What paint sheen is best for hiding wall imperfections?

For older walls with character, such as those in many pre-war Brooklyn buildings, a matte or eggshell finish is your best friend. These sheens have very little light reflection, which masterfully conceals minor bumps, cracks, and unevenness. We always bring large sample boards to your home so you can see how different sheens look in your actual lighting.

Do you move furniture and protect my belongings before painting?

Yes, our service is full-service and designed to be hassle-free for you. We carefully move all furniture to the center of the room and cover it with new, clean plastic sheeting. All floors are protected with rosin paper and drop cloths. We treat your home with the utmost respect and ensure it's spotless when we leave.
