We painted the cabinets, filled tons of chips, changed the doors by custom ordering them for the customer in their choice of design by a company we have an account with that has them made in Mexico for about 30% american cost, painted sink, also the appliances in professional grade metalic stainless paint, painted floor tile in a high solids porcelain urethane white after an aerospace use type primer and a high solids chemically hardened chear coat, and matched the backsplash the same way.

I know First American Title, and I think Fidelity Title offer national field services… Try their web site… I bet you can find out what you are looking for.
