Our specialty
Venetian Plaster & Decorative Finishes
Where most painting companies subcontract decorative work, plaster is one of our core specialties. Hand-applied Venetian plaster, limewash, Roman clay, Concretta microcement for showers, bathrooms, floors, and fireplaces, and custom murals — built in layers, burnished by hand, and finished to interact with San Diego’s coastal light.
Ideal for feature walls, fireplaces, entryways, powder rooms, restaurant interiors, and retail spaces.
