Tami helped us select a lovely color palette for the inside of our home and her team worked harmoniously to make the vision become a background that we enjoy every day. We called on Maurer Painting subsequently for exterior painting, deck refinishing, and to re-do the trim after we replaced our windows. It's who we call for painting." - Virginia McGowan and Mike Goss "It is my pleasure to recommend Tami Maurer as an interior or exterior painting contractor. I have worked with Tami and her crew over the past few years, and have found Tami to be honest, ethical and good to her word. She always delivered great service and excellent workmanship at a very reasonable price. Tami also has impressive people skills and helped my client's progress through the sometimes painful selling process." - Gail Mock, Broker/Owner, Mock Realty "During my 19-year career as a real estate investor, renovator, and property manager I have met and used many painting contractors. During the past nine years I have hired Tami exclusively for numerous projects. Whether painting a rental property or a project at my personal residence, I have come to depend on Tami for quality, reliability, and good value." - Clint Folsom, President, Folsom & Co. Real Estate "Tami was referred to me by my realtor and the first time we met was at my house where she helped me pick out interior paint colors. She quickly got a sense of my style and helped me choose fantastic colors including a deep red for my office that makes me smile every time I see it. Tami and her staff did a phenomenal job painting high ceilings, tricky edges, and all of the trim. When I decided to have the exterior of my house painted I immediately called Tami. Together we went through the color samples before choosing the perfect beige for the house with a classy blue for the doors. The entire exterior was hand-painted and nearly everyone who comes to my house comments on the fabulous paint job." - Carrie Gleeksman "As an architect specializing in custom homes and residential remodeling, the level of quality and professionalism I expect from painting contractors is extremely high. Tammy Maurer of Maurer Painting has not only met those expectations, she has actually exceeded them. While I have comfortably referred her to my clients, knowing she will follow up with excellent work, I also use Maurer Painting for work on my own house. The results have been fabulous.

Every project starts with a free, detailed on-site estimate. You'll receive transparent pricing and a clear breakdown of all work - no hidden fees or surprises. **How do I know it's time to repaint my home?** Signs it's time to repaint include peeling, fading, cracked caulk, or visible damage. Many clients also repaint to boost curb appeal before selling, or simply for a fresh new look. **Can you help me choose colors or match existing paint?** Absolutely. Our expert color consultants work with you to find the perfect palette for your space, and we can match virtually any existing color or finish. We primarily use Benjamin Moore paints, and if you have a color from another manufacturer we can match our preferred products to that color. **Are your paints eco-friendly? Do you comply with VOC regulations?** We use premium, low- or no-VOC paints that are safer for your family, employees, and the environment. All our products comply with Colorado's strict VOC standards. **How flexible are you with scheduling?** We work around your schedule to minimize disruption. Our team can even complete projects while you're away or during off-hours for businesses. **Can I leave my home while your crew is working? How is my property protected?** Yes! Many clients trust us with their keys. We carefully protect your floors, furniture, and belongings, and our dedicated crews treat your property with the utmost respect. **Do you handle repairs and prep work before painting?** We take care of most minor repairs - filling holes, caulking, sanding, and light carpentry - to ensure a flawless finish. For major repairs, we'll advise on the best approach. **What areas do you serve?** We proudly serve Boulder, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, Broomfield, Superior, and surrounding communities across Boulder County. **Can you work with my real estate agent, designer, or stager?** Yes!

