St. Louis Painter

Remodeling

You enjoy your home, but once in awhile you get that urge for a really new look for the rooms you use the most. It can be very helpful to work with a decorating contractor that does more than just paint, one with a decorator's eye that also brings additional skills to the job.

Kitchen cabinets or other woodwork can be updated by staining, glazing, distressing or by using other faux painting techniques for a French country, Tuscany or rustic look. You can also emulate very expensive woods like mahogany or pickled oak on standard cabinet woods. These techniques can be used to complement furniture, flooring and accessories to create a desired ambiance and signature style in your home.

But there's a lot more that you can do to update the surfaces of your home without going through a major tear-out and remodel. The idea is to give your home a noticeable facelift without going through the expense, mess and time required to gut rooms and start from scratch. A decorating contractor with experienced carpenters can provide custom touches to upgrade existing woodwork or add features like new wood trim, crown molding or new countertops to upgrade the finish in a room.
