Our Decorative Finishing Process
We treat every project like a long-term partnership. Expect honesty, precision, and clean job sites at every step.
1) Discovery and estimate
We review goals, traffic level, lighting, and maintenance needs. You receive a clear scope and written estimate.
2) Samples and finish study
Curated samples, and on-site mockups for larger projects, align color, sheen, and texture with your design.
3) Protection and substrate prep
We contain adjacent areas and prepare surfaces carefully to create a stable, smooth foundation. This is critical for high-end finishes.
4) Application
Thin, controlled layers with the right tools and timing. We burnish, glaze, or pattern as the system requires.
5) Sealing when appropriate
Breathable sealers or protective topcoats balance durability, cleanability, and the look you love.
6) Clean handover and care
Daily tidy-ups during the project. At completion we walk the space with you and share simple care guidance.
Timelines and investment vary by surface area, substrate, and finish. We outline everything up front.