If you have an issue, just call - we'll make it right. **What do I do with leftover paint?** There is a state fee that's charged for each gallon of paint purchased in Colorado that allows you to take unused paint to any paint store for recycling. A pro tip: always keep at least one gallon (in the original container, and in a conditioned space) of each paint used in your home, clearly marked with where each one was used. When you put your home on the market, the new owners will always want to have the old paint on hand for identification purposes. **How do I select colors?** The right colors combine personal tastes, current trends, and the style of your home. We offer a free consultation to all our clients. We focus the consultation on you, your taste, and your reasons for painting. For example, you may love a color, but it may not be the best option for an imminent home sale. **How long will it take to paint my house?** The size of your home, the number of services, and the complexity all influence how long painting your home will take. During the consultation stage, we'll provide a rough estimate of the time our Boulder house painters will take. When we get to the scheduling phase, there will be a clear start and end date for your project. **Can you match the color of something I already have?** Absolutely! We can take a drawer (for example) from a piece of furniture that you like and have the color matched. We primarily use Benjamin Moore paints, and if you have a color from another manufacturer we can match our preferred products to that color. **How do you ensure a stress-free experience?** Our process is designed for your peace of mind from complimentary color consultation, organized scheduling, meticulous prep, and clear communication at every step. Many clients even leave town during their project and return to a beautifully finished home. **How do you provide accurate quotes?** We assess every detail from surface area, prep needs, paint quality, and labor, before providing a transparent, itemized estimate. There are never hidden fees or surprises. **What sets Maurer Painting apart?** We combine high-end craftsmanship with a down-to-earth, trustworthy approach. --- # Get House Painting Ideas from the Maurer Painting Blog URL: https://maurerpainting.com/blog/ The Maurer Painting Blog features project showcases, how-to guides, seasonal painting tips, company announcements, and before-and-after transformations from Boulder and surrounding communities.

It's an excellent choice for trim and doors. **Satin** paint provides a smooth, velvety finish that balances durability with subtle elegance. It hides imperfections a little better than semi-gloss. **Eggshell** paint gets its name from its low-luster finish, similar to a chicken egg. It's great for most central living spaces thanks to its durability and washability. Mildew resistant. Best for living spaces including high moisture areas. **Flat (or matte)** finishes have little to no shine, making them perfect for hiding flaws on walls and ceilings. ## Room-by-Room Recommendations - Living Rooms: Eggshell for a touch of elegance and durability - Kitchens: Eggshell to handle grease, moisture, and easy cleanup - Dining Rooms: Eggshell for sophistication without being too shiny - Bathrooms: Eggshell for moisture resistance and easy cleaning - Bedrooms: Matte or eggshell for a soft, cozy vibe - Hallways: Eggshell to resist scuffs and smudges in high-traffic areas - Ceilings: Flat for minimal light reflection and flawless coverage - Doors, Cabinets, and Trim: Satin or Semi-gloss for standout durability and shine ## How Sheen Affects Light Sheen doesn't just impact durability - it also transforms the way light interacts with your space. Glossy finishes reflect more light, brightening a room and making it feel larger. If you want to hide imperfections like cracks or uneven surfaces, opt for flat or eggshell finishes. On the other hand, if you're looking to emphasize a feature, like trim or cabinetry, glossy finishes will make those areas pop. ## Style Guidance - Semi-Gloss: Creates a bold, glamorous effect. Perfect for modern and minimalist designs. - Matte: Adds warmth and coziness, making it ideal for bedrooms or relaxing spaces. - Eggshell/Satin: Offers a balanced, versatile look suitable for both traditional and contemporary designs. At Maurer Painting, we've been helping homeowners in Boulder select the perfect paint finishes for nearly 30 years. --- # Boulder House Painters Explain the Different Paint Finishes URL: https://maurerpainting.com/choosing-the-right-paint-finish-a-guide-to-flat-matte-eggshell-or-semi-gloss/ The four main paint finishes - flat, matte, eggshell, and semi-gloss - offer a spectrum of sheen levels, each with its own unique properties. ## Semi-Gloss Semi-gloss paint boasts the highest sheen level, reflecting a significant amount of light. This creates a shiny, almost mirror-like finish. It's also the easiest to clean, making it ideal for frequent cleaning. Consider semi-gloss paint for trim, doors, and kitchen cabinets in your Boulder home. ## Eggshell Sitting between semi-gloss and matte, eggshell offers a beautiful balance. It has a