Venetian plaster is one of the most sought-after specialty finishes in Santa Barbara, bringing authentic Old World texture and depth to Santa Barbara's Spanish Colonial Revival and Mediterranean architecture. 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 the Riviera, Montecito, and downtown Santa Barbara, 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 Santa Barbara 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.
We've painted storefronts, tasting rooms, and restaurants throughout State Street and the Funk Zone — scheduling work around tourist foot traffic and coordinating with neighboring businesses to minimize disruption.
Santa Barbara's Architectural Board of Review enforces strict color palettes for the downtown core and many residential zones. We've navigated ABR approvals on hundreds of projects and know exactly which earth tones and Mediterranean palettes pass review.
Voted Best Painting Contractor in the 2025 Santa Barbara Independent Readers' Poll — recognition earned through consistent quality across thousands of local projects over three decades.
Our track record on Google, Yelp, and Houzz reflects what our clients say: exceptional quality, professional crews, and a company that does exactly what it promises.
We spend as much time preparing surfaces as we do painting them. Proper cleaning, sanding, patching, and priming are what separate a paint job that lasts 10 years from one that peels in two.
We provide a realistic timeline before we start and stick to it. If weather or unforeseen conditions cause a delay, we communicate immediately and adjust the schedule with your approval.
