About Our Specialty Finishes Service
When standard paint colors aren't enough, TrueEdge Paint's specialty finishes team creates truly unique, artisan-quality surfaces that transform ordinary walls into design statements. Our specialty finishes include venetian plaster, limewash, faux wood grain, metallic finishes, color washing, glazing, and textured wall treatments. Each specialty finish requires a different set of skills, tools, and materials — and our team has mastered them all through years of practice and ongoing training. Whether you want the old-world elegance of venetian plaster in a dining room, the rustic charm of limewash in a bedroom, or a dramatic metallic accent wall in a commercial lobby, TrueEdge Paint delivers results that can't be achieved with standard paint alone.

Our Process
Design Consultation
We discuss your vision, show samples, and recommend the best specialty finish for your space and goals.
Surface Preparation
Specialty finishes require perfect surface prep — we skim coat, sand, and prime to create an ideal base.
Sample Application
We apply a sample section for your approval before proceeding with the full application.
Full Application & Sealing
The finish is applied in multiple coats using artisan techniques, then sealed for durability.

Why This Service Matters in Des Moines
Des Moines-area properties face freeze-thaw cycles, summer humidity, and temperature swings that expose weak prep or low-grade coatings quickly. TrueEdge Paint's approach to specialty finishes is built around those local conditions with careful prep, premium systems, and practical scheduling. We regularly complete interior painting, exterior painting, and related projects throughout the metro, including Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, and nearby communities.
