Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and detailed millwork — primed properly and finished in two coats of quality paint.
Exterior painting
Washing, scraping, sanding, priming and caulking before a single coat goes on, so the finish holds up to Pennsylvania weather.
Wallpaper hanging & removal
Careful paperhanging, and clean removal that leaves walls ready to paint or paper again.
Surface prep & carpentry
Patching, crack repair and replacement of rotten wood, handled in-house instead of handed off.
Texture coating & faux finishes
Specialty finishes for rooms that call for more than a flat wall color.
Power washing
Exterior surfaces washed clean ahead of painting, or as a job on its own.
Detail work, mid-project.
A curved rotunda with a plaster ceiling medallion and crown molding — photographed during the job, with the chandelier still wrapped. Ornate plaster and millwork take patience: careful cutting-in, the right primer, and two even coats.
Every job runs the same four steps.
We handle everything from preparation to clean-up — and we never leave a mess or unfinished work behind.
