Services/Craftsmanship

On each job, we bring forty years of experience and skill. We use old world craftsmanship that has been passed down from generation to generation.

INTERIOR PAINTING

Nothing improves the look and feel of your interior as quickly and affordably as a good paint job. We can help you choose colors that reflect your personality to create spaces that are calm, inviting, and create maximum impact on the interior of your home or business.

We work with you to plan a schedule to make your interior painting job as easy to live through as possible. We skillfully and carefully take you through the interior painting process.

We believe that in addition to being completely proficient in all aspects of the painting trade, excellent painting results come from the thoroughness of our preparation work, especially pre-paint masking of floors and covering furniture, cleaning walls, ceilings and trim, crack filling, sanding, patching, and caulking.

EXTERIOR PAINTING

Nothing enhances the curb appeal of your home or business like a new paint job. Proper preparation and painting of your exterior is the best way to increase your property’s value and maintain your investment. Nothing extends the useful life span of a property more than a good exterior paint job.

Selecting and using beautiful exterior colors allows you to express your personal style and fit in with your neighborhood. Choosing the right colors is the first order of business when planning to paint. It is best to choose colors that are in harmony with the architecture of your property and neighborhood. We can help you select the right colors.

Many factors need to be taken into account when planning your exterior painting. Do we brush or spray? What is the condition of the property? Is there wood rot? Is the paint peeling? Is the caulk failing? What finishes do you want for your paint? No sheen, some sheen, high sheen? What surfaces get what colors? There are many parts of a property that can be painted in various colors. Eaves, fascia, stucco, wood siding, doors, windows, trim around windows and doors, hand railings, balusters, rain gutters, downspouts, thresholds, and ornamental trim work, each can be painted in assorted colors or painted within a defined color scheme.

CABINETS, DOORS, WOODWORK

If your cabinets, doors, and woodwork look old or dingy after years of use, consider revitalizing them with paint. Painting is less expensive than refacing or refinishing them, and it also gives you the opportunity to choose a new color scheme. With paint, the opportunities are endless.

Another small painting project that revitalizes your home is painting exterior and interior doors. Door paint can chip away with repeated use, age, and climate conditions. Repainting your exterior and interior doors can help to increase your home’s curb appeal or match your interior doors to your decor as part of a larger project.

You can also make your home look more appealing by painting the interior and exterior trim. Repainting your molding, baseboards, wainscoting, windows, and doors can renew the beauty of those areas without costing you a fortune on replacement or repair.

WALLPAPER, WALLPAPER REMOVAL, WALLPAPER REPAIR

Martin Fine Finishes is highly skilled in repairing, installing and removing wallpaper and wallpaper adhesive. When we work on your wallpaper removal project, your walls are left completely clean and ready to be painted or re-wallpapered. We use only hot tap water to remove wallpaper and wallpaper adhesive. No chemicals are used during wallpaper removal.

We can determine unusual conditions and will notify you about what you can expect the walls to look like after wallpaper removal or repair. There is no way to avoid damage to drywall if wallpaper was applied to unprimed drywall. We can repair damaged drywall by priming and patching the walls. We can do all plaster repair, drywall repair, texturing, and skim coating. After wallpaper removal is complete, surfaces are scrubbed clean to ensure any residual adhesive is gone.

COLOR CONSULTATIONS

True color consulting is a time-honored and highly developed art. At Martin Fine Finishes, we have been helping customers pick the best colors for over 40 years. Putting color to use helps a property reach its full potential. Good color selection combines design, decorating, and painting knowledge. We are familiar with color palettes from all paint manufacturers.

Many factors go into selecting appropriate paint colors. They include room size, lighting, existing furniture or architectural elements, and your personal color preferences. A general rule is that color combinations that appear pleasing are made up of colors that are sympathetic, complimentary, or in harmony with each other. Colors that do not appear to be in harmony with each other are considered clashing colors.

Here are some things our color consultants consider when assisting clients:

What colors inspire you?
What are your color preferences?
What is the lighting and the effect it has at different times of the day?
Color inspiration can come from your pictures, furniture, clothes, or other personal items.
Houses and buildings in your neighborhood are a great place to start.
When you’re out or traveling, keep in mind your design plan and gather ideas for colors.
Collect swatches of fabric or take pictures of colors you like wherever you see them.

Tips when thinking of colors schemes:
Irregularly shaped rooms are better when painted monochromatically, to help conceal wavy lines at the ceiling and wall connections.
Respect the style and period of your property.
Consider using different colors on the woodwork, walls, and ceilings in more traditional, regularly shaped spaces.
Traditionally, deeper colors are applied to walls and lighter colors to ceilings and woodwork.
Often, less is more when it comes to color.
Check out your paint company’s stock paint color chart. These are the most popular and selected colors and a good place to start your color search. Stock paint colors are a safe bet and look good in most settings.
