 20 year old cabinets in an oak finish, and Mike and his crew gave them an off white with a brown glaze finish. We feel like we have a new kitchen at a fraction of the price! I would absolutely recommend CCC if you are considering having your cabinets painted!

We had a great experience with Columbus Cabinet Coatings. Mike was very friendly, professional and the finished product looks outstanding. He kept his schedule to the day that he originally promised, and during the process continually checked with us to make sure we were happy with how it was going. He took a ton of pride in his word and really put a lot of effort into the small things like filling the gaps between the cabinets, fixing chips, straightened a full cabinet doors and pulls that were not installed correctly originally, etc. We would 100% recommend him, his work was outstanding and his prices were thousands cheaper than a few of the other estimates we had received.

They did a great job from the initial appointment to the completion of the job. Mike was great he met our time line and with the job being so big he had no problems coming back and touching things up because I'm picky. Lol I truly feel that there are a lot of painters out there but nobody could have done as good of job as mike did. Thanks mike we love our new home.

The overall quality and final product is good but for the higher price paid and positive reviews I saw here I expected a better degree of customer service and greater attention to details.
Mike was professional during the estimate and let us know he had a several month wait to begin work. He began on the exact date promised and spent 2 weeks working on our cabinets (mostly at his shop). When he returned to reinstall the cabinet doors there was still wood showing in the edges/cracks and that bothered me. When I asked him about it he was defensive and rude and argued that it was the grain showing through. It was not until I persisted that he agreed to go back and touch up the cracks where wood was showing through. It looked better after that.
A couple of months later, the paint had cracked in the crevices on almost every cabinet door. When I called and asked Michael about it, he argued that it was just the grain showing through and there was nothing he could do. I communicated that I was unhappy with the result of his work and he told me that I was entitled to my opinion.
A month ago, I decided to try one more time before we paid someone else to repair it. I emailed updated photos to Michael Flood and he responded that he believed the caulk used in the crack was bad and said he could fix it. We set up an appointment for a few weeks out, he came to pick up the doors, repaired and re-installed them a week later. Four months later we finally have the results we were originally hoping for.

Response from Columbus Cabinet Coatings
"Here at Columbus Cabinet Coatings we absolutely value your opinion, and would like to thank you for your review as it helps us to provide a better service in the future. Unfortunately, we feel as if there was a failure to communicate on our part, in this situation. If you recall during the estimate we described the process as follows. Step 1, remove all doors and drawer fronts. Step 2, using a mild detergent and water, clean and sand (all in one step). As long as the current coating is intact there is no need to remove it, so a sanding sponge or piece of sand paper is sufficient. Step 3, prime, using a bonding primer. Step 4, sand. Step 5, two coats of finish, paint designed specifically for cabinets. At this point it was mentioned that the paint will not eliminate the oak grain of your cabinets, but simply mask the grain. Step 6, reinstall doors and drawer fronts. As far as hardware goes, if you look at your invoice you'll notice that there is not a charge to install hardware. We stated that if you wanted to get new hardware we can install it for you, meaning, most people when having their cabinets painted opt for new hardware and it only makes sense that since we remove the old ones to go ahead a replace with new ones. Since the new hardware was unavailable while we were there to install the doors and drawers we couldn't install them. The wood showing in the edges and cracks that you refer to, is the oak grain, which, as we stated above and at the time of the estimate cannot be eliminated, only masked. The quality of the work that we provided you was no different then any other job that we've done prior to yours. So, upon your persistent request we agreed to do "touch ups" in an effort to provide the best customer service we can. Due to the fact that we followed each step exactly as we said we would and to which you agreed, we feel there is no further action we can take. Once again, thank you for your review as we'll definitely use this as a learning experience."

