It depends on the condition of the existing surface and the type of decorative finish. Most textured finishes can be applied over properly prepared existing paint. However, wallpaper should typically be removed as the moisture from plasters and heavy textures can cause adhesion issues. During our consultation, we assess your existing surfaces and recommend the best preparation method for optimal results.

Project timelines vary based on the technique, room size, and complexity. Simple techniques like color washing might take 2-3 days for an average room, while multi-layer finishes like Venetian plaster can take 5-7 days due to drying time between layers. We provide detailed timelines during our consultation and always work efficiently to minimize disruption to your space.

Yes, with proper preparation and sealing. We use moisture-resistant primers and special sealants designed for high-humidity environments. Techniques like Venetian plaster and microcement are particularly well-suited for bathrooms as they create non-porous, waterproof surfaces when properly sealed. We'll recommend the best finishes for your specific moisture conditions.

Most decorative finishes can be professionally repaired, though the ease depends on the technique. Textured finishes are generally easier to patch and blend than precise faux finishes. We keep detailed records of materials and techniques used on your project, making future repairs more seamless. For minor damage, we can often create an invisible repair; for larger areas, we might need to redo an entire wall section for consistency.
