Founded in 1985 by brothers Denny Leach and Tom Leach, Artistic Finishes got its start as a contract finisher of wood window parts, kitchen cabinet doors, retail fixtures and flat/lineal components for various original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s). This experience taught them a great deal about cutting-edge wood finishing techniques and technologies, from both the equipment and coatings perspectives. But it wasn’t until 1995 that the company began to evolve into a hardwood molding manufacturer. At this time, the Leach’s uncovered an unmet need in the flooring industry for hardwood moldings that offered the finishes and hardness to match the new generation of prefinished hardwood floors.

In conjunction with their supplier partners, the Leach’s pioneered the development of a new highly durable finish utilizing 100% solids UV curable stains, sealers and clear coats. Utilizing its core competencies, the company developed automated, highly customized processes to apply these coatings in a controlled, consistent manner. Focus on finish clarity, color, grain definition and durability combined to create a premium molding on which the company offered a Lifetime Warranty. This was, and remains, unique in the industry.

Today, Artistic Finishes is proud to be the premiere prefinished hardwood molding and vent manufacturer in the hardwood flooring industry, manufacturing our own Artistic Touch® prefinished hardwood moldings brand, as well as producing product for leading hardwood-flooring manufacturers. We currently service the United States, Canada and Mexico through our authorized distributor network, which in turn services retail dealers.
