ARCHITECTURAL FINISHES

 

FRENCH POLISHING

Using some of the oldest finishing techniques in the trade, we apply our skill and experience to finish all of your interior woodwork as if it were a fine piece of furniture.

Our Specialty is a distressed and antiqued finish which brings all the intrigue, age and patina to a newly constructed room.

HAND APPLIED WAXES

To provide our clients with a wide range of finishing choices, we offer waxed finishes in various colors. Using our European waxes we are able to transform, for example, a new Cypress tongue in groove ceiling into a look of an aged wood ceiling.
