“Carlos and his team are the most detailed painters I have worked with in over 30 years. I have never had a final walkthrough without one thing to be fixed — until working with Carlos and Hillcrest.”

Accent & Custom Walls
The wall everyone asks about when they walk in — designed, built, and painted by our own team. No kits, no shortcuts.
What we do
Built by our crew, not assembled from a kit
Every accent wall we make is designed for the room it's in: the layout is drawn to your wall, the millwork is cut and installed by our own carpenters and painters, and the finish is painted as one complete piece of work.
Board and batten in an entry, wainscoting in a dining room, a paneled stairwell in a two-story foyer — these are the projects that change how a home feels, and they're some of our favorite work to do.
- Board and batten, wainscoting, and paneled walls
- Two-story entries and stairwell walls
- Layout designed to your exact wall — no prefabricated kits
- Millwork installed by our own crew
- Caulked, filled, sanded, and painted as one finished piece
- Color help and free samples before we start
- Works beautifully with a full room repaint
- Final walkthrough — it's not done until you'd recommend us
How it works
Simple from start to finish.

We walk your project together and you get a clear, honest price. No pressure.
2 · Color help
Free Sherwin-Williams samples by mail, and every approved proposal includes an in-person color consultation.

4 · Final walkthrough
We walk every inch with you at the end. It's not done until you'd recommend us.
Products we trust
The right product for the surface.
Custom walls are finished with the same premium Sherwin-Williams products we use across your home — Emerald Urethane or ProClassic on the millwork for a hard, smooth, durable finish that stands up to daily life.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers before we start.
Do you help with the design?
Yes. At the consultation we'll look at your wall together, talk through board-and-batten, wainscoting, and panel layouts, and design the pattern to fit your room — then you get a clear, honest price for exactly that design.
How long does an accent wall take?
It depends on the design and the size of the wall. We'll give you a realistic schedule with your proposal, and most single-wall projects are completed within a few days.
Can you match our existing trim and paint?
Yes — matching the millwork profile and finish to what your home already has is part of doing it right. Bring us photos or show us in person at the consultation.

“We had the best experience with the Hillcrest Company installing wallpaper in our powder room. Misael was meticulous, respectful of our home, and the finished result is flawless.”
