Yes, priming is essential for achieving a high-quality, long-lasting finish. It ensures proper adhesion, especially when applying water-based paint over oil-based surfaces, which helps prevent peeling. Primers also block stains, ensuring a pristine appearance by keeping discolorations from bleeding through. Additionally, they enhance color strength, resist sun fade, and maintain vibrancy while sealing raw materials to prevent pigment absorption.

Always. A tidy work environment is essential for a successful project.

Paint sheens vary in reflectiveness and durability. The flatter the sheen, the more porous and harder it is to clean, while shinier sheens are smoother and easier to maintain. Here’s a quick guide:

• Flat/Matte: Least reflective, great at hiding imperfections.
• Velvet: Slightly more reflective, with a soft finish.
• Eggshell: Low sheen, soft and washable.
• Satin: Smooth, slightly shiny, ideal for high-traffic areas.
• Lo-Sheen: Durable with slight reflectiveness.
• Semi-Gloss: Noticeably shiny, easy to clean, perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.
• Gloss: Highly reflective, durable, great for trim and doors.

  We’ll recommend the best sheen based on your space and needs!
