Premium Benjamin Moore Paints

Clients routinely inquire why painters insist on purchasing paint for their job, and are not always so transparent about what ends up on your home. The truth is if given the choice a consumer wants the best product on their home, especially the exterior. The quality of materials makes a huge difference on the life of the paint job:

Know What Quality You Are Getting-Buy Your Own Paint.

The expense and time spent on an exterior paint project can and does take the consumer several weeks even months. The process can start with getting bids on the labor, which includes finding reputable painters, figuring out the color scheme, submitting your colors to your HOA, and getting the project scheduled and on the books.

Something to consider making the process less daunting is by hiring a designer or certified Color Consultant to help you see the space with a different perspective. By making some changes, including updating the colors can give you that jumping off point needed to see a new plan forming. As a Color Consultant myself and owner of a paint and flooring store, I also specify the right products needed for the job. This includes specifying sheens/finishes for the paints but also flooring types when I am inside the home on an in-home consultation. Paint and Flooring Store Johns Creek & Cumming I also strive to get my clients the best paint contractor to do their work based on matching up the personalities, time-frame, and budget. My goal is to guide my clients to make the process easier and get the best possible outcome. As I often tell my clients, “it’s painted in my head before I leave”.

The weather, sampling colors, getting in a contractor’s schedule all take time, you want this process to ensure you at least a 7–10 years life on this project, so one way to help stretch the life of your paint job is to get the right product on the your home. How to ensure this is to BUY YOUR OWN PAINT! We will provide contractor pricing on larger projects, just ask your local paint store for their policies.
