Characterized by extensive interior wood trim details, this new Atherton, California home built by Mark Kelley Construction required a skilled Professional Painting crew to meticulously finish a wide variety of wood applications including wood ceilings, wainscot, full height paneling, and painted cabinetry throughout.

This abundance of woodwork required countless hours of wood preparation (ie sanding and filling). Thoroughly preparing wood surfaces is the key to an exceptional painted finish.

Combining a Mediterranean inspired exterior with the clean lines and predominantly white aesthetic of a modern home, this Atherton, California home –built by Mark Kelley Construction – presented Professional Painting with the objective of painting in such a way that no one thinks about the paint. An emphasis on negative space in this home allows a focus on both natural light and the client’s accent pieces.

But despite the paint playing a supportive role in this home, a large number of elements – including wood ceilings, large cased opening, and extensive painted cabinetry – still required a thorough treatment. One especially unique painted feature of this home was the slightly reflective white painted hardwood floors that characterized some of the bedrooms. 

Built by MGM Construction exclusively through the use of sustainable and regenerative building materials and processes, Tah.Mah.Lah. - as it was named by its owners - has been nationally recognized as being the Greenest Home in America. 

Because a green construction process was of the utmost importance to the client, we exclusively used AFM's chemically responsible and non-polluting products including penetrating sealers and penetrating oils to finish the wood surfaces throughout the home.

The vast majority of Professional Painting’s work on this Craftsman style Los Altos house – built by Seddon Construction – consisted of staining the home’s extensive vertical grain fir (VGF) trim and cabinets.

Situated in Portola Valley, California, this country home – built by MGM Construction – is characterized by a large amount of wood trim and wood focal points, such as a reclaimed cedar truss ceiling in the home’s Great Room. 

For this project, Professional Painting painted and stained wood trim throughout the house, painted wood ceilings and beams, painted all cabinetry, and treated walls with the smoothest finish possible.

Built by Seddon Construction Company, this modern home is located in Atherton, California.

One of its most visually striking features is the structure's overhanging eaves. We finished the eaves by first applying Sikkens Cetol 1, a translucent exterior wood finish that penetrates deep into the wood to help protect it from the elements by repelling water and allowing moisture to escape. This was followed by two coats of Sikkens Cetol 23, a translucent topcoat that provides protection from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light.

Built by Mark Kelley Construction, this Woodside, California home features wood crown mouldings and baseboards, wood windows, and painted and stained cabinetry throughout.  Many of the home's rooms have painted wood ceilings and beams while the hallways and stairwells are accented by wainscoting. 

Located in Atherton, California, this 9,500 sqare foot English Manor was built by Seddon Construction Company.

Among the highlights of this home is the chapel style living room, featuring floor to ceiling stain grade Douglas Fir. Because Douglas Fir is a soft and somewhat porous material, Professional Painting first used a stain conditioner before applying a custom color pigment stain, followed by Chemcraft's precatalyzed lacquer system to finish the room.

Professional Painting collaborated with General Contractor SMC & Associates to finish the interior and exterior of a major remodel of this French Chateau in Los Altos Hills, California.
