Finishing Touch Painting & Refinishing

The cabinets are the thing here. In a 2023 review, a homeowner who had dark brown, outdated kitchen cabinets turned white wrote that what came back was a factory-quality finish with new hardware, and that it saved them thousands against replacing the boxes. A February 2026 customer who had kitchen, dining and living room cabinets refinished put it plainly: the process Ryan uses is equal to or better than the original factory finish. Finishing Touch Painting & Refinishing is Ryan Tiezzi's shop in Amesbury, doing residential interior and exterior painting alongside cabinet and millwork spray finishing. The site says it has served Seacoast customers for 18 years and lists Amesbury and Newburyport as its area. Prep is where reviewers spend their words. An October 2024 customer spelled out the sequence — scrape, fill, sand, prime, two coats — on a job that grew into full interior and exterior painting. In a 2021 review, a couple with an open-concept first floor described the crew spending nearly a whole day hanging poly and covering counters to seal the kitchen off before spraying. A February 2026 customer had three rooms painted and noted the crew arriving prepared and on time every day, moving furniture and covering surfaces before starting. Bigger jobs show up regularly. In a July 2026 review, a large house was sanded, prepped and given two fresh coats in a color change, finished inside a week and cleaned up after. A December 2024 customer had exterior clapboards and trim painted, the wood front door refinished and the cedar shingles cleaned. In an August 2024 review, the owners of a nearly 150-year-old house said it had not looked that good in the thirty-plus years they had lived there. And in a June 2026 review, Ryan picked up a job after the homeowner's original painter hit scheduling trouble mid-renovation. One thing to press on is getting the number. In a May 2023 review, a customer rated three stars after spending about an hour walking Ryan through a big interior project involving cabinetry and a lot of woodwork, then never hearing back with a quote. If you are pricing a large job, agree when the estimate will land and chase it. For kitchen cabinets you would rather refinish than replace, or an older house that needs real prep before paint, this is a spray-finishing specialist first and a painter second. Check that your town falls inside the service area, and get the prep steps and the coat count written into the estimate.