slight sheen, reflecting some light while maintaining a more subtle appearance than semi-gloss. This balance translates to a versatile finish that's both easy to clean and visually appealing. Eggshell paint shines in living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and high moisture rooms. These areas experience moderate traffic and require a finish that's both durable and aesthetically pleasing. For clients who prefer a lower sheen, there are moisture resistant matte finish paint options. ## Lighting Considerations Lighting also plays a crucial role. Natural light can alter the perception of sheen, making an eggshell finish appear more matte or a matte finish appear almost chalky. Similarly, consider the type of artificial lighting you use. Warm incandescent bulbs tend to soften the sheen, while cool LED lights can make it appear more prominent. Consulting with experienced Boulder painters can help you factor in these elements and select the perfect finish for your specific space. ## Summary Choosing the right paint finish isn't just about color - it's about creating a space that's both beautiful and functional. By understanding the properties of gloss, satin, and matte finishes, you can select the perfect sheen level for each area in your Boulder home. Consider the desired aesthetics, functionality of the space, existing paint, and lighting conditions. A well-chosen finish can elevate your entire project. --- # Common Painting Mistakes to Avoid in New Construction URL: https://maurerpainting.com/common-new-construction-painting-mistakes/ At Maurer Painting, we understand the pitfalls of new construction painting and how costly mistakes can derail your vision. This guide explores the most common painting mistakes and why trusting the experts is the smarter, more effective choice. ## Surface Preparation Mistakes A high-quality paint job starts long before the first brushstroke. Proper surface preparation is critical for a smooth and even finish. - **Skipping Cleaning:** Paint doesn't adhere well to dusty, dirty or greasy surfaces. Kitchen walls require degreasers, and metal surfaces may need rust removal. - **Ignoring Repairs:** Failing to patch holes, fill cracks, or apply caulk results in uneven surfaces that paint can't hide. - **Forgetting Inspection:** Overlooking structural cracks or damage can lead to bigger issues down the line. - **Skipping Priming:** Primer isn't optional in many cases - it's the foundation that promotes adhesion, blocks darker colors, and enhances the final result. ## Paint Selection Errors - **Using Low-Quality Paint:** Bargain paints may save money upfront but are prone to peeling, fading, and requiring frequent touch-ups. - **Choosing the Wrong Sheen:** Applying a high-gloss finish in a living room can feel overwhelming while using flat paint in a high-moisture bathroom risks mildew and peeling. ## Environmental and Application Issues - **Hot Weather:** Paint can dry too quickly, leading to streaks and an uneven finish. - **Cold Weather:** Paint may dry too slowly, causing cracking and peeling. - **High Humidity:** Moisture in the air can cause bubbling and poor adhesion. - **Skipping Drying Time:** Rushing to apply a second coat before the first dries properly can cause peeling and uneven finishes. - **Neglecting Painter's Tape:** Using low-quality or no tape leads to messy edges and paint bleeding. ## Protection and Clean-Up - Painters plastic covers countertops, vanities, furniture while heavy mil plastic or paper protects flooring. - Painter's tape ensures sharp, clean edges. - Newly installed light switches, outlets, and hardware should be carefully removed then reinstalled after painting to prevent accidental paint damage. ## Why Choose Maurer Painting for New Construction At Maurer Painting, we've spent nearly 30 years perfecting the art and science of painting. Our team uses premium products, proven techniques, and meticulous attention to detail to deliver results that exceed expectations. --- # The Art of Curb Appeal: Transforming Your Home with Luxury Exterior Paint URL: https://maurerpainting.com/the-art-of-curb-appeal-transforming-your-home-with-luxury-exterior-paint/ When it comes to making a lasting first impression, curb appeal is everything. The exterior of your home is the first thing people notice, and its appearance can set the tone for how your property is perceived. One of the most effective ways to elevate curb appeal is with luxury exterior painting. High-quality paint not only refreshes and revitalizes the facade but also provides long-term benefits like protection from the elements. Furthermore, the right color scheme will transform your home into a standout in the neighborhood, making it both more visually appealing and more valuable over time. ## Why Curb Appeal Matters Curb appeal refers to the visual attractiveness of a home as seen from the street, and it plays a vital role in how a property is perceived by both homeowners and potential buyers or renters. A well-maintained exterior creates a positive emotional response, signaling that the home is cared for and inviting. More than just aesthetics, an updated exterior can increase the home's