We do seal and color natural adobe floors or walls, we can give a new life to worn, outdated, or damaged tile or concrete with colored faux finishes and can quickly and expertly acid stain or specialty surface color any new concrete slab (indoor or out) (call us before you finish the walls for best results on the floors). We also pay close attention to our footprint, this means that we try our best to reduce our harmful effects on the planet and its resources. We are eco-conscious and almost all of our materials are (and certainly can be) water based and renewable. We have a dedication to natural ways of living and support and work with you on choices to build in an environmentally friendly way. The possibilities are endless - choose wisely, choose Solid Colors.

Decorative Painting Options







There is always one more way to add flare and attention to detail in your home spaces. Solid colors employs artists who are highly trained and can offer you the ability to express an idea more completely through decorative accents. Shown above are two similar floral motifs which stretch accent walls and entryways giving the home an inviting touch. Inquire about themes for your home. Everything from provincial floral sprays and borders to traditional stripes to Southwestern geometrics or intricate Indian and Asian design and even trompe l'oeil realism. These examples painted by artist Caitlin Legere. Click the link to her personal fine art site above. Existing mural repair and touch-up also available by Solid Colors' experts.
