Interior painting
Walls, ceilings and stairwells finished cleanly in occupied homes, with furniture protected and rooms returned each evening.
Historic & period homes
Painted the way
it should be
A small crew of finish painters restoring older homes room by room: millwork, cabinetry, plaster and specialty finishes done with the patience the house was built with.

What we do
Services for houses with history
Every scope starts with an inspection of the existing coatings, the substrate underneath, and how the house moves through the seasons.
Exterior painting
Scraped, primed and coated systems specified for clapboard, shingle and masonry on homes that have already stood a century.
Cabinet refinishing
Doors removed, tagged and sprayed off-site; boxes finished in place for a seamless, hard-wearing furniture-grade result.
Faux & specialty finishes
Venetian plaster, limewash, glazing and metallic leaf applied by hand where flat paint would flatten the room.
Trim & millwork detail
Crown, casing, wainscot and sash cut in by brush, with profiles kept crisp and joinery filled rather than buried.
Deck & fence staining
Cleaned, brightened and stained with penetrating finishes chosen for exposure, species and how the wood has weathered.
Wallpaper & plaster repair
Paper stripped without gouging, keys re-anchored, cracks bridged and skim coats floated flat before a drop of paint.
Craftsmanship
The paint is the easy part
Roughly seventy percent of our hours are spent before a finish coat is opened. Failing coatings are removed rather than painted over, bare wood is primed the same day it is sanded, and every seam is caulked with materials chosen for movement, not price. A premium paint over poor prep fails on the same schedule as a cheap one.

Finish techniques
The details that separate a paint job from a restoration
- 01
Hand-brushed millwork
Sash, casing and crown finished by brush so profiles keep their shadow lines instead of drowning in sprayed film.
- 02
Cabinet refinishing
Degreased, sanded, bonded and sprayed in a controlled setting for a factory-smooth door with a furniture feel.
- 03
Lime & venetian plaster
Layered mineral finishes troweled by hand, with depth that reads like stone and ages the right way.
- 04
Glazing & antiquing
Subtle glazes worked into carving and panel detail to bring back the age a previous repaint erased.
- 05
Plaster restoration
Keys re-secured, cracks bridged with mesh, skimmed flat. Repaired plaster, not drywall patched over history.

“They treated our 1912 foursquare like it mattered. Every sash was stripped by hand and the trim looks the way it must have on day one.”