marketability, making it more appealing to buyers. In fact, homes with excellent curb appeal often sell faster and for higher prices, making it a smart investment for those looking to maximize their property's value. ## The Difference High-End Exterior Paint Makes Choosing high-end exterior paint goes beyond just picking a color - it's about selecting a product that offers superior protection and aesthetic quality. Luxury paints are formulated to last longer and perform better than standard options, ensuring that your home looks its best for years to come. These premium paints often feature advanced technologies like UV protection to prevent fading, weather resistance to combat harsh conditions, and a smooth, even finish that brings out the beauty of your home's exterior. Durability is a hallmark of high-end paints. Unlike standard paints that may begin to chip, peel, or fade after a few seasons, luxury paints can withstand moisture, extreme temperatures, and direct sun exposure without losing their vibrancy. ## Color Selection: Enhancing Your Home's Character Choosing the right color palette for your home's exterior is about more than just personal preference - it's about finding the shades that best complement your home's style, surroundings, and architectural features. Working with professionals who understand color theory can help ensure you choose shades that make your home stand out for the right reasons. For example, lighter colors can make a small home appear larger, while darker tones can add a sense of sophistication. Additionally, it's essential to take into account your home's surroundings, such as landscaping and natural light, as these can impact how colors are perceived. ## The Role of Professional Expertise in Achieving Superior Results When it comes to luxury exterior painting, the expertise of professional painters is invaluable. High-end projects demand more than just a fresh coat of paint - they require skilled craftsmanship, precision, and attention to detail. Professional painters have the knowledge and tools to properly prepare the surfaces, ensuring that every inch is cleaned, primed, and ready for the application of premium paints. Beyond technical expertise, professionals also offer color consultations and personalized services that are essential for homeowners looking to enhance curb appeal. At Maurer Painting, this commitment to detail and personalized service is reflected in every project, ensuring that your home stands out with elegance and style. --- # The Ultimate Guide to Hiring a Professional Painter in Boulder URL: https://maurerpainting.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-hiring-a-professional-painter-in-boulder/ First impressions matter - whether it's the sleek interior of your new home or the fresh exterior of a recent remodel, paint is one of the first things people notice. Hiring experienced, professional painters ensures a flawless finish that enhances your home's beauty and protects your investment. With nearly 30 years of experience, Maurer Painting stands out as Boulder's trusted choice for precision painting. ## Questions to Ask Potential Painters **Experience:** - How long have you been a professional painter? - Can you show me examples of past projects, particularly for new or remodeled homes? - Do you specialize in specific types of buildings or finishes? **Insurance:** - Do you have liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage? - Can you provide proof of coverage? **Materials:** - What types of paint and primers do you use, and why? - Are your materials eco-friendly or low-VOC for indoor air quality? - How long can I expect the paint job to last with proper care? **Process:** - How do you approach surface preparation for new construction or remodeled homes? - Will you handle tasks like filling cracks, patching holes, and sanding? - How do you protect floors, furniture, and other areas during the job? - What's your estimated timeline for completing this project? **Pricing:** - Can you provide a detailed, itemized quote? - Are your prices fixed, or could they change as the project progresses? - What deposit is required, and are there additional fees I should expect? **References:** - Can you share references or testimonials from past clients? - Do you have photos of completed projects? - How do you address concerns or issues if a customer is unsatisfied? ## Evaluating Bids and Proposals - **Look Beyond Price:** A low quote doesn't always mean poor quality. Ask questions about the scope of work, materials, and preparation included. - **Preparation:** Surface preparation is critical for long-lasting results. Ensure the proposal includes thorough prep work such as cleaning, patching, sanding, and priming. - **Products:** Investigate the brands and types of paint included in the bid. Premium paints last longer and maintain their color better. - **Coats:** Confirm how many coats of paint the estimate includes. Professional painters know that two or more coats are often necessary for durability and a rich finish. - **Credentials:** Check the contractor's online presence, including their website, reviews, and certifications. - **Customer