Interior Painting

We like to put ourselves in your shoes. What would I want in my home? Here are a few things that would be important to me and therefore important in every job. First of all masking is a big deal! We want to make sure your floors and furniture are thoroughly covered so that it looks just like it did before we got there. Straight lines! We are serious about straight lines, especially where a darker color wall meets lighter color trim. We strive to provide the highest quality service using only the highest quality materials. It is our goal to ensure your satisfaction by being knowledgeable in our field, courteous, and hassle free!

Painting Stained Wood

We are experts at transforming your cabinets or paneling from stained wood to a beautiful painted surface. This is a multi-step process that when done properly will ensure a long lasting finish. We start by first thoroughly masking the entire area to be painted. The wood is then lightly sanded and cleaned. Next the seams are caulked to fill gaps that will become visible once painted. After the caulking has dried, two coats of top quality primer are applied. Lastly, two coats of oil enamel are then applied. All four coats are sprayed instead of brushed to give wood a smooth, professional finish.

Choosing Sheen

When choosing an interior paint sheen there are several factors that can help determine which to use. Walls are most commonly painted with a flat paint, which is has the least sheen. Flat paint touches up very well, hides wall imperfections better and is less affected by differences in lighting. In contrast, higher sheen paints such as satin and semi-gloss do not touch up well, will accentuate imperfections and will reflect light causing the color to appear different in different lighting. However, higher sheen paints are washable and will resist moisture better. These properties make a satin a good choice for high traffic areas such as hallways and stairways or high moisture areas such as bathrooms.

Another factor to consider is price. Higher sheens will cost slightly more due to material costs and higher degree of difficulty in application.

Some clients with small children or pets may prefer a satin for cleanability. Others may prefer a flat for reasons of appeal. Ultimately it is a matter of personal preference and functionality.
