What Ventura County Homeowners Say About Our Wood Staining & Decorative Finishing Services
Abad Gomez — Founder of Asis Painting & Artists at Work
“To me, it’s not just about finishing walls. It’s about building a legacy through excellence, leadership, and pride in our work.”

But he saw a gap in the industry — a need for a higher standard, a more professional experience, and a brand built on legacy, not shortcuts.
So he built Asis Painting with one mission: to raise the bar.

Decorative Finishes: Artistry Meets Technique
Decorative finishes add texture, depth, and visual interest that standard paint cannot achieve. These specialty techniques require artistic skill and technical expertise to execute properly.
Venetian Plaster creates luxurious, marble-like surfaces with subtle depth and luminosity, applied in multiple thin layers and burnished by hand.
Limewash produces matte, textured finishes with organic variation, popular in modern farmhouse and Mediterranean homes.
Color Washing and Glazing layer translucent color over base coats to create depth and movement, from subtle variations to dramatic jewel-toned surfaces.
Faux Finishes replicate natural materials like marble, granite, wood grain, and stone at a fraction of the cost.
Metallic Finishes in gold, silver, bronze, and copper add glamour through specialty paints and leaf applications.
Distressed and Aged Finishes create authentic character for furniture and cabinetry in rustic or vintage-inspired spaces.
Specialty Textures range from subtle linen effects to dramatic raised patterns using specialized tools.
Stenciling and Hand-Painted Details add personalized geometric or botanical designs to walls, ceilings, and furniture with precision and artistry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Asis Painting is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. We carry both liability and workers’ compensation coverage to protect our clients and team.
How soon can you start my project?
Start dates vary based on our current schedule and the scope of your project. We aim to be transparent with timelines and will always provide a clear start date during the proposal process.
How do estimates work?
We offer free, detailed on-site consultations. After our walkthrough, we’ll provide a customized proposal outlining the scope, pricing, materials, and schedule – no hidden fees, no surprises.
How often does exterior wood need restaining?
Horizontal surfaces (decks, railings) need restaining every 2-3 years. Vertical surfaces (siding, fences) last 3-5 years. Quality stains, proper preparation, and ideal weather conditions extend longevity. We can set up maintenance schedules to keep wood protected.
How long does stain take to dry?
Stain dries to touch in 4-8 hours typically, but shouldn’t be topcoated for 12-24 hours. Full cure takes several days. Exterior stains need 48 hours of dry weather. We schedule projects accounting for proper drying time.
Are decorative finishes difficult to maintain?
Most decorative finishes are sealed and clean like regular painted walls – dust normally and wipe gently with damp cloth. Textured finishes collect more dust than smooth surfaces. Venetian plaster can be gently wiped: limewash needs careful cleaning to avoid removing finish.
What kind of prep do you do before painting?
We take prep seriously – from surface cleaning, patching, and sanding to full protection of floors, furniture, and fixtures. Prep is what ensures a lasting, high-quality finish.
How long will the job take?
Timelines depend on the size and complexity of the project. We provide a realistic timeline in your proposal and stick to it, with updates throughout the job.
Can you stain wood that's been painted?
Sometimes. If paint is well-adhered and you want a solid color “stain look,” we can apply gel stain over paint. For transparent stain showing wood grain, we must strip paint completely—a time-intensive process. We assess your specific situation and recommend the best approach.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes. We stand behind our work and offer workmanship warranties on most projects. We’ll review the warranty details with you before the job starts.
How do I choose the right stain color?
Consider your wood species (some woods naturally turn orange or yellow), existing finishes in your home, the amount of natural light the space receives, and your overall design style. We provide expert recommendations and always test before full application.
Can decorative finishes work in modern homes?
Absolutely. Limewash, metallic accents, subtle color washing, and concrete-inspired finishes suit contemporary design perfectly. Decorative finishing isn’t just traditional or ornate – modern applications create stunning, sophisticated spaces.
