Exterior
What are the differences in sheens and how do they wear differently?
- Flat – This has a dull finish with low durability. It is not washable, and stains easily. Flat finish is primarily used for interior ceilings.
- Matte – This has a dull finish and has medium to low durability. Matte finish can be used on interior walls and ceilings.
- Eggshell – This has some sheen that makes it washable. This is the paint finish that we recommend most people use for interior walls.
- Satin – This has a shinier appearance that gives it better protection from the elements, is durable and washable. This is the sheen we recommend for all of our exterior paint jobs.
- Semi-gloss – This has a reflective appearance, is easy to clean, and is resistant to dirt and stains. This is recommended for interior trim, doors, bathroom and kitchen walls.
- Gloss – This is very shiny and is highly durable. This can be used on cabinets and interior trim.
Do you provide paint samples?
We do not provide paint samples; however, you may visit a Sherwin-Williams, Guirys, or Lowes store to purchase a sample.
Will you help with color selection?
We are always happy to share our opinion; however, you know what you like best so we prefer to leave that decision up to you.
How do I pick my paint color?
If you need ideas, you can browse colors online at Sherwin-Williams or visit a local store to see all of your options. We can also have any color matched so your options are limitless.
What kind of paint do you use?
We use high-quality paint, typically from Sherwin-Williams, Guirys, or Lowes.
Using high quality paint means the finished job will look better and last longer. High quality exterior paint has better UV protection and will hold up better to the rain, snow, and sleet. Binders in the paint makes it more resistant to cracking, blistering and peeling. These binders also mean the paint looks more saturated so you won’t see brush / roller strokes. High-quality interior paint is more stain resistant and easier to clean, plus added mildewcides help to keep mildew in check.
Occasionally we will recommend using a different brand to keep your project consistent with the original paint. We can also get any brand of paint depending on homeowner’s preference.
