Job photos

Their jobs, start to finish.

Every photo here is a Reeves Painting job. They are grouped by job, not by date, and each group runs in the order the crew worked: papered windows before paint, rooms sealed in plastic before a ceiling is skimmed, tile out before a vanity goes in. If you want something like what you see, read about the painting services, the additional services like bath remodels, or ask Josh for a free written estimate.

Job two

Tented, bagged, skimmed, painted.

Job four

Cabinets sprayed where they hang.

The kitchen is sealed in plastic, a painter climbs the ladder for the uppers, and the island stays wrapped until the finish is down. The first three photos show that process. The rest are finished kitchens, with two in-progress shots of new oak cabinets at the end. Details on cabinet painting.