Experience:** Reviews and testimonials offer valuable insight. ## The Importance of Insurance Proper insurance protects your home and investment. Professional painters in Boulder should carry both general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Uninsured painters may leave you with unfinished work or unresolved problems. ## Checking References and Reviews Red flags to watch for include: a low number of reviews or ratings, generic or overly vague comments in reviews, and only positive feedback which may indicate fake or paid reviews. Check multiple platforms, such as Google, Yelp, and local community forums, to ensure consistency in their reputation. --- # How Professional Interior Painting Increases Your Home's Resale Value URL: https://maurerpainting.com/increase-property-value-with-boulder-interior-painting/ In a real estate market as competitive as ours, every detail counts when it comes to selling your home. One element many sellers overlook is a professional Boulder interior painting job by a trusted company like Maurer Painting. It's a strategic investment that can significantly enhance your home's marketability and, ultimately, its resale value. ## The Impact of First Impressions in Boulder's Market First impressions are everything, and that holds true in Boulder's competitive real estate market. Buyers form an opinion about a property within seconds of pulling up to the curb. Here at Maurer Painting, we understand the importance of curb appeal. A well-maintained exterior with a fresh coat of paint speaks volumes about a home's overall condition and sets the stage for a positive interior experience. Stepping inside, that positive first impression should continue. A professionally painted interior elevates a home's entire aesthetic. When you walk into a light and airy space with crisp, clean lines and walls showcasing a color palette that complements the home's architecture and natural light, you simply can't help but want to stay. ## The Tangible Benefits of Professional Interior Painting ### Increased Resale Value There is a clear link between professional painting and a home's selling price. While precise figures depend on a variety of factors, freshly painted homes can generally fetch anywhere from 5-10% more than their unpainted counterparts. That translates to a substantial return on your investment, especially in a competitive market like Boulder's. ### Enhanced Marketability A professionally painted interior does wonders for attracting potential buyers. When scrolling through endless online listings, everything starts to blend together. Then you see a home with a beautiful interior bathed in a calming color palette. Suddenly, it stands out. A fresh coat of paint not only creates a visually appealing space but also speaks volumes about the overall care and maintenance of the property. ## Why Entrust Your Home to Professional Interior Painters in Boulder?

Upon deciding to replace the outdated windows in their home, the clients figured it would be a good opportunity to change the 20-year-old color of their bungalow's exterior, as well. **As Fate Would Have It** A chance meeting at the local Benjamin Moore paint store is what led Deborah and Richard to Maurer Painting. As Richard shopped the many paint samples available, he overheard Tami Maurer, the founder of Maurer Painting, speaking with her Benjamin Moore rep. Quickly realizing that Tami was not only friendly, but highly knowledgeable, he requested her business card and discussed his and Deborah's paint project goals. "We've worked with other painters, good ones, but it's always 'give me the colors.' That's one of the big differences with Maurer. So collaborative, like a fellow professional. Such a good eye, good sounding board and communicator. That's what makes Tami special." ## The Right Paint Colors Make All the Difference For this Boulder project, the clients chose an earthy shade of dark gray/green and charcoal for the exterior, with the perfect shade of white for the window trim. The transformation was truly beautiful! It's amazing how an exterior painting project can transform a home, all without the hassle of extensive renovations. "Wow. The right color change can be like a pain-free remodel - without even pounding a nail. Friends have asked us: 'Did you remodel?' Very stunning." It was a pleasure working with Deborah and Richard throughout the process of their exterior painting project. We are pleased that the transformation exceeded their expectations. --- # Check out This House Makeover on a Hidden Gem in Boulder URL: https://maurerpainting.com/restoring-the-beauty-of-a-hidden-gem-in-boulder/ ## Restoring the Beauty of a Hidden Gem in Boulder Process was paramount for this massive exterior painting project with a million details. This colorful Colorado castle is a beautiful hidden gem tucked away in West Boulder. Built some 30 years ago, it was only re-painted once in those 30 years of harsh Colorado winters and sunny summers. The current owners brought in house manager Jake Reddy, who set a plan to tackle this hidden gem's extreme state of deferred maintenance, restore its original beauty with a touch of fresh creativity.

