Here is how we help you elevate your home:

Fine Interior & Exterior Painting: We go beyond a standard coat of paint. Tom helps you select the perfect hues and finishes, meticulously preparing every surface, from sprawling ceilings to intricate custom trim, to ensure a flawless, lasting result.

Authentic Historic Restoration: Preserving the soul of an older home requires a delicate, highly skilled approach. Tom specializes in perfectly matching historic colors and carefully restoring vintage details. Fully EPA-certified in Lead Renovation (RRP), we ensure that updates to your pre-1978 home are handled with the utmost safety and care.

Authentic Venetian Plaster: Looking to create a truly unforgettable room? Tom expertly applies genuine Venetian Plaster, adding sophisticated depth, rich texture, and a beautiful polished dimension to your walls that standard paint simply cannot achieve.

Cabinet & Millwork Refinishing: You don’t always need to tear out a kitchen or library to completely transform it. We offer meticulous lacquer stripping, durable refinishing, and stunning high-gloss restoration to breathe new life into your cabinetry, built-ins, and fine millwork.

Custom Faux Finishes & Marble Effects: Add instant architectural elegance to your home. Tom is a master of traditional, hand-applied techniques, creating highly realistic wood grains (like rich mahogany or walnut) on doors, and elegant marble illusions for columns and fireplace surrounds.

Fine Wallcovering Installation: From chic, modern vinyls to delicate, hand-made residential wallpapers, Tom handles your chosen materials with precision to ensure a seamless, striking installation.

Eco-Friendly Options: Because the safety of your family is paramount, we proudly offer low-VOC and sustainable “green” material alternatives that are gentle on your home's indoor air quality without sacrificing a beautiful finish.

A Partnership Built on Quality

For decades, Tom has focused strictly on quality over quantity. He takes the time to prepare your space properly and do the work the right way, so the results don't just look stunning on day one, but truly endure. When you invite Granath Color Works into your home, you are choosing an artisan who cares deeply about your final outcome—and about making the entire journey a seamless, enjoyable experience.

Client Testimonial

“Tom and his team recently completed a large scale job to repaint the entire exterior of my home and the results could not be more beautiful. From the first meeting, Tom went above and beyond to revise his proposal to meet our exact needs and budget, and then exceeded our expectations. Simply put, I quickly learned that Tom has a penchant for doing things the right way... no short cuts, no compromising quality, and he will not rest until it's perfect. We had also set an ambitious deadline due to an outdoor party my family had planned for early Spring, and Tom worked tirelessly to ensure a 100% on-time finished product. I highly recommend Granath Color Works for your next painting project!”
