Wood Restoration & Painting

Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing… A unique and inexpensive way to update your kitchen.

You can design your own kitchen to fit your wallet. Refinish with a dark stain or have it painted a timeless white… Accent with new knobs and pulls. Change your countertops or maybe you won’t have to, once you have done your own cabinets. A clean paint job on the walls or maybe change your light fixtures to compliment. New backsplash? You can make your kitchen look like you gutted it all and then began all over again without actually doing it. You don’t have to spend a lot to make it look brand new.

It’s the New Age of Restoration. Save the good wood and help save the planet at the same time. No dumping in the landfills. I can help you achieve this goal. Coming from the Boston area, we have woods that are hundreds of years old. Take care of it and it will last more than a lifetime.

The videos are step by step, easy to follow. My hopes are to keep what you have in your home, to learn a new skill to seek employment and/or I would love to see you build your own businesses.

After 34 years of restoration in homes, I am now consulting live via internet (by appointment). This way you can show me your projects that you are planning and seek information that you will need.

Testimonials

Following Jay was a breeze, she was so excited when telling me about how to use colored stain on my cabinets and had amazing insight and details. I have experience with refinishing but without studying up on it or having major experience, I would have never obtained the tips and tricks that she had in her back pocket! Her years of experience shows in her passion and in her work and the outcome of my projects.

– Katrina Trautman

I have used the techniques that she has taught me for my wood projects. Her step by step was easy to follow and by following her gave me the confidence I needed. Projects that we did together were of higher quality than the normal paint jobs.

– Dede Gracey

I started working for Jay as a young neighborhood kid looking for extra summer spending money. From Day 1, there was a standard of excellence that was swiftly established and nothing less would do. Between her attention to detail, and step by step processes, I’ve been able to better organize my own jobs, prioritizing and properly creating best work practices that have helped me in every other field I’ve been a part of in my adult life. One can be assured that learning under Jay means a few of the following words: Prompt Dedicated Efficiency without detriment to Quality PASSION: you can see the love that’s been put into the work and the end result speaks highly for itself.

– Saberlin Armitstead

Jay Barnhart trained me beginning with the basics. I learned the tedious processes that Jay developed with prepping and painting not realizing all the detailed work and timely thinking that all went into the restoration of woodwork. Jay was a phenomenal mentor. but the main thing that insured my success was to make sure that I learned the upmost quality to every handmade technique implemented to each clients home ensuring the most quality work for our client. This all helped build my appreciation that Jay has for the art.. The end result was witnessing clients faces as their kitchen transformed into their new kitchen they designed themselves.

– Alexander Mora
