Faux
Finishes
Faux Finishes include a number of different painting techniques. Faux finish painting replicates natural architectural materials such as fine wood or stone and include mural and tromp l'oeil painting that fools the eye with accurate replication of fixed architectural structure or scenic murals that are indeed painted on a flat surface but have depth and perspective. Stan’s Painting and Decorating. performs graining, marbling and other stone finishes as well as stenciling work. Some of the places that are typical applications of our work include furniture, interior architectural trim surfaces, and panels. We do a lot of graining work where exotic wood species have been used for wood paneling but doors, windows and trim are not typically available in the same exotic woods. We match the paneling and then grain the doors and windows and trim to match the exotic woods. Marbling and other stone finishes of surfaces provides the owner with the look of and feel of stone where budgets are a concern or where the use of actual stone is impractical. Why not turn that ordinary painted crown molding and trim package into something very special? Glazes
and Other Treatments
Decorative Glazes are typically one or more colors of translucent paints applied over solid color base coats. The glaze is manipulated to achieve varying textures. The degree of translucency and sheen can also effect the final look. The glaze is either applied and finished in a positive or negative fashion. A positive glaze is added to the base coat while being manipulated by any number of tools such as sponges, special rollers, chamois, rag, cheesecloth, or brushes. A negative glaze is accomplished when glaze is applied to the base coat and then manipulated off of the surface while being manipulated by any of the same tools used for positive finish. Either type of glaze application can provide a one of a kind look that can range from very dramatic to a subtle look that adds more depth than just a plain painted surface. We also use decorative glaze techniques on furniture and interior architectural trim. When that special look is needed - anything from an aged look, an exotic look our futuristic look is possible. Application of different types of texture can add to the design effect you need. Trowel applied finishes that provide that Southwest look or special textures finished with simple glazes provide you with an endless range of looks to finish any type of residential or commercial project. Color?
Color - It is the one topic that is genuinely puzzling for most people. Is this the right color? Does this color work with that one? Does this color look lighter or darker once it's on the wall? We work with color every day. Color theory and selection is something we can assist you with and provide for your project. You can use a computer to match this color can't you? A questions we get asked a lot is about the computer color matching that is now available. What's the story on computer color matching. We asked a few of the people we work with to comment on computer color matching The machines are a good start and do save us time in matching colors. They do not match colors as close as the human eye can. If you combine the education that is necessary to match colors along with a good 'color eye', you can accomplish very close if not perfect color matches. The machines can get you close and they do save us time, but they can't replace us, yet" Commercial

Residential
Our Quality is our Strength The reason we can continually provide high quality work is the type of people we employee and are blessed with. Our employees work full time, year round. We don't hire more people during busy periods and then lay them off during the winter. This limits the amount of business we can contract but provides for consistent high quality and a better working environment for our employees Interior & Exterior Repaint Work We work in and on some of the finest homes in the metro area and our clients are the type that want the work done right - that's why they hire us. Last year eighty percent of our business was from repeat and referral customers.Every type of work has certain systems. Once contracted, our interior repaint work starts with a pre-project meeting with you, our client. This meeting allows us to discuss and plan the direction of the work through your home, what day we will be in what area, how and where we will move furniture, what items you need to move, how best we can protect your property and establishes guidelines to make our presence in your home as easy as possible for you. The pre-project meeting also establishes what paint colors are to be used. New and Remodel Residential Painting We work for some of the premier custom builders, remodeling contractors and design professionals in the Indiana. These builders require a better quality finished product for their clients on an ongoing basis, that's why they contract with us. They depend on our higher quality finish work and our ability to complete the project on schedule. We build relationships with builders. The
Paperwork
PROPOSAL Every one of our projects starts with a proposal to the prospective customer. Take a look at some of the items that make up a good contract - one that protects the customer The proposal is used to establish what work is to be contracted and performed, and at what price. A proposal from Stan’s Painting and Decorating provides you with information on how we intend on protecting your property, how we will prepare surfaces to be work on, how we will apply paint or complete decorative work and what kinds of material we will be using. Our proposals also call out the type of clean up work that will be provided once our work is completed. Our proposals contain project specific information and other information regarding safety considerations. Typically a copy of our current insurance certificate is included with the proposal. Once you accept our proposal we work with you to schedule your project. Establishing and meeting both start and finish dates is one of our project success gauges. Prior to starting your project, we meet with you in a 'pre-project' meeting to make sure any concerns you may have are addressed and to assure we have planned your project work properly. Security issues are addressed and the path of the project (what gets done when and what direction we move through your property) is agreed upon. The
Change Order
What happens if there are changes to the scope of work you have contracted for? We use a Change Order form when changes either subtract or add work to the project. A change order calls out what work will be changed and if there are changes in pricing. Are there changes to what we originally contracted to do? We utilize a written change order to address any changes - be they additions or deductions of work. A change order provides you with peace of mind. Rather than settling on items at a later date after the project is complete, a change order provides up front information with which to base decisions on. Use of a change order promotes trust and keeps the word surprised out of your vocabulary. A Change Order from Stan’s Painting and Decorating provides a line item by line item description of any additional work or any work that will not be performed and the associated price addition or deduction for labor and material. Our form also provides you with the current contract amount and the revised total amount. It provides a project management tool for you. Insurance
Here's our insurance certificate - something we supply with all of our proposals. Make sure to receive one from all of the companies bidding on your project. This is an important part of the paperwork for you as a homeowner, building owner or business owner. When you sign a contract make sure the your contractor has the proper insurance in place We carry full insurance including Workers Compensation Insurance, and Commercial Auto Insurance, and $1,000,000 of General Liability Insurance. Insurance protects you from liability should an accident occur or a worker be injured on your property or project. We typically provide a copy of our insurance certificate with residential proposals and for commercial bids with companies that don't already have a copy
