Interior Guide
Painting inside your home isn’t just about color—it’s about creating a space that feels right. Our Interior Guide breaks down what you need to know before making your first move.
Walls, ceilings, and trim all require different types of paint. If you’ve ever wondered why some walls look smooth while others show every brushstroke, the answer usually comes down to surface preparation and paint selection. The guide explains how to avoid common issues like streaking, roller marks, and uneven coverage.
Lighting also plays a big role. A color that looks perfect in the store might not work in your home. Natural light, artificial lighting, and even the direction your windows face can change how paint appears. Our guide gives practical tips on how to test colors before committing.
Durability matters, too. In high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens, scuff-resistant paints hold up better over time. Our guide explains which finishes work best for different rooms so you won’t have to repaint sooner than expected.
Exterior Guide
Northern Arizona’s climate can be tough on home exteriors. Hot summers, occasional monsoons, and dry air all affect how paint holds up over time. Our Exterior Guide helps homeowners understand what it takes to keep their homes looking great in these conditions.
Preparation is the key to a lasting paint job. Dirt, old peeling paint, and sun damage need to be addressed before applying fresh coats. Our guide outlines the proper way to clean and prep different surfaces, whether your home is stucco, wood, or brick.
Choosing the right paint is just as important. The intense Arizona sun can cause colors to fade faster, so selecting UV-resistant paints can make a big difference. Lighter shades also help reflect heat, which can improve energy efficiency. Our guide covers the best exterior paint choices for durability and long-lasting curb appeal.
Weather timing is another major factor. Painting in extreme heat or right before a rainstorm can cause issues like blistering and poor adhesion. Our guide explains the best times of year for painting in Northern Arizona so you can plan your project at the right moment.
