Once we met the Genuine Hands team, we knew that they were the right choice. They truly CARED and brought attention to detail to every choice - helping source non-toxic paint, cleaning up the space, sanding and finishing, color selection, ALL OF IT. The final product transformed our well worn space and restored its classic Victorian glory.

Sasha and Cornelio did an awesome job painting our tin ceiling panels and molding prior to installation. They found a creative way to spray 2 coats on the panels on-site and in the same day. The work was really high quality and they offered to do touch ups after the installer completed their work. Sasha also cleaned and sealed a newly uncovered chimney in the same room. Great communication, and attention to detail, flexible in scheduling, generally chill and great to work with.

Details: Ceiling(s) • Residential • Very large (over 100 sq ft) • I have design drawings

Sasha did an amazing job for us. Her work is incredibly meticulous and she thought of every single detail we didn’t consider. She is incredibly professional, knows her craft, and made some excellent recommendations for the project. She also came over to give us a quote the same week I reached out and was able to get started the very next weekend! Everything came together just beautifully and we couldn’t be happier!

I must say she’s an amazing person. I found her on Thumbtack. We both agreed to set up an appointment to do a walk-through. I was looking for a 3-D moon to come out the wall. I had my contractor build out the wall and she came in and did her 3-D concrete to make the moon look realistic. I must say it was a pleasure to work with her. She has really good energy on top of that. She is very professional very talented. I must say she will get the job done.

Details: Indoor wall(s) • Residential • Small (less than 25 sq ft) • I have an idea of what I want

Thank You Amanda~ It was a pleasure to work with sculpting cement in such an artistic way. Painting in the stars for the night sky was very satisfying, including the constellations Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Orion’s Belt and all the small stars in between with glow around the moon. It came out beautifully thank you so much for the opportunity to artfully craft a commissioned outcome such as the night sky. It was a pleasure! ✨🖌️
