Our Story
Our journey began in 1999 as a painting company. However, the founder’s artistic passion and love of architectural detail and work with plaster mouldings in his home country led us into luxury plaster moulding and ceiling design. From Barrie to Hamilton, GTA homeowners and renovation companies trust us to bridge the gap between traditional mouldings and modern design. Today, AM Group Studio manufactures and installs custom crown mouldings, fireplace mantels, intricate ceiling designs, and more. We bring elegance and spark into homes as well as preserve architectural legacies through specialized restorations.
Drawing on generations of expertise, we’re rooted in history, proud to be a family-owned business with 25+ years of successful dedication to our craft. We bring a commitment to customer happiness and a reputation for dependability to every project. It’s these qualities that have earned us the honour of multiple HomeStars awards. Unlike our competitors, we go the extra mile, offering full-service plaster moulding design and customization services. This is where our artistic abilities are truly unlimited.

We’ve made our mark as artisans, adding lasting elegance to homes from Hamilton to Barrie. We make and uphold a promise that every project will be unique to you and your home.

Meet Sam
Sam (Sorush) Misaghi is a resilient and devoted craftsman who helped build AM Group Studio from the ground up. He began his career in Iran, honing his skills while developing a thriving business installing decorative plaster mouldings and ceiling designs. Sam and his family immigrated to Canada in 1995, bringing his years of hands-on experience and unwavering commitment to honest work to the GTA. It wasn’t long after that he decided to start Golden Painting and Plaster Moulding with the help and support of his children.
Through years of hard work, Sam established and expanded his business. He moved into creating custom plaster mouldings and cast-stone fireplace mantels, a craft he has always cherished. The business has since grown into the company we all now know and love, AM Group Studio. Sam and his skilled team of designers, craftspeople, and installers continue to build upon the company’s success, tackling every project with passion and integrity. It’s because of Sam’s devotion that AM Group Studio has become a dependable partner for homeowners and builders alike. Sam shares and lives by the sentiment that life is beautiful and perseveres, highlighting the enduring nature of himself and the AM Group Studio team.
Our Values
AM Group Studio’s values are rooted in tradition, resilience, and family. Every project receives the same care and attentiveness that we would give our own home. Preserving architectural heritage is one of our core commitments. For homeowners with century-old houses, restoring original decorative plasterwork can be tricky, as it isn’t always found in modern-day catalogs. Fortunately, our team has a love for recreating these classic elements through specialized restorations. These subtle touches help us preserve your home’s character while updating its overall style and appearance.
Another one of our core values is practical craftsmanship. Through value engineering, we’re able to help protect your investment without compromising your wants or needs. For example, we may suggest refacing an existing brick fireplace rather than replacing it entirely, or repurposing original fireplace doors and components to save on costs. Every day we work towards a common goal of providing custom care, honest guidance, and flawless results. By upholding our values, we’re able to bring lasting beauty and happiness to every home and family we encounter.
