Sheen refers to the glossiness of a paint finish. There are different levels of glossiness and paint manufacturers have categorized by different names usually from lowest to highest ( i.e. from no sheen to high gloss). Below are the types of sheen paints based on their reflective degrees:

• Flat finish
• Eggshell finish
• Satin finish
• Semi gloss finish
• High gloss finish

Flat and lower sheen paints provides a more soft and uniformed look to the surface. They offer light reflection and don’t need extra effort for surface preparation (like sanding, texturing or patching) prior to painting. Unlike higher sheen paints, low sheen paints are easy to apply and don’t show “lap marks” after finish.

They are not the right fit for the areas that are exposed to high humidity levels like bathrooms as they’re less resistant to moisture.

Sheen paints have better stain resistance, hence they’re the best choice for areas that are frequently exposed to high humidity levels.

They’ve higher scuff and wear resistance than lower sheen paints, so they can be ideals for surfaces that are scrubbed, handled or washed frequently like bathrooms.

Sheen paints are not as effective on imperfect surfaces. It will show all imprecations on the surfaces you’re painting. Also it is harder to touch up as they highlight the slightly raised touched up surface of the film. This is not a good choice for an old house since it will need to be de-glossed prior to repainting.

Latex paints are the oil based paints which are good for interior painting and exterior painting jobs. The reason is that they are more environmentally friendly than oil based paints. 

On drying, the oil based paints usually dries usually forms a hard and brittle film while the finish in the latex primers lasts over the years. Latex paints are highly durable and their surfaces never contract or expand due to weather conditions.

The only advantage of using oil paints is that it provides a smoother look than latex paint and also didn’t highlight the brush marks on the surface like latex.

Elastomeric Waterproofing System is a method of exterior painting which is usually applied on exterior stucco to remove the hairline cracks from the surface. Usually very thick coating of elastomeric are applied to the affected surfaces so it can easily seal up the cracked surface. Elastomeric have a special capability to span hairline cracks permanently.

All paints, solvents and varnishes contains different types of chemicals, VOC or volatile organic compounds which may be dangerous for human health. Hence, one should take great care and precautions while using VOC’s based products as exposure to VOCs can create health complications like dizziness, eye irritation, and respiratory issues or can even trigger asthma attacks.  

To lower the risk of health problems using VOC paints, various paint manufactures now started using Low VOC paint alternatives. According to the EPA guidelines, latex paints containing below 250g/L VOC are qualified as Low VOC. For oil paint the amount of VOC is 380 g/L prescribed by the EPA.  

Ideally it is impossible to make the No VOC paint but the No VOC labeled paints available in the market actually contact very less amount of VOCs (usually 2-5g/L)

The estimate of a painting project is determined manually considering the amount of paint to be used, quality of paint, areas for painting etc. The cost is determined by attention to detail and level of thoroughness.

You can easily identify if your paint is oil or latex using detergent and warm water. The method is quite simple: first you need to scrub a small area using warm water and a solution containing detergent. Then take a cotton ball, soak it in alcohol and rub it over the scrubbed area. If your paint does not come off, it’s an oil based paint but if comes off then it is latex.

Paint stickiness is an adhesion problem which appears on the paint when two freshly painted surfaces are pressed against each other. Such issues are usually seen between a door and a frame. 

To prevent paint from blocking wax could be quite effective. Painters place the wax paper between the door jamb and the door which creates a barrier between the two surfaces. You need to wait for a couple of hours to get the best outcome.

Yes, we provide touch-up paints after our job is completed. We properly label the leftover paint for our clients and keep them safe for future repaints.

We simply stop the work when it rains and continue with the same after it dries up

Usually oil based paints took more time to dry than Acrylic i.e. latex paints. For latex paints, 2 hours is sufficient to dry while oil paint may take approx 16-20 hours to become completely dry.

It depends on the climate and environment of a place where you live. But, for any type of painting project, it is recommended to paint the shady sides first. Also painting on exposed sunlight must be avoided by the painter. 

Paint is always applied best when there has been low humidity and little rain. For exterior painting, neither too low nor too high temperature will work as the paint won’t properly adhere to the siding. 

The preparation process for both interior and exterior painting is almost same. But it needs to be done attentively because your paint isn’t going to last very long if your previous painting job was done with bad preparation.

In your exterior preparation, first wash all areas of your home, remove dirt from the areas, fix damages (if any). After this, apply a good primer to seal and protect and now your surface is ready for painting.  

We make this process as detailed as possible for every client. This is very crucial in the beginning.

Generally your exteriors need to be painted after every 5-10 years. Quality painting on interior and exterior lasts for at least 5 years. Different types of paints last for different time periods. Wood paints loosen sooner than stucco because the wood paints expands and contracts more with the changing temperature. 

It is advised to avoid putting on exterior painting until the house is badly peeling. Also you should ensure that your surface preparation is done thoroughly so that it would be easy for the painter to apply the new coats.

There are several factors that should be considered when hiring the right contractor for your home painting project. At the initial stage, you should perform the following basic checks:

• Contractor license
• Contractor insurance
• Experience of your contactor in this industry
• Previous work sample
• Ask queries and raise questions on their strategies to check if they are capable of completing work.

You can maintain your exterior painting by walking around the exterior of your home on a regular basis. In your walkthrough, look for factors like cracks, chalking, water penetration and dry rot which negatively affects the painted surface. If possible, you should pressure wash your entire home once in a year to remove the accumulation of surface dust and impurities.

Maintaining your interior is quite a tedious process as they get dirty in many situations.  To wash the dirt and stains from the interiors always clean the surface using a mild detergent and a soft cloth.bAlso avoid use of alkaline cleaners to remove the dirt as such cleaners can dull the sheen of oil based paints.
