Gene Firn Custom Painting, DIY Painting Instructors and Faux Tutors

A special message from Gene Firn, Ann Arbor’s housepainter/educator

How do you tell your best friends that they need to do something about that color in the living room?

You can always try the indirect approach. For example: “Didn’t your walls used to be white?”

But more often than not, you’ll never say anything. And neither will your friends about your walls. You’re on your own. That’s where I come in.

I offer free estimates, plus I work closely with my daughter, Ellen Firn, who is an interior designer and also a member of BNI. Together or separately we will help meet your decorating needs.

I have been a resident of Ann Arbor since 1971. I have been in the painting business for over 30 years. When you hire my company, you get me personally.

    I have a reputation for being honest and for doing high-quality work at a fair price. I take pride in what I do for you and will keep you abreast of my progress so you don’t get any surprises. I will treat your home as I would if I were your guest.

My Custom Painting services include

  • interior and exterior painting
  • decks
  • wall paper removal
  • dry wall repair
  • architectural coatings such as Lustertone, which come in a variety of colors and textures and give a marble appearance
  • faux finishing, combining color on color with various techniques—color washing, ragging, sponging, and others—to create a beautiful and unique wall or room.
