Michael here from Craine Painting. We have been getting a lot of calls in the last few weeks from different Clients having the same issue.
“Our home is less than 5 years old, and for some reason, we can’t get the marks off the walls. The paint just scrubs right off.”
In each of these instances, it’s easy to identify the issue.
Flat Wall Paint was used before they moved in.
Flat paint is primarily used for ceilings, as it hides imperfections in drywall, and it is the lowest priced ($12-$25per gallon) available.
Flat paint will make ceilings and walls look beautiful and consistent in color. It does have it’s place on walls in very low traffic homes.
However, Anyone with multiple Children or pets will quickly find out that while flat paint looks good, it will quickly get scuffed up, splattered, drooled on and wiped off. It is simply not formulated for withstanding the rigors of a family. It looks good, but it’s not for living in.
Your home is a big investment, you want it to look great for a long time, and so do we.
Before Craine Painting starts your project, We take into consideration room usage, family size, humidity, existing conditions and natural lighting.
All of these factors help us in determining the best paint and sheen for each room in your home.
If your walls aren’t living up to your expectations of durability, maybe it’s time for an update.
