Pro Painting Tips

How to get the best results in your NYC home.

Quality Over Quantity

Investing in high-quality paint (like Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams) means better coverage and durability, often requiring fewer coats.

Don’t Skip Prep

80% of a good paint job is preparation. Cleaning walls, patching holes, and sanding surfaces ensures a smooth, professional finish.

Check the Light

Paint colors look different in natural light vs. artificial light. Always test a sample patch on your wall before committing.
