For more than two decades, Karoll Julian Inc. has brought artistry, precision, and care to some of
the Bay Area’s most beautiful homes. What began as a small, hands-on painting company h
as grown into a trusted name in fine finishes, color restoration, and long-term paint-and-stain maintenance for luxury estates across Marin and San Francisco.
Our Story
Founded 23 years ago by Karoll Hirn and Julian Accuardi, the company was built on equal par
ts artistry and reliability.
Karoll’s training in France under a master decorative finisher refined her eye for detail and her ability to replicate exotic woods, marble, and patina.
Julian’s background in project management and estate maintenance brought structure, organization, and genuine client care.
Together, they built a studio where traditional craftsmanship meets modern professionalism — a partnership grounded in respect for both beauty and durability.
What Sets Us Apart
At Karoll Julian Inc., painting is more than a trade — it’s a craft.
Our team focuses on longevity and preservation, using only premium materials and time-tested techniques to create finishes that stand up to years of light, weather, and life.
From Venetian plaster and gilding to delicate wood-grain and marble effects, every surface receives patient, meticulous attention.
It’s this standard of excellence that has made us a five-time Best of Marin finalist in Marin Magazin
e and a trusted partner to homeowners, designers, and estate managers alike.
