1. Modern Faux Studio Inc.
Based in Palatine, IL, Modern Faux Studio Inc. works as a faux finish painter. It has been in business for 28 years. Faux finishing uses layered paint, glazes, and plasters to create the look of stone, wood, metal, fabric, or aged surfaces. After careful base coat prep, the artisan applies and manipulates layers with trowels, brushes, rags, or sponges to build depth and texture. On their profile, Modern Faux Studio Inc. lists faux finishing type: marbleizing, color washing, fresco, dry brushing and venetian plaster; property type: residential and commercial; surfaces to be painted: walls, trim, ceiling, doors and window frames; ceiling height: under 8 feet, 8 - 10 feet, 10 - 14 feet and over 14 feet. Modern Faux Studio Inc. is also listed for interior painting. Plain rooms that need character, dated sponge finishes from earlier decades, and remodels aiming for an old-world look often lead to faux finish work. Mention whether surfaces are drywall, plaster, wood, or cabinetry, and whether existing wallpaper, glossy paint, or heavy texture must be removed first. Premium materials like Venetian plaster, detailed stencils or murals, high ceilings, and multiple sample boards add labor and material cost to a faux project. Besides Palatine, homeowners in Rolling Meadows, Arlington Heights and Hoffman Estates can reach out for faux finish painting. Accepted payment methods include Venmo and Zelle.
