Over the past few years, my husband and I have been thinking of ways to update our oversized brick fireplace. It measures 15' wide x 17' high. Our dream was to have a solid piece of marble or other stone installed, but of course we knew that would be impossible. We researched many options, but nothing seemed right for what we hoped for.
Then one day, while researching Fireplace idea's on Houzz, I came across Venetian Plaster that was applied to look just like a solid slab of marble!! We were so excited and started looking on Yelp for a reputable Venetian Artist in the Sacramento area.
It didn't take long to find George Tudor. I contacted him early on as we still had to order our oversized linear fireplace, as well as have a false wall installed over the existing brick and wood fireplace. He was pleasant and responsive from the moment I contacted him. Over the next 6 to 8 months, George and we worked together to figure out the exact design and result that we both wanted. He made two trips to our home to discuss and to bring us samples that he made especially for our design.
Finally, our fireplace was delivered, the false wall was installed and George started his artistry. He along with his brother, John, worked tirelessly for two weeks as this was an excruciatingly large fireplace. They were both very diligent and pleasant. They were here on time and did an exceptional job!!! Our friends can't believe it's not a real slab of Marble!
We can't say enough about the professionalism, kindness, and work ethic that George and John displayed during the two weeks.
We would highly recommend them for any job, large or small as they are eager to please and fair on price.
Thank you, George and John, for making what seemed to be an impossible dream come true!!!
Sincerely,
