Services
Venetian Plaster
Our Venetian plaster services use Italian lime-based materials to create smooth or textured finishes with depth and movement. Ideal for residential and commercial walls, this technique enhances aesthetics while maintaining durability. Clients benefit from customizable options that elevate interior spaces.
Church Restoration
Specializing in church murals and iconography restoration, we preserve historical integrity using traditional methods. Our team has revitalized sacred spaces like the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, combining artistic skill with cultural sensitivity to honor each project's significance.
Tadelakt Shower Plaster
Tadelakt shower plaster provides seamless, waterproof surfaces with a luxurious aesthetic. This Moroccan lime plaster technique resists mold and moisture, offering both functional durability and elegant design for bathrooms and wet areas in homes and businesses.
Gold Leafing
Real 23K gold leafing adds opulent detail to architectural elements and artwork. We apply this technique to columns, frames, and decorative features, creating striking visual effects that enhance the sophistication of any space.
Faux Finishes
Custom faux finishes mimic materials like marble, wood, and stone with artistic precision. These versatile treatments suit both modern and traditional interiors, offering unique, cost-effective alternatives to natural materials for walls and surfaces.
