# Decorative Finishes and Custom Paint Designs | Sharp's Painting

Decorative finishes and custom paint designs are painted treatments that use more than one color or sheen in a room, and Robert Sharp of Sharp's Painting does this work in Huntington Beach and coastal Orange County. It covers two tone rooms, color blocked walls, banded and striped layouts, geometric shapes, and ceilings painted to pair with the walls instead of plain white. A design only reads right when the breaks are straight and the edges are sharp. Done badly, paint bleeds under the tape, lines wander, and the pattern looks crooked from across the room. Humidity on the coast slows the cure between coats, so timing matters when the tape comes off. Robert has 27 years of hands on painting, holds California C-33 license 1048840, is bonded and insured, and runs his own crew with no subcontractors, on site for the detail work. Free estimates, up to 10 free paint samples, and no payment until the job is done and you are satisfied.

## Why choose us
- Owner Robert does the detail work himself, so accent walls and clean color lines come out sharp instead of rushed
- Prep comes first, so a smooth coat or accent finish holds up against salt air and strong coastal sun
- Nothing gets painted until you have seen the plan, from the color breaks to where each finish stops and starts
- You pay nothing until the custom work is done and you like how it looks

## How it works
1. **Walk through and free estimate**: Robert comes out, looks at the space, and talks through the custom look you want, whether that is an accent wall, a two tone room, or smoothing out heavy stucco texture. Call to set it up and the estimate is free.
2. **Plan the finish and colors**: Together you settle the exact colors, where each one starts and stops, and which surfaces get the specialty treatment. Nothing goes on the wall until the layout is clear to both of you.
3. **Prep the surfaces**: Before any decorative coat, Robert scrapes, sands, patches, caulks, and primes so the finish lays flat and lasts. For a texture change he knocks down the old Spanish style stucco first.
4. **Apply the finish and clean up**: Robert and his own crew lay the custom coats, keep the lines crisp between colors, and clean up at the end of each day. You get a schedule update in the morning and again at day's end, and you pay once it is done.

## FAQ
### What kind of decorative finishes do you actually do?
Robert handles accent walls, two tone rooms, crisp color breaks with clean lines, cabinet refinishing, and converting heavy Spanish style stucco texture to a smooth flat coat. If you have a specific custom look in mind, bring it up at the estimate and he will tell you straight whether it is something he does.

### Will a smooth or accent finish hold up in the coastal weather here?
It holds up when the prep is done right. Salt air, strong sun, and the marine layer are hard on paint in Huntington Beach and the rest of coastal Orange County, so Robert pressure washes, scrapes, sands, patches, and primes before the finish goes on. That prep is what makes the look last.

### Do you use subcontractors for the detail work?
No. Robert runs his own crew and is on site for every job, including the fine detail work like clean lines and accent finishes. You are dealing with the owner the whole way through, not a rotating cast of subs.

### When do I pay for the custom work?
You pay nothing until the job is finished and you are happy with it. That is a standing policy on every job, custom finishes included. Estimates are free, we answer the phone, and the business is licensed C-33, bonded and insured.

### Can I see the decorative finish on my own wall before you do the whole room?
Yes. Sharp's Painting includes up to 10 free paint samples, and Robert Sharp puts them on your own wall so you can see the decorative colors in your own light before the room gets done. On a custom finish the colors sit right next to each other, and coastal Orange County light shifts through the day, so a shade that looked right in the store can read wrong in a Huntington Beach room. The estimate is free.
