Construction & Craftsmanship

Venetian Plaster, Stone & Custom Wood Finishes

The finishes are what make a space unforgettable. Our team's specialty craftsmanship includes Venetian plaster, granite, marble, cast glass, and custom wood finishes for homeowners who want something truly distinctive.

Custom & Artisan Finishes

Craftsmanship You Can See and Feel

Mass-produced materials can make one home look like the next. Artisan finishes do the opposite. A hand-applied plaster wall, a carefully selected stone slab, or a custom wood detail gives a room depth, texture, and personality that can't be replicated from a catalog.

Sublime's team has spent more than 30 years creating innovative, one-of-a-kind designs. These specialty finishes can be the centerpiece of a remodel or the details that elevate an entire home.

Options

Specialty Finishes

Some of the finishes our team specializes in:
  • Venetian Plaster

    A layered, hand-applied finish with subtle movement and depth, suited to feature walls, entries, range hoods, and fireplaces.

  • Granite

    A durable natural stone for countertops, vanities, and surfaces, with variation that makes each slab unique.

  • Marble

    Classic and elegant, marble brings timeless character to bathrooms, kitchens, and accent areas.

  • Cast Glass

    Cast glass can add light, texture, and a sculptural quality to architectural details.

  • Custom Wood Finishes and Woodwork

    Custom woodwork, built-ins, and wood finishes that bring warmth and craftsmanship to any room.

Design & Materials

Choosing a Specialty Finish

A few things to think about when selecting artisan finishes:
Placement and Purpose
Feature finishes have the greatest impact where they can be seen and appreciated, such as an entry, fireplace, or kitchen focal point.
Maintenance
Natural stone, plaster, and wood each need different care. We explain what to expect so you can choose confidently.
Harmony With the Home
The best specialty finishes complement the architecture and the other materials in the room rather than competing with them.
Seeing Samples
Texture, color, and sheen are best judged in person and in your home's light.

The Process

How Specialty Finish Projects Work

Artisan finishes are planned carefully because they are so visible.
  1. Step 1: Discuss the Vision

    We talk through the look you want, where it will go, and how it fits the home.

  2. Step 2: Samples and Selection

    Colors, textures, and materials are reviewed and approved.

  3. Step 3: Preparation

    Surfaces are prepared properly, which is essential for a lasting finish.

  4. Step 4: Application and Installation

    The finish is applied or installed with careful attention to detail.

  5. Step 5: Review

    We review the finished work together.
