Exterior Paint Quality

Now is the time of year that many homeowners in the Portland area are getting bids to paint the exterior of their home. This can be a difficult process and very time consuming. The hardest part in choosing a painting contractor is trying to compare bids and meet with all of the contractors. Bids are tough to compare as many painters use different brands and grades of paint. Some of the paint companies that serve the Portland market are Sherwin Williams, Miller Paint, Rodda, and Benjamin Moore. Each company makes many different qualities and sheens of paint for exterior painting. Sometimes the highest quality of paint is not the best choice for all homes. The lowest quality paint is almost never the best choice for exterior painting. The type of siding you have and the condition help us determine which product will hold up the best. Sometimes older siding should not have a really thick coating on it as it can cause moisture issues. The staff at Absolute Painting is always available to help you make the right choices and give advice when choosing a paint brand or product to use.
