Pigment in the plaster — not on top of it
Fresco is pigment applied to wet plaster — integral color that becomes part of the wall itself. We scope surface prep, plaster layers, and pigment integration before work begins so the finished surface holds depth and durability that paint alone cannot match.
Every fresco project starts with your space, lighting, and architectural context. Reference images, color direction, and scale are confirmed in consultation. Part of our art & murals services across Snohomish County and North King County.

Feature Walls

Ceiling Fresco
Overhead plaster work with pigment integration — lighting, scale, and access are confirmed in consultation before scaffolding or lifts are scheduled.
Architectural Niches
Fresco finishes in alcoves, archways, and built-in recesses — tied to surrounding trim and plaster profiles.

Our Process
How a Fresco Project Runs
Three clear phases from consultation to finished surface — with material direction agreed before plaster work begins.
Consultation & Samples
We review your space, lighting, and color direction. Material samples and layer plan are documented before plaster work is scheduled.
Plaster Layers & Pigment
Substrate prep and base coats run first. Pigment is integrated into wet plaster layers with inspectable milestones at each stage.
Finish & Protection
Final texture refinement and protective treatments where needed. Care instructions provided at handoff.

Fresco Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions about fresco technique, commissions, cost, and how to get started.
What is fresco compared to a painted mural?
Fresco applies pigment to wet plaster so color becomes integral to the wall. A painted mural applies pigment on top of a dry surface. We route mural inquiries to our murals page when that approach fits better.
How much does a fresco feature wall cost?
Cost depends on surface area, layer count, substrate prep, and access. A single accent wall is a different scope than a ceiling fresco or full-room finish. We provide a written proposal after consultation — not a flat price list.
What areas do you serve for fresco work?
We serve Snohomish County and North King County, based in Granite Falls. Contact us with your address and we will confirm availability.
Does the wall need prep before fresco?
Yes. Substrate condition affects plaster adhesion and pigment integration. We assess prep needs honestly in consultation — extensive remodel prep may be scoped separately or through our remodel wing.
Can I see pigment and texture samples before committing?
Yes. Material samples are part of our consultation process so you can see color direction and texture profile on board before full-scale plaster work begins.
How long does a fresco project take?
Timeline depends on surface area, layer count, and drying time between coats. A single feature wall may run several weeks. Your proposal includes a realistic schedule.
