Q: What is the best paint finish for painted shutters?

• <div><p>While flat and satin finishes are ideal for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choose-right-finish-your-front-door.htm">garage or front doors</a>, siding, and trim, gloss and semi-gloss are more common on shutters. That&rsquo;s because these types of finishes highlight this proportionally smaller exterior home feature, adding both contrast and layers of texture to the overall facade. Other types of finishes aren&rsquo;t off limits, but you&rsquo;ll have more success by choosing one that provides a nice sheen. </p></div>

Q: How often should interior painted surfaces be refreshed?

• <div><p>Every 5-7 years, or more frequently in high-traffic areas showing wear.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint are needed?

• <div><p>You'll need at least two coats of paint when painting your stair railings, despite some manufacturers' claims of single-coat coverage. This is necessary mostly because there are often many corners and details that make it difficult to cover all surfaces evenly with a single coat. Adding a second coat evens out the finish and provides added durability. </p></div>

Q: Can I use different paint finishes in one room?

• <div><p>Using different finishes within a room is the norm. For example, you might use eggshell on the walls, semi-gloss on the trim and doors, and flat on the ceiling. This creates contrast and highlights architectural details while allowing for better durability in high-touch areas. Just make sure to use a trim color that complements your walls.</p></div>

Q: Should you paint a front door with a brush or a roller?

• <div><p>This depends on the size and design of your door. If your door is on the smaller side and features some unique design elements, go with a brush to ensure you get in those hard-to-reach crevices without painting outside the lines. If you&rsquo;re painting a large door, like a double door or garage door, and the panels are flat, go with a roller to get the job done quickly. </p></div>

Derek painted the entire main floor of the residence which is 2150 ft.² with ceilings in access of 25 feet in height. His ability to do the job is exceptional, an application and cleanup. He?s the only painter I?ve used that I didn?t have to ask him to caulk corners of walls before he painted...
