Decorative Finishes & Painting in Manhattan Beach

A standard 2,000–3,000 sq ft home typically takes 5–7 days for a full interior repaint including prep, priming, and two coats. Specialty finishes take longer — a Roman clay ceiling for one room might take 3–4 days alone.

Yes. We handle full exterior repaints including surface prep, primer, and finish coats. We use premium exterior-grade paints rated for Southern California's UV exposure.

Limewash is a thin mineral coating with a soft, cloudy patina. Roman clay is a smoother, modern clay-based finish with subtle movement. Venetian plaster is a polished, lime-based finish with a stone-like sheen. Microcement is a thin cementitious coating used on walls, floors, and wet areas — durable and seamless.

Yes. Surface prep — patching, sanding, priming, and sealing — is built into every painting and decorative finish scope. Specialty finishes require specific substrate prep that we account for upfront.

Yes. We color-match paint, stain, and decorative finishes to existing samples, and can blend transitions or refinish entire surfaces when matching is not feasible.

Many do. Microcement, tadelakt, and sealed Venetian plaster are appropriate for wet areas when correctly detailed. We confirm system suitability for each substrate and exposure during design.

Timelines depend on area and system. Single-room decorative finishes often install in 3 – 7 days including prep and cure; whole-home applications run multiple weeks and are sequenced with other trades.

Surface prep, substrate condition, the finish system, number of coats, sheen and color, ceiling and trim work, access (scaffolding or lifts), and total area drive pricing more than the finish name itself.
