Holsten Faux Finishes

Interior Painting, Exterior Painting, Drywall,

About us

I am a sole proprietor. I do occasionally use sub-contractors that I know and have trusted for at least five years for large scale exteriors. The biggest crew I like running is four people, including myself. I think things get sloppy, and slow otherwise. That being said, I make a point that when you hire me, that you are hiring me. I am hands on with every project. And, most of the time I do work alone. Until now, I have only used word of mouth advertising. I have painted for 19 years, and I have owned this business for 6 years. I always work with the individual client on billing. On smaller jobs, I can usually wait until the job is finished before I invoice. On bigger jobs I like to invoice either in phases of the job (where it makes sense,) or bi-weekly. I rarely if ever ask for a deposit up front. The only special deals I have is when you refer me to another paying individual, I cut my hourly rate by $5.00 for three years should you require my services later.

This is the second time we've used Jon. He's painted 2 of our bedrooms and kitchen as well. Jon is very thorough and detail oriented. As I tell others, I swear he cuts down our walls, painted, then rehung them. His seams are perfect. He does amazing patchwork and fixed a couple of my own screw ups. The only downside is he's done such an amazing job that we feel like we have to replace our trim, because it is obvious where the previous owners weren't careful enough when they painted. Disclosure: I went to school with Jon and have been friends with him for 20+ years.
Description of Work: Painted our living room, dining room, hallway and bathroom.

Maybe it's just me, but often times when I look for someone to do work on the house, I think and quot;here we go, this person is going to shaft me on the expenses, I won't be able to relate to this stranger, etcand quot;, but Jon is a well-traveled, college educated, down to earth nice guy who is trustworthy, won't shaft you on the price, and does a good, professional job.
Description of Work: I have had Jon Holsten do several projects on my house over the past couple of years, but this is the most recent. He has a BA in fine arts from a local college, and does a lot of mural art (interior), but for me he has done some interior painting, drywall, and also deck work (washed, sealed and stained). I have known him for several years since moving to Milwaukee (from the East Coast) and have seen his portfolio of mural work, which he has been doing in this area for about six years or so, and for many years before that, he was doing faux finishes and other general painting work.
