Specialty painters in San Luis Obispo

San Luis Obispo mixes historic adobes and Mission era architecture with a busy downtown of boutique hotels and tasting rooms. We finish both. In residences we work sympathetically with old plaster and lime, and in hospitality we deliver finishes that photograph well and wear hard through constant use. The brief in town is almost always the same. A surface that feels crafted, and that keeps feeling that way under traffic.

Historic homes and old plaster

SLO has a real stock of historic residences, and many carry original lime and plaster that should be respected, not buried. Where we can, we repair and re finish in kind so the wall keeps its age and breath. Lime wash and mineral finishes belong here, and they let an old house stay an old house.

For period kitchens and built ins we bring casework up to a furniture finish without erasing the character of the home around it.

Hospitality that wears

Boutique hotels and tasting rooms downtown need finishes that look considered in photographs and hold up to constant hands, luggage, and cleaning. We specify and finish for that reality, then keep a maintenance plan so the property looks finished on its busiest day, not just on opening day.
