Q. What Kind Of Paint Finish Should I Use?
- That’s entirely up to you. Here’s a list of commonly used sheens:
- Flat—paints have a big advantage by being non-reflective. They tend to conceal imperfections and are great for walls that are a bit irregular or battered.
- Eggshell or Satin — paints have a little luster. They bring warmth and depth to a surface. While more stain resistant than flat paints it’s not as good as glossier paints.
- Semi–Gloss — paints are somewhat stain resistant and easy to clean. These paints add a subtle gloss and are not as reflective as gloss or high gloss paints.
- Gloss or High Gloss — paints are tough and the most stain-resistant. They are the easiest to clean but beware they also tend to show imperfections in your walls and woodwork. Make sure your surfaces are in good condition.

We always use premium paint materials for the surfaces and substrates we are painting. Some of these materials come with a lifetime warranty. All team technicians are properly trained in surface preparation and paint application. By using premium products, your new paint job will last longer, your home will be better protected against the elements, and the beauty of professionally applied paint will endure for many years to come. Long term, you save money because you repaint less often.
Q: How Will My Project Be Managed?
A: We have systems and processes in place for each step of your project. Our office, estimators, and production personnel are always available. In addition to that, our crew leaders and project managers are proactive communicators. Each project has one dedicated project manager and crew leader who will be there each step of the way.
