Right Paints for Your Exterior House Painting Estimate in Highland Park

Finding the right paints for your exterior house painting estimate in Highland Park will make a big difference in your overall performance in the long run.

This fattens your bottom line when it comes to turning a profit. Especially if you hire painters or sub-contractors to do most of the work.

When it comes to a customer’s home, they usually want first class paint. The paint currently use for walls is not only a first class product but it also offers the least amount of work to make the job look good.

The last thing is to add a third coat and the wall still shows lap lines. It also took time to find a new ceiling paint to replace another brand I was happy with. This new product is not a fancy name brand, but it is not cheap grade paint either.

One thing about this new ceiling paint is that it dries fast and can be re-coated in just one hour. If you are doing just ceilings, you can get in and out of a home fast and make MORE money in LESS time. It takes time to find the right paint products that only you the painter can be happy with. Once I find a paint I like, I stay with it as long as it is around.

Enamel paints and primers for woodwork and trim are important also. Finding a good satin finish paint in latex or alkyd that is easy to work with and looks great when finished is a big plus. When I trim outdoors, interior and exterior, I want a product that levels out good and that does not tack up on brush strokes.

But again, you need to find products that you personally like using. Just like paint brushes and roller covers, everyone has their own preferences.
