Project Description
This custom interior painting project in Oakland, CA, focused on a newly constructed 3,900 sq ft home in Upper Rockridge. The scope included full interior painting, detailed stain work, and specialty metallic finishes across multiple living spaces, including a media room and basement wet bar.
Benjamin Moore Regal Select was used for walls and ceilings to create a smooth, consistent base throughout the home. Select areas were finished with Modern Masters metallic paint to add depth and contrast, while Old Masters stain and varnish products were applied to wood elements to maintain a natural, rich appearance.
The interior painting project was completed over six weeks, allowing time for proper prep, specialty finishes, and detailed application across all surfaces.
Background / Story:
This project took a different path than most new construction homes. The homeowner stepped in to take over the project after parting ways with the original General Contractor. That meant managing timelines, coordinating trades, and making final design decisions along the way.
When we were brought in, the focus was on bringing consistency and control back into the process. With multiple materials and finish types throughout the home, it was important to create a plan that tied everything together without rushing the work.
The homeowner had a clear vision for a modern but warm interior. That included using metallic finishes in select areas, while keeping other spaces more grounded with clean paint lines and natural wood tones. By working closely with the homeowner throughout the process, we were able to execute each phase with clarity and keep the project moving forward without unnecessary delays.
