Finishing Touch Painting & Refinishing

Finishing Touch Painting & Refinishing is an Amesbury painting company that's become known as much for cabinet refinishing as for house paint. Across 64 reviews spanning 2021 through 2026, the pattern barely varies: crews that show up on time, protect the house obsessively before opening a can of paint, and leave the site as clean as they found it — praise repeated by name for owner Ryan and project manager Jessica. Cabinet work comes up again and again as a specialty. One reviewer had dark brown, dated cabinets turned white with what they called a factory-quality finish and new hardware — for a fraction of the cost of replacing them. Another describes Ryan securing a cabinet maker, measuring each unit, and installing new shaker panels rather than just repainting what was there. A more recent review describes a full day of prep — hanging poly, covering counters and appliances, masking every edge — before the crew opened a single can, on an open-concept kitchen where sealing off the workspace was its own challenge. On the exterior side, reviewers describe full house repaints, siding repair, and front-door refinishing, including a recent job that finished a large house inside a week with two fresh coats after a full sand-and-prep. One reviewer, in a house nearly 150 years old, said it hadn't looked this good in the 30-plus years they'd lived there. Several customers came back for additional rooms or projects after an initial job — one family had the crew back twice more after painting their first and second floors. There's one real account worth knowing about: in a 2023 review, a customer describes spending an hour walking Ryan through a large interior project, then never hearing back when they followed up for the quote — they ended up hiring a different painter instead. It's the one break in an otherwise remarkably consistent record, and it's about responsiveness on a big, complex quote rather than the quality of finished work. Finishing Touch is a strong pick for both everyday painting and cabinet refinishing specifically — homeowners considering the cabinet route in particular should ask to see examples of their finish work, since that's the specialty reviewers keep singling out. If you're chasing a quote on a large or complex project, it's worth following up proactively rather than waiting to hear back.