I found Michael to be very professional, knowledgeable and honest. He arrived on time and was very meticulous cleaning up after himself. I was originally going to paint the cabinets myself...but I watched a "how-to video" online and there were too many steps involved...so I called CCC. He explained the entire process to me when he gave me the estimate...and it was well worth the cost! And much cheaper than purchasing new cabinets. Our cabinets were nice, but they were wood laminated and looked dated. I had them painted white and they look fresh and up-to-date now thanks to Michael. I highly recommend Columbus Cabinet Coatings for this type of work! You won't be disappointed.
My only complaint is directed to Angie's List, as I had a VERY HARD time finding a vendor who painted cabinets! They list painters, but nothing this specific. I urge Angie's List to create a category just for this as I'm sure others have had the same experience.
Response from Columbus Cabinet Coatings
"Thank you for your feedback and review! We're so happy we had the opportunity to serve you! We're sorry to hear how difficult it was to find us on Angie's List and hope that in the near future this problem can be resolved. Again, we appreciate your review and doing business with us! Thank you for supporting the local economy!"

after debating for years whether to paint by old cabs. or rip them out and replace them I was finally convinced to try the paint route after seeing the examples of the work of Columbus Cabinet Coating at the last home and garden show. I am so glad I did. the results are great, the experience was painless and I just could not be more pleased.

We were provided with reminder calls a few days before the date of service. Mike was prompt on both dates, He was professional and friendly. He explained exactly what was going to happen and the amount of time needed.
We are so pleased with our cabinets and have had numerous compliments.
We are having him come back in January and paint both of our upstairs bathrooms.
Would highly recommend him!

CCC did a good job as far as painting goes; however, his pricing is too high. I knew it was high going into the job; however, from reading the other reviews, I expected to have an experience that was above and beyond simple painting. I knew I had some issues with a few of my drawers and some of my cabinets and working with CCC and paying a higher fee, I expected him to do minor repairs and/or provide some sort of value add. My experience was really the exact opposite. He was here to paint and only to paint. He did not make any suggestions or express an opinion on anything and simply painted the colors I told him to paint.
When I saw the color on the island that I'd chosen, it didn't go very well with my countertops and I mentioned it to him. He told me to just wait and see if I'd get used to it. I then contacted him two days later and asked if I could change the color out and he stated he just finished all the drawers and doors for the island the previous day so he would have to charge 50% more to just repaint the doors and drawers or 75% more of the original cost to repaint everything and I'd have to wait a month. He later offered 50% to repaint all of it but I'd still have to wait a month. With how much I paid in the first place and the schedule in which I wanted this done, this wouldn't work for me. I ended up repainting the bathroom cabinet and the island including all doors/drawers myself in less than 4 hours total.
Another slight issue is he paints quite a bit without taping or plastic. For the most part, he is very neat; however, I have dark brown flooring and the spray from the paint got on the floor. I mentioned this to him and he did scrape some of it off on a couple points but I still keep finding white paint spray here and there, especially in the grooves of the floor.
Overall, he is a good, dependable painter, but his fee is not in line with a good, dependable painter.

Response from Columbus Cabinet Coatings
"Hello, Thank you for your honesty as it helps us to see areas in which we need to work on to provide better service to our customers! We are sincerely apologetic you did not have the experience you had hoped for but we do feel the need to clarify a few things. First, as we recall, repairs were never discussed but we are only a coating company, meaning we only do minor cosmetic repairs to cabinet surfaces as we prep for multiple steps in our process. We are beyond simply painting as we have an extensive process which is explained on our website and in person and the end result is a smooth sprayed finish on the doors and drawers. When choosing your colors you seemed very confident in your choices, so there seemed to be no need to second guess them. Unfortunately, when you mentioned you were unsure of the color, at that time that entire portion of the job was complete and would have to be refinished as if from the beginning. We apologize we could not do that immediately for you. A 50% discount was offered only because the prep work such as cleaning, priming and sanding was already completed so refinishing everything a second time would take about half the time because a few steps had been eliminated. For the paint mentioned on your floors, we always use drop clothes and are very careful to clean up but unfortunately we must've missed an area, and are more than willing to remove any left behind. Please feel free to contact us and we will make a visit to clean the area if needed. We believe our pricing is extremely reasonable and competitive. If you read our "About Us" page on our website our goal is to provide families with a great service that is budget friendly. Typically we are a fraction of the cost of many other options such as cabinet refacing or replacing. Again, we apologize that we were not able to meet your expectations as we like to please our customers and strive to do our best. Thank you, CCC Columbus Cabinet Coatings"
