Joseph Dutra Finishes is a local business formed in 1979 to provide quality paint finishes to the Monterey Peninsula. While working on historical projects and older homes, Joe Dutra was disappointed to learn that performance standards no longer applied to these properties. Studying old world finishes and techniques at The Day Studios in San Francisco and through many travels, Joe fell in love with the hand-brushed finish and proper preparation that these homes deserved. Unwilling to compromise on quality Joe Dutra Finishes use only the best products, which sometimes require us to order from around the globe. Our clients demand the best and it is where we are most comfortable, "there is nothing more expensive than cheap paint and unskilled craftsmen".
