Color
We can assist you in selecting a color or (palette) of colors with our Certified Color Specialist. Our Color Specialist will meet with you to discuss the feeling you want to evoke in the room (warm, cool, relaxing, energetic, etc.) and the style of your home, furniture and window treatments to prepare a Custom Color Board for you to contemplate. After deciding on your color preferences, we apply color swatches to the walls of each room to ensure you are happy with your final selections. Our Color Specialist guarantees your complete color satisfaction.

Preparation
Preparatory work is performed to the highest of standards, ensuring that paint is applied to an unblemished surface, allowing for maximum paint adhesion and endurance. Once the required surface preparation is achieved, our trained craftsmen apply the primer and finish coat(s) of paint to the surface area, providing protection, color, and sheen.

Finishes
There are a variety of interior paint finishes to choose from as described below.

Flat - A paint with a flat surface that does not reflect light and generally used on ceilings and walls of formal rooms. Flat finishes are usually non-washable and cleaning is not advised.

Matte - A durable paint with a flat, non-glossy finish usually used for walls. Matte finishes can endure light cleaning, but heavy cleaning is not recommended.

Eggshell - A durable paint with a low sheen and gloss reminiscent of an eggshell. Eggshell finishes are normally used on walls, have a slightly higher sheen level than flat, and clean better than flat finishes as they can endure moderate level cleaning.

Satin - A durable paint with a smooth, velvety gloss texture. Satin can be used in high traffic areas because it can hold up to heavy cleaning and light scrubbing, and is most often used for doors, windows, and other trim.

Semi-Gloss - A highly durable paint with a subtle shine that isn't overbearing. Semi-Gloss is usually used for doors, trim, kitchens and bathrooms because it can easily endure heavy cleaning.

Gloss - Gloss and High Gloss are highly durable paints that have a reflective shine reminiscent of plastic. Gloss, though not often prescribed, can be used on cabinets, trim, and furniture.
