We are delighted with the new kitchen makeover, and there have been no end to friends and familly complimenting the fine work that was done. Thanks for a job well done. Richard and Annie
We are so grateful we found Marie and Jim to help us refresh our 26-year-old kitchen cabinets! After all these years, we still loved them so much, but the doors and drawer fronts were in need of TLC. Because they were a custom color, distressed, and a unique glaze color had been used on them originally, it was completely out of our wheelhouse to attempt ourselves. We chose the "shop drop" option, as our base was in great shape and did not need painting. Marie and Jim did an outstanding job color matching and replicating the original finish. It was a true labor of love that only Marie's artistic talent could achieve. She nailed the distressing. Our goal was to bring them back to their original glory, and they are perfect. We highly recommend Crane-Yvon Interiors. They are insanely good at what they do, professional, and just great people! ~Melissa & Rob G.
We had them paint our kitchen cabinets. Crane-Yvon interiors seem very knowledgeable and were very professional. However, the finish on our cabinets could have been better. From a distance they look great but as you get up close we can a lot of areas that need more paint. Overall, we are happy to have the cabinets painted but we were a little disappointed with the end result, especially when considering the cost involved.
Jim and Marie were amazing to work with from initial consult to final install. They were informative, provided recommendations and explained timelines and process in advance. Jim updated me daily as to how things were going and spent extra time being meticulous. He wouldn’t stop until he was fully satisfied with his work. I can’t say enough great things about my experience and the final outcome. My kitchen looks brand new!
We cannot say enough about Marie and Jim... from our very first meeting, I was certain we'd made the right choice. Every step in the process was explained in great detail..there were no surprises and the end result is unbelievable!! Marie and Jim are two of the kindest people I have ever met!!! We highly recommend them if you are considering cabinet painting...
