Co-Owner, Fox & Feather LLC — Kalamazoo, MI

With more than 25 years at the brush, José Fox has become a go-to craftsman for homeowners, architects, and general contractors across Kalamazoo and the surrounding counties. His expertise spans high-end interior and exterior custom finishes—from buttery-smooth enamel on millwork to resilient, climate-tuned coatings on cedar siding.

What sets José apart is his consultative approach: he meets clients on-site, listens to their vision, and then curates a tailored product-and-color roadmap that balances aesthetics, durability, and budget. Whether he’s creating a hand-brushed, Old-World glaze in a Victorian foyer or applying modern, low-VOC systems on a new build, José thrives on “first-time-ever” challenges that push technique and creativity.

As co-owner of Fox & Feather LLC, he oversees quality control, crew training, and vendor partnerships—ensuring every project, large or small, carries the unmistakable mark of craftsmanship that has become his signature.

Co-Owner & Lead Finisher, Fox & Feather LLC

Since joining Fox & Feather as José Fox’s apprentice more than twelve years ago, Pablo Velasco Paz has built a reputation for his meticulous eye and steady hand. Now a co-owner of the company, he spearheads its custom finishing and trim-paint division, bringing artistry to projects that range from 5,000 sq ft whole-home remodels to boutique accent-wall commissions.

Pablo’s portfolio includes spray-grade lacquer cabinetry, furniture-grade staining, and razor-sharp cut lines on intricate crown and base profiles. Clients value his ability to interface seamlessly with other trades, keeping schedules tight and finish standards uncompromised.

Away from the job site, Pablo draws inspiration from his young family of three and his travels to visit relatives in Mexico—experiences that fuel his commitment to continual learning, whether it’s mastering the latest hybrid coatings or perfecting a traditional hand-rubbed glaze. His blend of time-tested technique and modern innovation ensures Fox & Feather clients receive finishes that are both beautiful and built to last
