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.

Design & Materials
Choosing a Specialty Finish
- 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.
