For painting your home, the type of paint you should use depends on the surface and the room's needs. For interior walls, satin or eggshell finishes are great choices for living areas because they provide a smooth, subtle sheen and are easy to clean. In high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms, semi-gloss or satin finishes work well because they resist moisture and are more durable. For exterior surfaces, you’ll want a high-quality acrylic latex paint, as it provides excellent durability, resists fading from the sun, and offers protection against the elements. Always consider factors like durability, washability, and the specific conditions of the room or area when choosing the right paint.

Paint peeling occurs when the paint is unable to adhere to the surface of the wall correctly. There are numerous factors as to why your paint may not be adhering to the wall such as poor surface preparation, moisture exposure, and high exposure to sunlight. Find out more about the causes of paint peeling and solutions to the problem below.

Absolutely! We are asked this question a lot. Many people “inherit” their home’s paint colors when they move in. Paint companies now have the technology to take a very small sample (a chip) of paint and color-match it. Paint companies can also match each other’s colors. For example, if you prefer to use Sherwin Williams paint, but you love the existing Benjamin Moore colors in your home, it’s not a problem. Sherwin Williams can match Valspar colors and vice versa.

Projects vary depending on its size and scope of work. The average interior house painting project takes about one to two weeks, while the typical exterior house painting project may take three to four weeks.
