Having been in both the design industry and construction industry for years, I have rarely found something that held my attention. That was, until now. Brilliant Finish is not just a paint contracting business. we are a bespoke , high end, finish installer for clients seeking the best and most unique finishes for both the interior and exterior of their home or business. Using one of the most incredible paint finishes available today. our focus has been to provide a mirror like finish, in any color, for the entrance to your home 🏠 or office. We use Fine Paints of Europe exclusively, as to date they are the only paint offering warranty's for their paint products. we have now expanded to include interior wall finishes with this same mirror finish. Personally, I refer to this as a process and not just another paint job. we also do venetian plaster finishes for interior spaces. our designs are again, bespoke, no two designs are alike and these walls are more than just an accent wall. They are works of art on the walls. This process of creating a mirror finish for the entrance of your home or business, has really taken off. So if your curious or want more information please call and get a free consultation. Together we can figure out what works best for you and get you on our schedule.
