Overpainting

If you’ve just finished a painting project and there is overpainting (drips, brush marks, spatters, spray), we can make that go away, regardless of the afflicted surface—even minor carpet damage.

Touch-ups
Are there wobbly edges, rough caulk lines, holidays (gaps), or other imperfections in your new paint? We can sort them out.
Wallpaper
Using painting techniques, we can conceal stains, smudges, tears, and other wallpaper blemishes. We can mitigate mismatched seams and fill in small holes. We can bridge gaps in the pattern around electrical plates, trim, ceilings, and so on.

Woodwork Aftercare
We can conceal nail & brad holes, nicks, dents, poorly-matched joints, uneven wood grain or color, finishing errors (such as blotchy staining), knotholes, and so on.
Wood Species Transformation
We can turn pine into mahogany and vice-versa using faux bois painting techniques. Any wood species can be reproduced, including fantasy grains, petrified wood, lightning-struck wood, and so on.
Wood Finish Alterations
Faux Bois painting techniques allow for full recoloring of any woodwork without the need to strip the extant finish. No poisonous strippers and far less sanding is required. Sometimes this work is done with transparent glazes, retaining the original grain, and sometimes with opaque materials that reproduce it. Gloss, satin, and matte effects are available.
Special Wood Finishes
If you require a shou sugi ban (charred cedar) finish but don’t want blowtorches in your living room, we can simulate that effect. Pickled, smoked, fumed, stained, aged, weathered, and distressed finishes are all possible to achieve.

Plaster
Any plaster finish can be created. Examples include rough textures and trowel finishes, distressed and antiqued types, and simulated art plasters such as Venetian and tadelakt (Moroccan marble plaster). We can also produce genuine Venetian and tadelakt finishes.
Lime plaster effects are a specialty—the popular ‘rag’ and ‘sponged’ techniques attempt to simulate this material. Our system is far more authentic in appearance and even touch. We also do authentic lime plasterwork.
Simulated fresco (pigmented plaster, as in  the Sistine Chapel) can be created for your application.
Brick
Change used brick into new brick, new brick into used, or switch it from London stock brick to red clay. Anything is possible. We can even change the bond (pattern) of the bricks in many cases.
Mortar colors can be changed or matched.
Brick colors can be brightened, muted, or changed entirely.
New brickwork can be matched to old.
Stone
As with brick, one kind of stone can be made into another. If you have installed boulders in your landscape and they’re covered in scratches and scuffs, we can make the damage invisible.
Or perhaps you have several types of stone and you want them to match?
We can also join stones together seamlessly to create the effect of much larger boulders, or build artificial boulders instead.
Moss, lichen, age and weathering effects can be applied to any stone.
Plain marble can be made into exotic species. Simulated stones can be created ranging from common marble and granite to exotics like fossil slabs and agates. Refinish countertops and backsplashes right on the existing surfaces.

Museum-Grade Finishes
If your property or artifact is of historical significance, we can create most finishes using archival, non-destructive methods and materials. These are the same ones used by conservationists to restore priceless works of art and architecture.

In this manner, the ravages of time can be turned back without permanent alteration to the original fabric of the piece. Improved aesthetics should not rob the artifact of its un-retouched value.

We do not offer restoration services, which is a different discipline. Instead, we can safely conceal the damage until such time as restoration is undertaken. We can also adjust the appearance of completed restoration work.
