Doug Morris, of Beautiful Walls by Doug Morris, and Shelby Lippincott, of Shelby Lippincott Decorative Paint, are now jointly offering a specialist service in Venetian plaster repair and faux finish repair.
Although Venetian plaster and faux finishes fluctuate in popularity, many homeowners have invested quite a bit in adding these finishes to their homes. However, when they need to make changes to their homes - whether because of structural or water damage, remodeling, utility upgrades, such as new lighting, power outlets or speakers, or everyday wear and tear - they often face the prospect of having to paint over the finishes and losing that investment because they can't find someone to repair them.
Doug and Shelby, with over fifty years' experience between them in design, mural painting, faux finishing and painted decoration, are now pooling their expertise to provide a comprehensive resource for Venetian plaster repair and faux finish repair to homeowners throughout the Phoenix Metro area. While they have both individually provided the service to several customers over the years, they believe that by working together they can more efficiently service a wider catchment area and supplement each others' skills to deliver an improved service. As Shelby points out: It's often not cost effective for larger decorative painting and Venetian plaster companies to have their employees tied up on repairs that can be time-consuming and require different skills than original finishes.
And Doug adds: Many decorative painters don't or won't repair Venetian plaster or faux finishes, even when they are responsible for the original finish. Also, after the downturn in the economy, many of them have left the area or the business. So finding artists who are not only capable but willing can be a challenge. Hopefully, by making our joint services available to more people, we'll make it easier for homeowners to solve this particular problem.
