What We Do
A Complete Finishing Service
For nearly fifty years, Jerome Russo’s has delivered the full spectrum of luxury painting and decorating, from flawless interior and exterior painting to the rare, hand-applied decorative finishes that define a truly bespoke home. Every service below is performed by our own skilled craftspeople, to a single uncompromising standard.
Painting, Done Properly
Interior Painting & Fine Finishes
Walls, ceilings, trim, and millwork finished to a flawless standard, with the surface preparation and dust control that fine, high-touch interiors demand.
Exterior & Coastal Coatings
Marine-grade, UV-stable systems and meticulous preparation engineered for salt air, sun, and humidity, protecting facades, trim, and architectural detail against the harshest waterfront conditions.
Cabinetry & Millwork Refinishing
Furniture-grade refinishing for kitchens, libraries, and built-ins, sprayed and leveled for a glass-smooth, durable result that looks factory-finished.
Bespoke Craft
Decorative & Specialty Finishes
The finishes most contractors cannot offer, applied by hand, the old way, by craftspeople who have spent careers perfecting them.
Venetian Plaster
Lime putty and marble dust applied in thin, hand-troweled layers and burnished to a luminous, marble-like sheen. Dense and water-resistant once sealed, timeless for foyers, feature walls, and powder rooms.
Marmorino
An ancient lime-and-marble-dust plaster with a soft, natural stone texture. Breathable and naturally resistant to mold and mildew, especially well suited to South Florida interiors.
Roman Clay
A smooth, troweled mineral finish between lime wash and Venetian plaster: matte to low-sheen, with gentle tonal movement and quiet, organic depth.
Lime Wash
Slaked-lime washes brushed in thin coats for a velvety, chalky matte with a luminous haze. Breathable and bonded to the surface, beautifully suited to Mediterranean and coastal homes.
Microcement
A seamless, cement-based finish prized for durability and a clean, contemporary character, at home on walls and architectural surfaces alike.
Gold & Silver Leaf
Hand-applied metal leafing for ceilings, mouldings, and accents, the kind of detail that turns a room into a statement.
Faux Finishing
Color washing, strié, glazing, and ragging applied by hand, adding depth, movement, and old-world character to walls and ceilings.
Metallic & Pearl Finishes
Shimmering metallic plasters and pearlescent glazes that catch the light, striking on feature walls, ceilings, and powder rooms.
High-Gloss & Lacquer
Mirror-smooth, deep-luster lacquer for walls, doors, and millwork, the most demanding finish in the trade, built coat by coat in a controlled, dust-free process.
Beyond the Brush
Wallcovering
Expert installation and removal of wallpaper, grasscloth, and specialty coverings, with the patient preparation a clean, seamless result demands.
Custom Staining & Wood Finishing
Custom stains and clear finishes for doors, cabinetry, beams, and architectural woodwork, enriching the grain while protecting it for years.
Restoration & Refinishing
Furniture refinishing, stone and brick restoration, and the careful revival of architectural surfaces throughout the home.
Custom Color & Spray Finishing
In-house custom color matching and fine spray application for the smoothest possible finish on cabinetry, doors, and trim.
Drywall & Surface Repair
Patching, skim-coating, and surface repair that erase cracks, dings, and prior wear, so the new finish reads perfectly flat and seamless.
Pressure Washing & Exterior Prep
Gentle soft-washing and thorough exterior preparation that lift salt, grime, and mildew so new coatings bond and last by the water.
Coastal Expertise
Built for the South Florida Coast
Salt-laden air corrodes. Intense UV fades and breaks down ordinary coatings. Humidity invites mold and mildew. Standard approaches simply do not last by the water, which is why we specify marine-grade, breathable systems and follow uncompromising surface preparation on every exterior we touch.
When a home runs well into seven and eight figures, the finish is never merely cosmetic. It is asset protection, a barrier between your investment and one of the most demanding climates in the country.
