Not every painting project fits neatly into interior or exterior. Accent walls, textured finishes, faux techniques and decorative work all require a different skill set, one that goes beyond rolling a standard color onto a flat surface.
Mike Ross has been handling specialty painting projects across Auburn, Roseville, Rocklin and Grass Valley since 2006. Whether it is a bold accent wall in a bedroom, texture work on a living room feature wall or a custom decorative finish, Mike brings the same attention to detail to specialty work that he brings to every project.

Specialty painting costs vary widely depending on the type of work, the size of the area and the complexity of the technique. Accent walls typically start around $200 to $400. Texture work, faux finishes and decorative painting are priced based on the scope of the project. Mike provides free written estimates so you know exactly what the job will cost before any work begins.
An accent wall is a single wall painted a different color or finished differently from the other walls in a room. It adds visual interest and depth without overwhelming the space. The best accent wall is usually the one you naturally look at when you enter the room, often the wall behind a bed, sofa or fireplace. Mike can walk you through placement options during the estimate.
Yes. If your walls have existing texture that has been damaged, patched or applied inconsistently, Mike can match and blend it so the surface looks uniform before painting. Orange peel, skip trowel and knockdown are the most common textures in Auburn area homes and Mike works with all of them.
A faux finish mimics the look of another material like stone, concrete, linen or aged plaster using paint and specialized application techniques. Regular paint is applied uniformly. Faux finishes involve layering, glazing or texturing to create depth and visual complexity that flat paint cannot replicate.
Yes. Mike is happy to walk through your space during the estimate and discuss color options, accent wall placement and finish ideas. He has seen enough Auburn and foothills homes to know what works in different light conditions and room sizes and can help you make a confident decision before any work starts.

It depends on the scope of the project. A single accent wall can often be done in a day. More complex texture work, faux finishes or multi-wall decorative projects take longer. Mike gives you a realistic timeline during the estimate so you know what to expect.
Yes. Geometric patterns, color blocking and two-tone wall designs require careful planning and precise taping. Mike maps out the design, marks reference points and tapes accurately so lines are sharp and the finished result looks exactly as intended.
Yes. Touch-up and repair painting is one of the more common specialty requests Mike handles. Whether it is a chip, a scuff, faded paint or uneven areas from previous work, Mike matches the existing color and finish as closely as possible so the repair disappears into the surrounding surface.
