Residential Painters Tip: Thin will always be in
Our Residential Painters Would Like To Ask...
Do you feel the urge to fling a thick coat of paint at once so you do not have to do another coat? SPPI expert painters would recommend for you to ditch the idea.

No To Mildews
Moisture and shade increase the chance of mold and mildew. SPPI exterior painters would never suggest for you to paint over it, because it will not do the trick.

Interior Painters Tip: Let the light be your guide
Lights and Shadows
Another factor to consider when choosing your paint color according to our interior painters: LIGHT SOURCE. Your lighting differs in every room. This will definitely affect how the eye sees the color.

Only then should you make a decision.
