I have been painting houses for over 10 years, in many different capacities, mainly for friends and family. In response to the demand for more and more decorative finishes by my customers, I enrolled in a faux painting course at the Decorative Arts Center in St. Louis, Missouri in April of 2004. While there, I learned to perfect techniques that I had already been using, in addition to bolstering my portfolio with many new finishes.

I thoroughly enjoy the art of painting and take great pride that my work is on display daily in many houses in the Washington, DC area.

   
       
 

Why choose Finishes by Alan?

Unlike many other painters out there that claim to offer faux finishes, faux painting is the only service I provide! Other contractors offer services such as power washing, wallpapering, deck building or even gutter cleaning, I concentrate 100% on making beautiful faux finishes in your home or office. I do not use any brand of paint or faux finish product exclusively, which translates into a quicker turnaround time on jobs and more flexibility in terms of color choice for the customer.
