We can help you select the right faux finish for your home from our portfolio of finishes. After you select a technique and color scheme you like, we will prepare a custom sample board for your review to make sure you like the results. Once you have made a final decision, we will apply the finish to your home.
Whether you have new cabinets that need painting or you want to spruce up your current kitchen, we can help! Choose from our gallery of high quality specialty finishes for your cabinets or create your own look.
We will work closely with you to prepare a custom sample of the finish you select to make certain we deliver your vision. If you prefer a natural wood finish, we can stain, apply a grain finish, or refinish your natural cabinets to the finish of your choice.

Why Choose Us?
Color Selection
The process begins with paint and color selection. Once you have selected your colors, we will take the necessary steps to ensure that the colors you choose look the way you expect them to when the job is finished. We always use quality paint usually from Benjamin Moore or California Paint unless you have a preference for another quality manufacturer. We will happily guides you through this selection process and have several online resources to assist in your selection, upon request.
Preperation
Investing in a quality paint job can mean the difference between painting every few years or a paint job that will last for many years. The major difference in a quality paint job is the proper preperation of surfaces ti be painted to ensure you get the longest lasting paint job possible. Donald R. Ross & Son has a series of Steps for quality preparation that we use for every paint job to ensure our work stands the test of time.
Painting
Once you have chosen the colors for your project, we will take the steps necessary to make certain that the colors you pick look the way you expect them to when the job is complete. If you are still undecided between colors, we will mix up some samples and paint a few areas of the room for you to view in different lighting at different times of the day before making a decision. Once you settle on a color that seems perfect, we will tint a primer to that color and paint the entire room to give you one more chance to make certain you made the right selection before we apply the finish paint.
FLAWLESS FINISH STARTS HERE
