Who we are
The founder, Shawn Turner, moved to Carbondale in 1997 with the sole purpose of learning this fine art of painting and wood finishing. Having chose painting as a career in 1989, he always strives to advance his knowledge and technique.
Dedicated to his trade, his every attempt is for perfection. Realizing that not everything can be perfect, he has the knack to make projects appear so. Knowing where to draw the line while driving for perfection is difficult. His unique approach to every project is above the rest.
""I chose my career out of the love to make stuff look pretty. Painting did not chose me.Or did it?"
Welcome to the Specialized Finishes website. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read about us.
We are a residential and commercial painting company that delivers a wide array of protective and decorative
coatings on various substrates.
Quality and reliability are our main focus. From preparation to finishing, every step is critical to producing the required end result.
Every project requires special attention. Variables are not a constant in this craft. The substrates, environmental
conditions, color choice, and where the coating will live all tell us the story.
Details such as caulking width and depth will determine if your caulk shrinks and separates over time. I could go on.
If you would like to know more about the process then please contact me below.
If you are just looking to have a quick paint job done cheaply then we are not a good fit for your project.
House are our largest purchase. We need them to last as long as possible. After the home is built the protection lies on the exterior and also the interior of the structure.
We love all finishing. From repainting your home, faux touch-up repair from a pet or an accident, to machine buffing a dining room table to a fine automotive finish. Color is our challenge along with the Sun. The variables are limited yet the possibilities are endless. Meticulous efficiency is our goal.
Do you have questions about protective coatings for wood surfaces? We have answers. Type of wood? Interior? Exterior? Level of exposure to the elements? Wear and tear traffic use? Does it have previous coatings?
If wood is not initially sealed on all sided before assembly. If this step is skipped the wood will crack, cup, and buckle sooner than you would like.
