Interior Painting in Oahu & Chicago.

Most of a good paint job happens before the paint: patching, sanding, caulking and priming. As a plasterer, the wall repairs are done properly first — then finished with Sherwin-Williams products only.

Before & after · Plaster water-damage repair

Behind the main house, the coach house.

Historic coach house · Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie home · Oak Park, Illinois

On the same property, water had damaged the plaster above a doorway in the coach house. We filled the damaged area with plaster, built it back with a lightweight gypsum base coat and finished it in lime, so the wall and ceiling read as one smooth surface again. The owners then had us paint the coach-house foyer a bright, welcoming orange.

Residential interior

This homeowner wanted the plain gray doors and trim gone. We painted the doors, frames and baseboards a rich red that warms the whole home — and the same customer asked us to refinish a black nightstand in a coordinating red.
