Why We Stopped Taking On Large Painting Projects (And What We Do Instead)

Every now and then we get asked:

“Hey, do you still do full house painting?”

The short answer? Not anymore.And here’s why that’s a really good thing — for you and for us.


We’re Wainscoting Specialists, Not Painters


Let’s be real — there are great paint specialists out there. But when it comes to wainscoting? That’s our zone. That’s what we live and breathe.


We know how to design, cut, fit, and install custom wall paneling that adds true architectural character to your space. It’s a different craft, and it deserves full attention.


Trying to be “okay” at everything just doesn’t cut it for us. We’d rather be exceptional at one thing — and we’ve chosen wainscoting.


Small Team, Big Focus


We’re a tight-knit team, not a faceless crew of contractors. Taking on large-scale painting jobs would mean growing fast, buying a ton of specialised gear, and frankly — raising our prices.


That’s not where we want to go.


We’d rather keep things personal, hands-on, and focused on what we do best — creating beautiful custom wall paneling and architectural features that elevate your home.


We’ve Partnered with a Painting Pro


Now, just because we’ve stepped back from big painting projects doesn’t mean you’re on your own. In fact, we’ve partnered with a phenomenal painter who understands wainscoting inside and out.


They know:

  • How to prep and finish trim so it sings, not sinks

  • Which finishes highlight detail without drowning it

  • How to paint around paneling with precision (no goopy corners here)


It’s a smooth handover — and it means you get the best of both worlds: our wainscoting craftsmanship, and their paint perfection.


So, What Do We Paint?

We still take care of the small projects that would cost a fortune because good painters are in high demand:

  • Filling and finishing nail holes

  • Filling and smoothing edges

  • Getting everything ready for that flawless topcoat


But the final finish? We leave that in expert hands.


Final Word


This decision wasn’t about doing less — it was about doing better. We’re not here to be a jack-of-all-trades. We’re here to be masters of one: wainscoting that makes your walls unforgettable.


So if you’re after someone to transform your home with stunning paneling — and connect you with the right painter to make it shine — we’re your team.


Let’s focus on what we’re great at. Your walls will thank you.
