Our Process

A proven approach that keeps your project on track.

01

Design Consultation

We assess your surfaces, discuss finish options — from full repaints to Roman clay and Venetian plaster — and develop a color and materials plan.

02

Detailed Design & Selections

Finalize color palette, finish types, and application techniques. We provide samples and test patches in your actual lighting conditions.

03

Permits & Prep

We prep all surfaces meticulously — sanding, patching, priming, skim coating — and protect floors, fixtures, and furniture throughout the home.

04

Construction

Our 12-person crew applies each finish with precision, from standard repaints to hand-applied decorative techniques, with daily cleanup and progress updates.

What to Expect: Investment Ranges

We believe in transparency. Most competitors hide their pricing — we don't.

Interior painting for a full home typically ranges from $8,000–$25,000 depending on square footage and prep work. Specialty decorative finishes — Roman clay, Venetian plaster, lacquer — range from $15,000–$50,000+ depending on surface area and complexity. Cabinet refinishing ranges from $5,000–$15,000.
