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.
