Lisa Haas Design and Paint aka Acanthus

We are a local Interior Design Firm and we use Lisa and her team any time we need specialty painting on a project. Lisa is super easy to work with and a very talented artist.

Lisa and her crew are always professional and go beyond to make sure you are happy with their work. They are clean and respectful and I miss them when they're gone! Her design ideas are spot on with the architecture and colors of your home. I look forward to more projects with Lisa and her crew!

Lisa and her team recently completed a major paint project at our house and their work was fantastic. Our house is 11 years old and is stucco, which had faded and changed color. The team needed to repair cracks in the stucco and to paint it and to paint the trim. As Lisa recommended, they also applied faux to the stucco, which added depth. The color choice was tricky and they cheerfully made many paint store trips. Their approach was that of true and gifted professionals. They took tremendous care and the result is wonderful. The job took approximately a month and I found the team to be lovely humans, as well as gifted painters. Can recommend them highly, particularly if the project would benefit from terrific color artistry, as well as highly skilled painting.

Lisa Haas and her team are by far the best painters I have ever worked with. We hired them to do our entire house - inside and out. As we were recreating old California barns, it was important that we capture an updated old world feel without that 'trying-to-hard-look.' They succeeded! Lisa is an artist in the truest sense of the word. Her ability to nail a color is uncanny and while I consider myself a colorist, she has me beat hands down. I could not have created the look without them. She and her team are professional, dependable and fun to work with. I highly recommend them I have added some pictures, but they don't do it justice.

I purchased a large residence and cottage in need of a total update. I Hired this company to do all interior painting, wood staining, and faux work, in addition to significant exterior repair and painting associated with the project. Lisa Haas Design was the perfect contractor for my work. I wanted more than an "ordinary" commercial paint job in the high end home and that is exactly what was provided. The group of men who did most of the prep work, priming, and base coating are simply the best commercial painters I have ever done business with. Ms. Haas herself and her team provided the artistic treatment to the areas of the home where required. Lisa is not just a painter but an artist with a very practiced and discerning eye, not only for superior color coordinating or matching but the finest detail and accent work available anywhere. We are very lucky to have this fine team of professionals in this area. They provided extremely valuable suggestions for faux finishes and detailed stenciling and artwork to make my project truly one of a kind and outstanding by almost any measure. They have experience and are extremely capable of producing all types of finishes on a variety of surfaces. These include the look and texture of ancient plasters and old world treatments to the most modern slick multi- layered finishes seen in ultra modern design. Their eye and conscientious attention to the smallest artistic details make them simply this area's finest painting / decorating team and yet the professionalism and efficiency their workmanship displays also makes them a superior choice for even very simple uncomplicated painting jobs. I could not have been more pleased with the work the company performed for me and I would recommend them to anyone needing competent professional paint or surface finish treatments.

The most talented and professional painted ever. She looks at the situations and then creates the most magnificent work! I have used her for various homes both in the US and Europe and she always does more an I could ever ask for! Next, clean and a creative genius.

Very loyal, honest and caring of their customers. They listen and provide great ideas for your project. They are skilled and have been in business for many years. I Love their work.

Lisa and team faux painted our powder room. The team did a professional job and were very creative. We were very pleased and plan to use Acanthus in future home projects

Lisa and her crew are an outstanding company with innovative and expert skills for anyone who wants to give their house a great look both inside and out. Lisa helped us make our house a showplace with her sense of color, workmanship and design ability and helped us materialize our ideas to magazine quality perfection. Lisa is highly skilled and can design for any part of the house. To mention just a few of the areas she made come alive: she painted our living room ceiling beams (15-feet high) to look like they were taken out of an old house in Spain, she painted our powder room to look like damask wall paper and surrounded our living room windows that were very large to look interesting without having to put up drapes that would have ruined a view. She and her crew are dependable, fun to work with and her pricing is absolutely a bargain for the quality of work she delivers We highly recommend her to anyone.

Lisa Haas is extremely talented. If you are looking for someone with both artistic skill and technical expertise, look no further. She has done multiple projects for me (large jobs and little jobs) and has helped me with color selection, design ideas and project management. She can make walls, furniture, flooring, ceilings, just about anything come to life with paint. I would highly reccommend Lisa.

Love Lisa Haas! Her expert abilities soar above anyone I've ever hired always offering a variety of color choices and styles that always highlight my homes architecture. This is my third home with Lisa and her team. Her use of color and natural light exemplifies and her hands on approach and coupled with humor, always shines through with stunning results. Thank you again Lisa! Thyme Lewis

Lisa Haas and her team of skilled professional painters painted the upstairs of our Spanish colonial house five years ago. When we decided to redo the first floor this past year we did not hesitate in returning to them. If anything, the painting job, attention to detail, and courtesy was even higher this time. In addition to the painting, which made a huge difference as Lisa helped us select the colors, her team also did stenciling on the arches and a free - handed design in the office. Lisa and her team are simply the best and most professional painters on the Monterey Peninsula, and I do not hesitate to recommend them to all who demand and expect an excellent job.
