Services
Interior Painting
We apply Sherwin-Williams Pro Plaster Latex Primer and Pro Mar 200 Latex Paint for durable, vibrant interior finishes. Up to three color choices are included per project at no extra charge. Our process includes spackling, caulking, and sanding trim for a cabinet-grade spray finish, with crisp lines between wall and trim paint.
Exterior Painting
Our exterior services include pressure washing, deep cleaning, and painting/staining of all surfaces. We use premium materials and meticulous preparation to ensure long-lasting protection against weather elements. Entry doors receive marine-grade coatings for enhanced durability in outdoor conditions.
UV Finishing
Our 100% Solids UV finish line applies sealant and topcoat in seconds, curing instantly under ultraviolet light. This eliminates solvents and water evaporation, creating a smooth, even finish on wood surfaces. Ideal for large-scale projects requiring fast, consistent results.
Prefinishing
We pre-sand, stain, seal, and top-coat wood components at our facility using Pre-Catalyzed Lacquer Varnish. This allows precise control over finish quality before installation. Services include color matching, pore sealing, and hand sanding for a superior smooth finish on doors, windows, and trim.
Staining & Sealing
Hand or machine staining ensures uniform color application on wood surfaces. After staining, we apply sealants to protect the finish and enhance durability. This two-step process prevents moisture damage while maintaining the natural beauty of the wood grain.
