FAQs

What types of paint do you use?

When choosing a shade of paint, no matter how beautiful it is, if the paint itself is average, the final product very often is unacceptable. We have found that economy grades of paint do not perform well overall and a number of coats used on average increase significantly. We always choose high-quality paint lessening the risk for imperfections while increasing the coverage ability. This allows you to admire the beautiful shade chosen versus the imperfections lower paint qualities can leave.

When choosing paint, there are three finishes we look at depending on where the paint is going.

Flat: These finishes hide imperfections well but are the least stain-resistant and are better suited for low-traffic areas.

Eggshell and satin: Use only on fairly smooth, well-prepared surfaces because their shine can accentuate imperfections on the walls. These paints are strong enough to be used in family rooms, kids’ rooms, and hallways, however, some might change sheen when scrubbed.

Semi-gloss: Shinier still, these paints are formulated to stand up to stains. They’re generally the easiest to clean, but some may tend to dull when scrubbed. They’re ideal for kitchen and bathroom walls, windowsills, and other woodwork. Semi-gloss paints require a very smooth, well-prepared surface with few imperfections.
How do I choose the right color and type of paint (Paint Selection)?

We always offer a color consultation when our customer is in the process of paint selection. When choosing colors, most start by choosing a color or two. Choose a shade you love!!! Once this is done, we will select the best paint and sheen for your specific job. Some customers like to do this on there own. This is our suggestion.
Gather Paint Chips
Look at the paint chips the store offers. The lighting of a store ALWAYS affects your view, so take a moment to go outside and view it in natural light. When you are at home or in your office, place the chips on the wall next to the trim and cabinets. Be sure to look at them throughout the day. The natural light changes what the color looks like on the wall. Also turn your lights on and off and reconsider the colors. Do this over the course of several days, eliminating colors that aren’t working.
Color tends to intensify over large areas, so airing on the side of safety, going too light is usually better than too dark in most shades. However, when choosing exterior paint, the opposite is true outdoors. What you see on a paint chip generally looks darker than the color you see on your house because natural light has a tendency to soften the color.
Factor in Your Paint’s Finish
Because flat finish absorbs light, the paint typically looks darker. Glossy reflects light making the paint look a bit brighter. Eggshell and satin finishes are in between flat and glossy and they stand up to scrubbing.
Try Paints Out
Once the choice has been narrowed down, purchasing small cans of paint for testing can help you make that final decision. By painting the sample colors on the wall or a large sheet of paper, you can observe the changes in lighting.
