What is faux finishing?
Faux finishing is a painting technique used to create
the illusion of texture on a wall. We perform specialty finishes including
sponging, ragging, multi-fleck and furniture finishes
It's appropriate on drywall, plaster or wood, and it
requires no more preparation than any other new paint job, just a clean,
primed surface ready for finishing.
Do you wallpaper?
Yes. We can remove any wallpaper covering
that is currently up and apply your choice of new wallpaper.

Exteriors
Which color is right for my house?
The right exterior color can keep a small house from
looking smaller, split- levels from looking top-heavy and colonials from
seeming awkwardly tall. Here is some tips when considering colors:
 |
Look at the style of
your home. Choose light colors for smaller homes to lessen the
disparity between the body and the trim. Contrast is beneficial with
some home styles (Victorian, for example), to accentuate
architectural features. Slightly darker colors on larger homes can
look dynamic |
|
|
 |
Notice the
"fixed" colors of your home. Brick, stone, unpainted
masonry or roof shingles should be compatible with the exterior
paint color you are considering |
|
|
 |
Find out about local
restrictions. Many historic areas and newer subdivisions provide a
list of "recommended colors" |
|
|
 |
Don't overlook your
neighbors' homes. While you want your home to be distinctive from
your neighbors, the color you select should coordinate with it, too |
|
|
 |
Take a cue from nature.
Pick a color that agrees with the environment surrounding your home |
