The company's focus on providing great service along with a creative, unique, and durable product has allowed it to grow to be one of the most successful decorative paint finishing companies in the Golden Horseshoe Area. The first products available to our clients included such decorative paint finishes as simple glazes and textures, Venetian plaster and complex woodgraining. Although these finishes have changed in style and popularity through the years, they still remain the foundation for the finishes we create today: glaze, texture, metallic, and wood. With two full-time staff artists holding Bachelor of Arts degrees in Fine Arts, we have diversified our product line to also offer custom art in acrylic, oil, and textile. Our mission is to lead the surface finishing industry with innovations that create opportunities and offer a cleaner, brighter future. ### Services Provided - Faux Brick Veneer ### Areas Served - Greater Toronto Area - Hamilton ### Typical Job Cost $1000 - $10000 The cost of each job will vary greatly depending on amount and complexity of finishing required ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Daria Horrocks | | Address | 4-38A Bigwin Road, Hamilton, Ontario L8W 3R4, Canada | | Phone | (416) 836-9969 | | Website | http://www.horrocksco.com | | Followers on Houzz | 107 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/horrocksco ## Offers 10% Brick Veneer ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Daria Horrocks](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/paint-and-wall-covering-dealers/daria-horrocks-pfvwus-pf~881587985) - **Website:** http://www.horrocksco.com - **Phone:** (416) 836-9969 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2015–2016), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.6 out of 5 — 9 reviews** ### All 9 reviews **★ — j Nelson, June 2019** > Totally not dependable - did not show up for an appointment and did not respond to either emails or phone calls made subsequently to understand the 'no show' **★★★★★ — avenue design inc, Jan. 2016** > Daria and Stefan were both very professional and easy to communicate with from the quoting process and through to execution. We were on a very tight deadline and they both made sure that the job started on the scheduled day, as well as finished in a timely matter so that the clients could be back into their home for Christmas. > The install went very smoothly and their surrounding areas were kept tidy. Very pleased with the final result - looking forward to working together again! **Comment from Daria Horrocks:** > Eva thank you very much. We appreciate the kind words. Daria **★★★★★ — koosandra, Aug. 2015** > Our living room had a floor to ceiling black stone fireplace. It was too dark so we called Horrocks and Co. To paint it out to look include rust and grey tones. The task seemed nearly impossible however within 2days it was completely transformed into a warm colour stone that enhances the beauty of this century old farmhouse. They did an amazing job we are most grateful to them for restoring the room to a cozy place that we can relax in. **★★★★★ — Catherine Campbell Interior Design, Jan. 2015** > I have been a client and colleague over the last number of years with Horrocks & Co. and have always been extremely pleased with their creative flair, professionalism and expertise in coordinating a project without delays. > I recently hired them to paint my own 22 year old kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are solid oak and of a good quality and design, as well as the layout still being very functional. > Being a believer in reuse - recycle, as well as wanting to keep my granite counter top and limestone backsplash, Horrocks painted my cabinets in a light cream with a coffee glaze. The new finish gave my kitchen a totally new life, as well as creating a much brighter space visually. The finishing touch was the new oil rubbed bronze hardware. > A total transition was achieved at a fraction of the cost of new cabinetry! > Thank you again Daria and team! > > Catherine Campbell Interior Design **Comment from Daria Horrocks:** > Catherine, kitchen looks amazing. It is always a great pleasure to work with you. Thank you very much for your kind words. Daria **★★★★★ — KMSalter Design, Nov. 2014** > Horrocks & Co. never ceases to amaze me!

Daria **★★★★★ — bvisocki, Feb. 2014** > Five years ago when I was looking for someone to repaint our two storey hallway, I was given a referral to Horrocks and Company. I met with Daria, the owner, at my home , and then went to her lovely studio where she had over 3000 actual sample boards to choose from. Many of their finishes are unique to their company and just stunning, I wanted something warm but bright. Daria recommended a complete make over...the ceiling stipple was removed and replaced with a finish that did not require applying new plaster; crown moulding was installed and the walls were painted and glazed to look like a parchment finish. The prep and actual work was completed so quickly, and the results were beautiful....soft, subtle, and timeless. I loved it so much that I had her repeat it in our master ensuite where it complimented our imported italian tile floors beautifully . The finish makes it durable, but if I ever need touch ups she has my file on her database and can match it perfectly . I was so impressed with their expertise and professional approach that I recommend them highly. ## Selected projects - [Mississauga Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mississauga-residence-pj-vj~749954) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: This has been one of the longest projects we have done and still going.

A: I would love to paint this pattern on the wall, you can choose any colours as well. **Q: Lovely wall art!** *(in Photo Questions)* Could this look be achieved with personal/professional photos? Is this lighting underneath? If it is could I turn it on or off? I love your work, I'll call soon as I have a few other things to discuss with you. A: Hello Elizabeth. Thank you for your question and nice comments about our work. Yes the light is underneath the art. Peter Brejnik of Brejnik Fine Homes www.brejnik.ca will be happy to give you more information about it. Daria **Q: How was this created?** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you please tell me what kind of paint is the basecoat? Is it eggshell? How did you create the other squares...it looks like glaze? Thank you so much, it's beautiful. A: Hello Liz. This is one of my favourite finishes. It can be done in many colours. We will be happy to sell you the product. The top coat is Horrocks & Co. Metallic. The tools are made at our studio. Daria **Q: Bought a new house with a totally outdated kitchen. The cabinets are s** *(in Design Dilemma)* And new backslash, paint, counters and floors are needed. Should I paint the cabinets white?? Any ideas? A: Hello Michelle, we do this all the time, but we tint it ourself. You need to wash the cabinets to make sure all the dirt and grease is removed. Just go to paint store and ask to tint the varnish, if you want to loose the gold make sure they put some magenta in your varnish. You will be doing two things at the same time protecting and refreshing your cabinets. Win win situation. Good luck. This is easy solution. Minwax will work. **Q: Is this home in Hamilton and who did the railing?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: You need to contact Parkyn design about the railing. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
