Frequently Asked Questions

Depending on the job, we use either oil-based or water-based paints. If it’s for surfaces that experience a lot of wear and tear, we will use an oil-based paint due to its durability. If it’s for your interior walls and ceiling, a water-based paint will do the trick, and it will dry faster as well.

Yes, we still use oil-based paints, especially on property exteriors, cabinets, doors, trims, and furniture.

With latex-based paints, you can expect shorter turnaround times.
