The cabinet was built by someone else and the paint was very bad. Marcelino stopped by and sent me an estimate to refinish. I approved on Thursday. He picked the cabinet up on Friday and deliverrd a beautifully finished cabinet on Monday at a very fair price. Highly recommended.!

Marcelino is very easy to work with and provides you a sample before he proceeds with the work to ensure that you are getting what you want. He painted a very large ceiling in our great room and the ceiling in our dining room. His prices are reasonable for getting artistic faux finishes that just not anyone can achieve. He also has a hard working team to assist.

Still working on getting it right.
Response from Marcelino Custom Finishes, Inc.
"Important to clarify,this is a touch-up (water leak) of work done by someone else. Client is yet to decide if we are going to address the touch-up, or redo the faux painting on ceiling."

Marcelino is very talented and knowledgable in his art. His love of painting and art is evident in everything he does. Pleasant, cordial, professional and reliable. His associate was excellent and demonstrated the same characteristics. Thank you.

Marccelino and his crew were very efficient, friendly, and skilled. They got in, did the work, and got out, all the while maintaining a clean orderly workplace environment.

The work on the cabinets was first-rate. The crew were always exactly on time, very friendly, and worked constantly. They took great care to seal off the kitchen so that dust would not blow through the house. The owner explained the process to me and kept on schedule - he was at the house every day also. Everything went as projected. I would definitely hire them again. The cabinets look wonderful.

A very clean and professional job. I thought I would be in for a "big mess" but it wasn't at all. The cupboard doors and drawers were taken away to be refinished and the remaining on site sanding and lacquering were accomplished efficiently and with an eye to detail. My kitchen was back in use within the week to my complete satisfaction.

I was looking for someone to give our painted peach brick fireplace a natural look. Marcelino came out to our home to show us what could be done and he talked with us to see what we wanted to achieve. Within minutes he had captured what I had been trying to explain for months. Marcelino is professional in every aspect of his work. His work exceeded my expectations in every way. I look forward to recommending him to friends. You will not be disappointed!

Marcilino repainted our kitchen and touched up other places in the house, as well as refinishing some cabinets and desks. He also painted our bathroom vanity to look like green marble (to match the sink)- it looks fantastic! Very professional and very reasonable prices.

Marcelino was and is awesome! i would use him not only for myself again but I am an interior designer and i would use him in a heartbeat for any of my clients needing those services. He was professional, timely, courteous, and does AMAZING work. I had some unusual ideas that i wanted implemented in our home and he was quick not only to understand what my vision was but to achieve it flawlessly as well. I admire his work every single day in our home now. Very talented faux finisher! Janette Yearley

I was extremely pleased with Marcelino both from a customer-service perspective and for the work he did on my fireplace wall. Marcelino was extremely professional and knowledgeable and did a fantastic job on the texturing of my fireplace wall. He is extremely personable, professional and talented - his work on my fireplace wall exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend him to my friends and family!

Marcelino did a great job! He responded immediately, met me on site with samples, and completed the job as promised. He painted my smooth concrete fire place surround, mantel, and hearth to look like stone - amazing! His price was very fair and he is currently working on a proposal to do a mural in my home -- and he is a very nice person.

Marcelino was very prompt in answering my inquiry. I was still on the computer when he called me! We met that afternoon at my house. He was very professional and listened to what my ideas were about an outdoor mural on my stucco wall. Together with his creativity and talent, I now have a backyard "oasis." Marcelino and his assistant seemed to really enjoy what they do, and it shows in the quality of their artistry and workmanship. Now I want him to embelish my bathroom walls.

I was in need of an artist for a Trompe Loeil mural I wanted for my new restaurant. Your service matched me with Marcelino Custom Finishes. Let me tell you, this gentleman and artist did a fabulous job with my restaurant. He painted the most beautiful Italian countryside with trees, fountains, balconies and more expanding close to 15' by 11' at my restaurant entrance. It looks incredible. This type of painting is such a specialized art form and it was great to find Marcelino on your site. THANK YOU Marcelino and thank you Service Magic. He was the only one of the three matches that responded back to me as well. He is a true profession
