Interior and Exterior Painting and Repairs – 978-218-6006
Preparation is key to ensure the paint will last. This includes scraping, repairing, washing and priming. It is also important to pick a high quality, low VOC paint and apply it at the right temperature as specified by the manufacturer.
Although it would be faster to use self priming paint, we prefer to prime as a separate step since it ensures a better adherence of the final coat.
What’s the best finish for your house? High Gloss or Flat?
Typically the decision is based on the type of surface you are painting and the location. Gloss finishes tend to show the imperfections on the surface whereas Flat paint hides them.
Also consider the environment. If it’s an interior surface that needs to be washed often, like a bathroom or kitchen, the High Gloss or Semi Gloss is a good choice.
For other interior rooms, Flat or Egg Shell is best.
For exterior surfaces Flat is recommended for the sides, especially for older homes with imperfect surfaces, with Semi Gloss for the trim.
We don’t spray paint for 2 reasons
So although some companies spray paint because it might be faster, we don’t because we think brush and rollers result in a longer lasting paint job, and it is better for you, your neighbors and our painters.
