What Customers Are Saying About Ancient Modern Finishes
Masters of Artistic Transformation
Customers consistently praise the company's exceptional artistic abilities, particularly owner Florian's talent for decorative finishes. Rod McKenzie shared his amazement at a specific project where "to my amazement they painted the white steel/glass entry doors to match the wood wall shelf installed in our entry including all the wood grain. You could examine those doors closely and not know they were not real wood." This level of craftsmanship demonstrates the company's ability to create stunning illusions that fool even close inspection.
The Team That Delivers Perfection
Multiple reviewers emphasize the company's commitment to flawless execution. Richard Treiser, a returning customer, describes them as "perfectionists" who completed his office repainting over a weekend, noting "It looked great and there was not a drop of paint anywhere that it shouldn't have been."
