Fireplace, Mantel and Built-In Painting

Built-ins and mantels are the focal points of a room. We prep carefully, choose heat-appropriate coatings near a hearth and finish with smooth, durable paint that makes the shelves look custom.

Questions

About fireplace, mantel and built-in painting

Can you paint brick inside a fireplace?

We paint the surround and exterior brick, but the firebox itself should stay as it is. We explain what is safe to coat.

What color works on built-ins?

Deep navy, green and charcoal are popular for drama, and soft whites feel classic. We test samples first.
