Venetian plaster is one of the most sought-after specialty finishes in Isla Vista, bringing authentic Old World texture and depth to Isla Vista's coastal residential and multi-family properties. Danis Painting Co. applies genuine Venetian plaster — a mixture of marble dust, lime putty, and natural pigments — using traditional Italian trowel techniques that create the characteristic luminous, polished surface that cannot be replicated with synthetic alternatives. Our artisans have applied Venetian plaster throughout UCSB-adjacent properties, Del Playa Drive, and Isla Vista neighborhoods, transforming feature walls, fireplaces, entryways, and entire rooms into living works of art. Unlike paint, Venetian plaster is a three-dimensional finish that changes appearance with light throughout the day, creating warmth and visual interest that elevates any space. We work closely with Isla Vista homeowners, interior designers, and architects to select the right aggregate size, color, and sheen level for each project.

Why Danis Painting
Over 30 years of trusted craftsmanship — here is what sets us apart for your venetian plaster project.
Student housing takes more physical wear than typical residential properties. We use commercial-grade, washable paints and scuff-resistant finishes that maintain their appearance through heavy daily use.
Major Isla Vista property management companies rely on us for annual unit turns and building maintenance painting. Our volume pricing and rapid scheduling make us the most efficient choice for multi-unit portfolios.
Del Playa Drive's clifftop apartments face direct Pacific Ocean exposure — the most aggressive salt air environment in the UCSB area. We use marine-grade coatings that protect these high-value oceanfront properties.
Our crews protect your floors, furniture, and landscaping with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. At the end of every day we clean up — and at the end of the project your property looks better than when we arrived.
Not sure which color is right? We provide complimentary color consultation with every project, drawing on decades of experience matching paint to architecture, lighting, and neighborhood character.
