About the Studio

Meet Aguinaldo Santos.

Aguinaldo Santos is an architect, artist, and remodeling professional based in Charlotte, NC. Originally trained in Architecture and Urbanism in Brazil, he combines design expertise with years of hands-on experience in residential and commercial painting, remodeling, wallpaper installation, and finish work.

In addition to his construction background, he has been selected for public art installations throughout Charlotte for six consecutive years, bringing a unique attention to detail, color, craftsmanship, and design to every project.

His approach is simple: treat every home like a work of art.

Aguinaldo Santos, founder
Philosophy

Where craftsmanship meets creativity.

An architect sees a wall as a surface and a structure at the same time. An artist sees it as a canvas. A craftsman sees it as something to be cared for, sanded, primed, and finished by hand. Santos brings all three to your home.

We treat painting and remodeling as design work — measured, considered, and finished with intent. Color choices grounded in the way light moves through your space. Finishes that feel as good as they look. Trim work that lines up the way it should.
