Specialty & Custom Finishes
Advanced finishes and detailed surface work for homeowners who want more than standard paint.
What “Specialty & Custom” Means
Specialty and custom finishes go beyond standard painting. These projects require advanced preparation, layered techniques, and an experienced hand to achieve depth, texture, and consistency that can’t be rushed or replicated with basic methods. Unlike traditional paint work, specialty finishes are often tailored to the home, the lighting, and the surrounding materials. Each project is approached with careful planning, testing, and execution to ensure the final result feels intentional, cohesive, and built to last. This type of work demands precision, patience, and judgment — which is why it’s not commonly offered and why the results stand apart.
What Specialty & Custom Finishes Include
Glaze & Faux Finishes
Layered finishes that add depth, warmth, and character beyond flat paint. These techniques create subtle movement and dimension, resulting in a finish that feels rich, intentional, and truly one of a kind.
Built-Ins, Staircases & Detailed Trim
Complex surfaces that require careful preparation and consistent execution. From staircases to custom built-ins, this work demands precision and attention to detail to achieve a clean, durable finish across every angle and profile.
Restoration & Specialty Repaints
Addressing worn, uneven, or previously finished surfaces that need expert correction. With the right prep and approach, older or problematic finishes can be restored and refined rather than replaced
Why don't most painters offer this?
Because specialty finishes require advanced prep, controlled spraying, and years of hands-on experience. Most painters are set up for standard wall and trim work—not the level of precision, materials, and process these finishes demand. We are.
What makes a finish “specialty”?
A specialty finish goes beyond a single coat of paint. It may involve glazing, staining, layered color work, custom sheens, or detailed techniques that create depth, character, and a truly custom look. These finishes are built intentionally—not rushed.
Can you match inspiration photos?
Yes. We regularly work from inspiration photos and samples. Our process includes test boards and adjustments to ensure the final finish closely matches the look, tone, and feel you’re aiming for—before anything is applied in your home.
Are these finishes durable?
Absolutely. We use professional-grade coatings and proven application methods designed for kitchens and high-use areas. When properly cared for, specialty finishes are just as durable as standard painted surfaces—often more so.
Is this more expensive than standard painting?
Typically, yes—and for good reason. Specialty finishes require more time, materials, and expertise. That said, they deliver a higher-end, custom result that simply can’t be achieved with standard painting, making them a strong long-term value.
