Innovating Custom Finishes: Robert Chickey Shares His Journey on the Woodpreneur Podcast

When passion meets innovation, remarkable things happen. That’s exactly what listeners discovered when Robert Chickey, founder of Bespoke Finish, sat down with Steve Larosiliere on the Woodpreneur Podcast. Their conversation revealed how one man’s vision is transforming the finishing industry.

A Journey Born from Necessity

After dedicating two decades to the painting industry, primarily working with historical woodwork, Chickey identified a crucial gap in the market. The challenge? Blending new additions with older woodwork using existing products simply wasn’t delivering the results his discerning clients demanded. It was this realization that led to the birth of Bespoke Finish in 2016, though the expertise behind it spans more than three decades.

The Bespoke Difference

What sets Bespoke Finish apart isn’t just their finishing techniques – it’s their problem-solving approach. When vendors struggle with specific colors, Chickey and his team step in with custom formulas and processes that bring designers’ and architects’ visions to life. For clients seeking extraordinary results, their on-site finishing services deliver unparalleled quality.

“We make the formula and the process for vendors who can’t figure out a certain color so that they can do what the designer or architect wants,” Chickey explained during the podcast. “And for those clients that want a level of extraordinary that is not common, we provide on-site finishing services.”

Revolutionary Innovation: Liquid Metal Spray

Among Bespoke Finish’s groundbreaking offerings is their Liquid Metal Spray system. This innovative solution allows for metal finishes to be sprayed onto various surfaces, creating stunning results that can withstand outdoor conditions. Cost-effective and versatile, this technology is challenging traditional perceptions of what’s possible in metal finishing.

The Future of Finishing

As the finishing industry evolves, Bespoke Finish stands at the forefront of innovation. While the company currently focuses on expanding their Liquid Metal Spray line, plans are already in motion for future developments, including a custom color line that promises to push boundaries even further.

Chickey’s vision extends beyond just creating beautiful finishes. He’s dedicated to educating clients about the possibilities that exist beyond conventional solutions, helping them understand the true potential of clarity and accentuation in finishing work.

A Legacy in the Making

The conversation with Steve Larosiliere revealed more than just technical expertise – it showcased how innovation, determination, and a commitment to excellence can transform an industry. Bespoke Finish isn’t just providing finishing services; they’re revolutionizing how people think about and approach custom finishing solutions.
