What kind of paint do you use and why?

Depending on the job, we use either oil-based or water-based paints. If it's for surfaces that experience a lot of wear and tear, we will use an oil-based paint due to its durability. If it's for your interior walls and ceiling, a water-based paint will do the trick because it costs less and it will dry much faster.

Do you still use oil-based paints? What is the primary difference between oil- and latex-based paints? What are the benefits of each?

Yes, we still use oil-based paints, especially on property exteriors, cabinets, doors, trims, and furniture. The primary differences between oil- and latex-based paints are drying time and durability. With oil-based paints, you can enjoy increased damage resistance and a smoother finish. With latex-based paints, you can expect shorter turnaround times and lower cost.

What types of environmentally friendly options do you offer?

We offer eco-friendly, non-toxic paint options to complete your painting project. Plus, we make use of leftover paints for moldings and trims and dispose of everything the right way.

How many coats of paint are included in the quote?

The number of coats required has everything to do with what type of surface we are painting over. For instance, new drywall usually requires 1 coat of PVA primer plus two coats of paint whereas a repaint using the same color can often produce great results with one good coat. If we're painting dark on light, 2 coats of paint are included. If we're painting light on dark, up to 4 coats are included so that we can achieve the color you want.

How long does a new paint job typically last?

Our top-quality paint jobs will typically last you for 7-10 years depending upon the product use choose for the job. Still, if you want to maintain their pristine condition, we recommend scheduling paint touch-ups every 3 to 5 years.
