What faux & decorative finishes covers

Decorative finishes are a different craft from painting. Roman Clay and Venetian plaster are troweled in layers and burnished; lime wash lives or dies on how it's laid off; a mural is drawing, not coating.

These are specialist applications, and carrying them inside our own scope means a single point of accountability when a feature wall is the centerpiece of the room.

  • Sample-first process so you see it before it's a wall
  • Coordinated with the rest of your paint scope

A different craft from painting

Roman Clay, Venetian plaster and lime wash are mineral finishes rather than coatings. They are troweled on in layers, worked while they are open, and burnished or laid off by hand, so the result carries the movement of the application itself.

Because they vary so much with light and substrate, we board a sample and put it in the actual room before committing a wall. What reads warm in a showroom can read gray on a north-facing elevation.

You probably need this if

  • A feature wall that needs to carry a whole room
  • A flat painted surface where you wanted depth and movement
  • A designer specification calling for plaster or lime wash
  • A space where the finish is the point, not the background

How a job runs from here

  1. Free Estimate

    We walk the property with you and put a detailed written scope in your hands. No verbal ballpark, no surprises later.

  2. Color Consultation

    Our in-house consultants bring real samples to your space, so you're not choosing off a chip under hardware-store fluorescents.

  3. Prep & Priming

    Furniture and floors protected, drywall patched, caulk and rot repaired, primer applied. This is where the finish is decided.

  4. Painting

    The finish goes on sprayed, rolled or brushed, to whatever the surface actually calls for rather than to whatever is quickest.

  5. Final Walkthrough

    We walk every room with you before we pull the drop cloths. You approve it, we clean up, you get your space back.

Faux & Decorative Finishes across the Omaha metro

We cover the greater Omaha metro and Southwest Iowa. These are the communities we name because we actually work in them, rather than listing a radius and hoping. If your neighborhood sits just outside the list, ask anyway.

Frequently asked questions

  • Yes. Decorative finishes vary too much by light and substrate to commit without a sample you've actually seen in the room.
