Local Artists Near Norfolk

“Our first experience with Brum Faux Finishing was with our powder room done in a beautifiul coppery faux finish. Ricardo is such an artist. His work ethic is flawless and he works diligently until the job is done. My husband and I loved his work so much we had him come back to do our foyer and sun room. Each area looks like a piece of art, finished down to the electrical cover plates, ventilation ducts and mathing caulking. Recently we had terrible water damage on the first floor in the house and had sheet rock that needed to be replaced in some of the areas Ricardo had painted. Ricardo came back years later and repaired the damaged areas, matching the his original work to a tee. We will definitely use Brum Faux Finishing again. Elizabeth and George White”

“We live in a two-story, approximately 2,000 square foot, 41-year old house. Over the years, we have done plenty of DIY improvements and a few renovations that we contracted with professionals. We have added a porch and deck, added hardwood floors, expanded and renovated three bathrooms, updated the family room, replaced siding and windows. The latest renovation was to completely gut our 1971 kitchen and make it a dream space. As with our last two renovations, we turned to the husband/wife team of Alan and Nora Crouch at Rose Gate Design Studio. We have come to rely on their expertise in building and renovation, their keen design talent, and their integrity and pride in doing a job that pleases the client as well as meets their high standards of a job well done. They deserve 10 stars for their attention to detail, originality and patience with picky clients! After doing three renovations with Alan and Nora, we wouldn't dream of trusting our next renovation to anyone else! And we have at least one more big project to do!”

“Helen did a beautiful custom painting for me. The scene was exactly what I asked her to do. This painting will certainly be passed on to my children and hopefully their children. I have a couple other paintings in mind for her to do.”
