Testimonials
This letter is my personal recommendation for working with Chris Stefano of CSV. Our professional work experience has been for almost 25 years. His talent shines throughout every project we have work on. His ability with color, texture with his artisan plaster product and to achieve what we want is amazing!
Besides being a joy to work with, Chris is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. I highly recommend Chris for any artistic plaster application. He is a team player and would be a great asset to any project small or large.
Shirley Munoz-Henderson CID/IIDA Interior Designer
Every time Chris finishes another wall in my house he breathes new life into the room. As an artisan, he has honed his craft over many years - both in Italy and stateside - and he has an uncanny sixth sense of color awareness.
At the same time, Chris continues to evolve his techniques - not only with the goal of offering a wider range of finishes, but to meet a new standard of environmental responsibility without sacrificing aesthetics. On top of all that, he's a joy to work with!
