Why Choose Us
Client Success Stories
"Chas and Melanie did fantastic work repairing water and other damage to our faux painted plaster walls. They not only perfectly matched the exact color of our plaster, but reproduced the original finish so the damaged parts looked as good as new. They also made additional repairs that weren't part of our original estimate, at no cost, and wrote out the process and products they used so that we could attempt future repairs ourselves. Skilled, professional work! We highly recommend them."
Alex H. and Stephanie G., Homeowners
"The two worked tirelessly on the restoration of a Santa Fe treasure, the Lady of Guadalupe Statue. The transformation has been a blessing both to the parish and the many people that visit the Shrine. "
Diana L., Devote
Proud member of the Santa Fe Gallery Association
"I've been working with Melanie for over 25 years, and as a painter who also does sculpture, I know what a difference the patina can make in a piece.. In casting, the sculptor creates the form, but the patina is essentially left in the hands of the patina artist. I have always been pleased with the elegance Melanie brings to her skills in creating a patina."
