What is Faux Finishing?

Faux is a French word meaning false or fake.  Faux Finishing is the art of giving your walls or furniture an illusion of texture or depth such as Marble, Stone, Clouds, etc.

How can I get a bid for some finishing work?

You can contact me via phone or email and I will make an appointment with you to show you my complete portfolio. I can give you some ideas for an appropriate finish or you can opt for a custom-tailored finish. I will then take a measurement of the square-footage and give you a fixed price for the work. Before I begin the project, I will build a sample of the work on a piece of drywall containing the same texture as your wall.

Why is Faux Finishing better than painting a solid color?

Faux Finishing has much more depth with most finishes and more color than regular painting which adds a unique beauty to your home.

Why is Faux Finishing better than wallpaper?

Wallpaper has a repeated pattern, where a Faux Finish has a varied pattern which really isn't a pattern at all. This is what adds to over-all beauty. Also, in the event you ever grow tired or want to change a Faux Finish you do not have to go through the hassle or the mess of having it removed like you would with wallpaper. On most finishes all you have to do is paint over it.

Most Painting contractors offer some kind of faux finishing, what sets your company apart from the others?

Most other painting contractors have done some sponge painting or rag rolling, and they consider that to be faux finishing, however it is not.  The main thing that sets my faux finishing apart from the others,  is professional training, and experience.  Although I can and will do sponge painting or rag rolling if my client request it.  I can offer a wide range of finishes that the other painting contractors can not.
