After moving from an 1801 stone farmhouse 2 years ago to a new carriage house, we were happy to have Jeff transform our ordinary white dining room walls and ceiling into something beautiful. The faux finishing that he did in several other areas of our home just put the finishing touch to our décor. He custom made great sample boards to help us select the finish that we wanted and he worked diligently to accomplish the carefully executed product that is truly distinctive of his work. Our dining room is the first room you see when entering our home and it looks beautiful in all lighting conditions. We especially like the toweled metallic tray ceiling, which is very elegant. Covering the switch plates and room grates is an added work of perfection to the three-color glazed wall finish. It truly is a noticeable change and the color schemes match well with the furnishings to compliment each other. We're glad we did it! It was amazing to watch him transform the walls into something so different. We never had the chance to do something like this in our former home and we love it. Congratulations Jeff, you have a superior talent!

The rooms Jeff custom finished are stunning and are always lavishly praised by all who see them. What impressed us most was his attention to detail and remarkable work ethic. He treated our Home like an accomplished artist treats a prized painting and was relentless in pursuing the perfection that was the completed project.

Jeff began working for me at a time when I had lost all faith in service providers; it had been an extremely difficult 2 ½ year renovation. Jeff exhibits tremendous professionalism, knowledge, and just as importantly, patience. He has an excellent understanding of colors, textures, and every other facet necessary to help create a beautiful home. I have reviewed other portfolios and Jeff’s was the most extensive and complete – the options seemed limitless, yet with Jeff’s guidance the decisions were easy and the results in our home amazing! We wholeheartedly recommend Jeff – his results and ability to work with people are truly exceptional.

In a matter of days, Jeff transformed my dining room into a beautiful “work of art” with his skillful application of faux finishing. He also wallpapered areas and painted the wood trim. His vast portfolio of sample finishes, as well as preparing customized sample boards, served as great tools in finalizing my decision for my own faux finish. Jeff, it was a pleasure working with you!

During our first meeting to review color, texture, etc., the options you gave us were countless. The time you took to match colors with the fabrics and leathers being used reflected in the sample boards you prepared for our approval in our second meeting. You have a proven ability to focus on one customer at a time. The preparation of our rooms to start the job and the clean up afterwards was meticulous.
Jeff, what you have done for our home is truly a work of art and even though we had spent tens of thousands of dollars on the furnishings and accessories, the rooms would not have the overwhelming beauty if it weren't for you.

Jeff's innovative surface options are second to none. As one of Lancaster County’s premier custom homebuilders,we are very discerning when selecting someone to work on our projects. Jeff met our criteria. He is extremely professional in his approach. His attention to detail is evident in his work. It is obvious by the quality of his work that he takes pride in what he does. Jeff even documents his work so that the unique finish he creates for a specific client can be duplicated later should they want additional work done.
In conclusion, you will be very pleased with Jeff Shultz and his work. I can heartily recommend him to fill your faux painting needs.

We have contracted with Jeff Shultz to have him do his special effects wall painting both in our new corporate office addition (Quality Custom Cabinetry) as well as a family room renovation in our personal home. Each time Jeff has taken the time to sit with us and show us samples and explain the meticulous process he does to achieve the look we wanted. Jeff’s work is professional and done to perfection. His finished product is a perfect match to the color sample he develops for each project.
My wife and I have been extremely satisfied with the projects he has done for us. We would highly recommend Jeff Shultz to any one who wants something personal and different to make an office or room in your home exceptional.

Thank you so much for the great job you did on the walls at my home. I’m very impressed with your work. What a big difference from the off-white painted walls I had in my kitchen. I really like the texture and depth that your four-coat (Sandstone/Lusterstone) process brings. It’s a high quality look that adds so much to the rest of the furnishings. You are a great craftsman and I appreciate your professional manner. Thanks again - I look forward to having you back to do more!

I can't say enough how pleased we are with the Lustertone wall finish that was applied to our study by Jeff Shultz of Distinctive Faux Finishes. I had no idea there were so many finishes available to get exactly the feel we wanted in this room. The final result exceeded my expectations by creating a rich texture and depth that makes this room more warm, comfortable and inviting to use. Jeff's knowledge and professional approach to his work is like hiring an accomplished artist to customize your house. Thanks for a great job and especially your professional guidance to helping us find the right finish.

I cannot tell you how much I LOVE my new bedroom. I just could not live with the wallpaper and border that was in there but had no ideas either. It is very difficult for me to visualize. You visited my home immediately and were prepared with ideas. You matched my cherry wood furniture wonderfully and worked in the green and gold paisley print I had on my bed. You worked quickly and efficiently. You were very professional and reasonably priced. You made special accommodations for me while I was ill in the hospital. Friends came over last night and they just raved over the room, colors and design. I would recommend you to anyone. You are very talented.

My husband and I were recently faced with the challenge of decorating our indoor swimming pool room, which was part of an addition to our home. We had several professionals look at the area, and I looked through dozens of decorating books. However, we couldn’t seem to find the effect we wanted. Then the decorator from Bareville furniture suggested we meet with Jeff Shultz. We looked through samples of his work as well as pictures he provided of other rooms he had painted. By the time Jeff left our home that day, we both felt confident that we had found the right professional for our job!! We love the finished product and it has been so interesting to hear the reactions of our friends and neighbors when they enter the pool area – “Beautiful! I feel like I am outside under the sky! Oh, isn’t it lovely!” As a former teacher, I am thrilled that children also have reacted so positively to the room; they just love the clouds!!
When Jeff first entered our lives, we both viewed him as “our painter.” Wow! That view changed after the first day of work! It was apparent that he was an artist who truly enjoyed what he was doing! It was a joy to watch him work and to share his enthusiasm! His professional dedication is outstanding.
