Our Work
Real projects across the Gulf Coast
Every photo below is our own work in a Sarasota or Manatee County home — no stock, no renderings. Click any image to see the finish up close.
Signature finish
Four coats, sanded flat between every one
High gloss is the least forgiving finish in the trade. Every ripple in the wall, every brush mark, every speck of dust in the air comes back at you the moment light hits it — which is why most crews will quietly talk a client out of it. This room took four coats of premium enamel with a sanding pass between each, sprayed down to the kind of surface you normally only meet on a car. Look at the ceiling: those are the windows, reflected.

High-gloss room, wall to ceiling
Walkthrough of a room finished throughout in high-gloss green enamel — walls, ceiling, window returns and door — with the light coming back off every surface.
-
Four coats, not two
Each one sanded back before the next went on. The depth in a gloss finish comes from the coats nobody ever sees.
-
Sprayed, never rolled
A roller leaves stipple and a brush leaves marks. At this gloss level either one would read straight across the wall.
-
Gloss magnifies whatever is under it
The shine does not hide a flat surface — it reports on it. Most of the hours here went into the wall long before any colour did.
-
Papered, masked, handed back clean
Floors covered and every edge taped before the first coat. You can see it in the frames, and it is why there is nothing to clean up afterwards.
Project in three stages
A spiral staircase, tread by tread
Curved treads have to be finished in place, one at a time, working downward so nothing is walked on before it cures. These three frames come from the same staircase in a Gulf-front home — and the middle one catches the job exactly halfway.
-
Stage 01
Bare oak
Treads set and sanded, still raw. Nothing is committed until the first tread proves the colour against the white stringer.
-
Stage 02
Halfway, in one frame
Upper treads still bare oak, lower treads already carrying the finish, the can sitting where the work stopped. This single photograph is the before and the after at once.
-
Stage 03
Even, top to bottom
Two hours later the run reads as one piece — consistent depth through every wedge, against hand-finished white balusters.
4 projects
Cabinets & Built-Ins
Doors and drawers removed, degreased, primed and sprayed — so the finish reads as furniture, not as paint.
8 projects
Interiors & Ceilings
Walls, vaulted ceilings and tray detail across coastal homes from Longboat Key to Lakewood Ranch.
7 projects
Trim, Doors & Staircases
The details most people cannot name but always notice: crisp lines, sprayed doors, hand-finished balusters.
2 projects
Accent & Feature Walls
Shiplap, board-and-batten and panelling installed and finished as architecture, not decoration.
2 projects
Exteriors & Entryways
Finishes prepped and coated for Florida sun, salt and humidity.
6 projects
Decks, Porches & Fencing
Outdoor wood cleaned, repaired and stained — the work that decides whether a deck or gate gets replaced or saved.
Walkthroughs
See it move, not just posed
A still photograph flatters a finish. These are unedited walk-throughs shot on the job — every clip is silent, and nothing loads until you press play.
Finished work
Rooms as the homeowner received them — walked slowly so you can judge the edges, the reveals and the sheen.

-
Exterior siding and louvre detail
Lap siding and a louvred skirt vent coated in the same tone, the slats cut in by hand so the shadow lines stay crisp.
