Make Sure Your Painter Uses High Quality Paint
High quality paints cost a little more, but generally have much better coverage and therefore require fewer coats of paint. In the end you will save money and be happier with the results. Some quality brands to consider include: Benjamin Moore Paints®, Behr Premium Plus Paint®, Valspar American Tradition Paint®, Dunn-Edwards Paints®, Pratt and Lambert Paint®, Dutch Boy®, Glidden® and Sherwin-Williams Paint®.

Select the Right Color and Finish to Achieve the Desired Look
There are a few key factors when selecting paint. Latex paint works well for both interior and exterior painting. Oil-based is best for outdoor projects, especially in cold climates. Color boils down to personal preference. Be sure to test colors on a small area of the room because lighting may alter the color’s appearance, and you’ll get a better sense for whether color achieves the desired look and feel. Many paint companies offer small, affordable samples to help you determine how the paint will translate in your home. The final thing to consider is finish. Flat paints are appropriate for ceilings, living areas and bedrooms, while glossier paints are generally recommended for bathrooms and kitchens because of their durability.
