Faux finishing
has been used for millennial, from cave painting to Ancient Egypt, but what we generally think of as faux finishing in
decorative arts began with Plaster and Stucco Finishes in Mesopotamia over 5000 years Ago examples of faux painting.
Faux became hugely popular in Classical times in the forms of faux Marble, faux Wood, and Tromp O'neill Murals. Artists
would apprentice for 10 years or more with a master faux painter before working on their own. Great recognition was
rewarded to artist who could actually trick viewers into believing their work was the real thing. Faux painting has
continued to be popular throughout the ages, but experienced major resurgences in the neoclassical revival of the
nineteenth century and the Art Deco styles of the 1920s. Throughout the recent history of decorative painting, faux
finishing has been mainly used in commercial and public spaces.In the late 1980s and early 1990s faux finishing saw
another major revival, as wallpaper began to fall out of fashion. At this point, faux painting started to become extremely
popular in home environments, with high end homes leading the trends. While it can be quite expensive to hire a
professional faux finisher, many faux painting methods are simple enough for a beginning home owner to create with a
little instruction. People are also attracted to the simplicity of changing a faux finish, as it can be easily painted over
compared with the hassle of removing wallpaper.

Ann in Aurora, interior house painting, IL Outstanding is the only word to use for the work done in our home. From the timely arrival to the completion of the work, everything was done in a most professional manner. The workers were neat and courteous and their efforts are to be applauded. I would highly recommend Lakewood Painter for everyone's residential paint needs.* Pastor Jeff in Westmont, Exterior residential House Painter Service: I really find it so refreshing to deal with a guy who seems to be on top of his game. In my 35 years of pastoring, I have seen so many of my congregates ripped and hurt by promises. I was genuinely impressed when one of your references called me back and gave you such a high grade. In the meantime, I will not hesitate to recommend you to our folks. Thank you for your reply. Your Servant In Christ.* Kris in Naperville Interior residential House Painter Service Illinois The fact is, for 6 years now I've worked with many paint companies. I find that anyone can paint...it's the working details that count. In this area, I have high expectations. I expect the paint companies that I enlist to be honest, to show up when promised, to work quickly, to use the brand/quality of paint promised, to be respectful of my client's homes, to cut clean lines and to present the final bill in accordance with the estimate. Should any problem arise, I expect honest communication. Lakewood Painter lives up to these expectations... Consistently. & In addition, my reputation is dependent upon the performance of the vendors that I recommend to my clients. I have no concerns recommending Lakewood, as a matter of fact, I do it often, with confidence (Residential Interior Decorator)* Sue in Orland Park, Interior Residential House Painter Service Illinois: The crew that was sent here were very quick and clean. They did a very big job in just 2 days. I never thought that it was going to look so nice. This is a company that I would recommend to all my friends and family. As a matter of fact I already did! It was an excellent job. Thanks for a job well done. Sarah from Wheaton, Illinois Interior Residential Painter Service Purchased and delivered the paint. Prepared the walls for painting, repairing drywall as needed. Applied two paint coats to the ceiling and walls. Excellent job, nice straight cut lines. I have used Lakewood a number of times and crews have consistently performed well. I called four others to bid my great room and two story foot foyer. Three showed up, and of those three, Lakewood painter was the best price by $100.00. The others expected to need two days, but Lakewood painter promised one day. A two man crew came in to paint about a week later, arriving 8:30'ish in the morning, moved furniture out of their way, and prepared the walls. They put two coats of paint on ceiling and walls. They did a decent clean-up job and finished it all up about 3:30 in the afternoon. I had the same results each of the three other times Lakewood painted for me. Kris from Naperville Illinois Interior and Exterior Residential Service Whole house interior and exterior residential painter for a new homeowner/client of and exterior and they took over from there. I met the owners of Lakewood several years ago and decided to refer them to a client of mine for a good sized project. As a faux finisher and decor consultant, I was leery to refer anyone to my clients because it would put my reputation on the line if they were anything like the past nightmare has begun with a paint contractor you don't know...'you get what you pay for', etc. However, from the first project on, Your Painter has been dependable, fast, clean and reasonably priced for both interior and exterior painter work. I've grown to know most of the crew by name over the years - a loyalty that says a lot about the owners and their standards. Even more importantly, if there has ever been a challenging issue (which happens from time to time with any paint contractor), they have stood above the crowd by politely and promptly resolving the issue to the customer's satisfaction. I have continued to use and still recommend them highly for both commercial and residential projects both large and small. Mike in Wheaton, Illinois, Exterior House Painting Service I had the exterior of my home painted and they were wonderful. They were very carefull of my plants and landscaping. They were very nice and helpful, The estimator was prompt nice and very helpful with suggestion on the project. The workers arrived on time,covered everything that need it, they took extra care of my budding flowers and plants. They were very professional (no loud music or bad language) Everything was done in a very timely manner. They cleaned everything up when done and took all the garbage with them they did not leave empty paint cans . I was so pleased with everything from start to finish I am hiring them to do interior. I highly recommend them. Wanda in Palos Hills, Illinois Lakewood painted the interior of our home after we had major water damage and reconstruction. They completed interior walls and trim on a lower-level exercise room, home theater and bed and bathroom, as well as the kitchen and main living areas of our home. The majority of the walls were new drywall that was installed after the repairs from major water damage. We had them return when we decided to paint an oak staircase and trim white to match new kitchen cabinets. We had interviewed several companies and felt that Lakewood was the most knowledgeable, since we were unsure if the oak would cover properly. We also had an oak entry door that needed to be painted. Again I wasn't sure if it could be painted white to match, but I was assured that it could. They did an excellent job and I love the updated look that we now have in our house. Connie in Lisle, Illinois Exterior Residential Painter Service I had one of your crews at my home today doing our exterior. I just wanted to let you know that they did an awesome job! All three of them were very professional and courteous and did a meticulous job of exterior paint. They were very neat and did not make any messes. They put everything back the way that they found it, and the paint looks wonderful! One of my neighbors even asked me if we had gotten new down spouts because they looked like they were brand new! They worked as long as they could today, and will still need to come back to finish. This is a big job. I understand that it may take a few days for them to return because of the impending storms, no problem. I just thought that I would let you know that I was very impressed with them. I know that so many times employers only hear the bad things about their employees. I wanted to make sure that you knew that you are employing some great guys. Thanks and we looked forward to a finished job! When they are finished.
