What sheen do we normally recommend for interior paint?
If the walls are in high-traffic areas, we recommend egg-shell, because it’s easier to clean things likegrease and hand prints off it.
In some low-traffic areas, you can get away with flat paint. These include commercial/professional settings like offices and residences without children.
What sheen do we normally recommend for exterior paint?
Currently, it seems like flat and satin paint are the most popular for exterior. These are good choices for exterior because they hide imperfections well, and exterior siding tends to be (1) rougher material, and 2) weather worn.
What brands of paint do we use?
The brands of paint we usually use are Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Behr. We have history with these brands and have found them to be reliable products that provide our customers with long-term value in terms of durability, quality and price.