We couldn't be happier with the result." - Jake Reddy, House Manager ## Maurer Painting's Detailed Process for Success The key to perfection is process - with plenty of experience, talent and passion for your craft mixed in for good measure. Here's a summary of the logical, process-driven steps used to master this massive exterior painting project with a million details: 1. Painting of window sashes and frames. Green first, flawless protection of the green, and then the cream. 2. Stain the body of the house. 3. Sand and apply fresh clear coat to wood soffits, balcony and porch ceiling. 4. Exterior doors. Sand to bare wood. New stain, then multiple clear coat applications. 5. Decks sanded and re-stained. 6. All black wrought iron fences and gates - thoroughly sanded and repainted. 7.

Beauty truly is in the details! --- # House Painters in Boulder Enhance "Grand Dame" Property URL: https://maurerpainting.com/maurer-painting-brightens-boulder-grand-dame-home/ ## High-End House Painters in Boulder Give Local "Grand Dame" Home Her Finishing Touches At Maurer Painting, every home presents a unique artistic opportunity. One such recent project involved a distinctive '90s property that the homeowner purchased four years ago. She wanted to refresh the interior while still honoring the home's rich history. ## Getting to Know the Home Before we began, Jennifer Cunningham, the home's new owner, filled us in on its fascinating history. An architect had designed it as a gift for his wife, and the home was lovingly referred to as the 'grand dame' in honor of its femininity and strength. That femininity and strength were apparent the moment we walked through the door. The home was bathed in natural light, with each room featuring beautifully dressed windows. Elegant arched entryways, classic wooden balconies, exposed-beam ceilings, and gently curving stairways offered our painters an incredible canvas. ## A Team Effort As an interior designer, Jennifer was eager to be a part of the process. "I cherished having a color expert partner like Tami to bounce ideas off of. Our collaboration, particularly on palette selection, was critical to the project's success." This phase of the process can often be overwhelming for homeowners. Every color deck holds countless color combinations, and it's easy to picture many different palettes in the same space. Once planning was finished, our crew got to work bringing Tami and Jennifer's vision to life. Thanks to the crew's meticulous attention to detail, each room was as close to perfect as possible - with clean lines, vibrant colors, and not a stray drip in sight. "Once we finalized the color palette, I primarily worked with the Maurer crew. They are fantastic. Tami organizes everything meticulously and trusts her team to perform their tasks proficiently, and I, in turn, trusted the team completely." - Jennifer Cunningham ## An All-New Palette Our team's top priority is always the homeowner's satisfaction. The new palette proved to be as eclectic as it was delightful. Understated English green brought a fresh and verdant energy to the dining room. The living room's neutral palette struck the right balance between cozy and airy, and little romantic touches - like the bedroom's "Marry Me Pink" ceiling - brought everything together. "I feel our grand dame is radiant in her new palette, laughing with us about some of the color names." - Jennifer Cunningham ## High-End Boulder Painters Who Make Your Home's Personality Shine Like you, your home is unique - there's no other like it in the world. So why settle for painting it like every cookie-cutter house on the block? When you stop viewing painting as a chore and start seeing it as an artistic opportunity, that's when the magic happens. At Maurer Painting, we're dedicated to helping you bring that magic to life. Whether you have a clear vision for your home's interior, exterior, or both, we can make it happen.

Very popular in the Northeastern U.S. and gaining popularity in high-end homes, a level 5 finish is a meticulous process: drywall that is taped, given a first and second coat, sanded before applying a thin, thorough "skim coat", which is then also sanded and put under intense light to look for imperfections in the smoothness. Such perfection in a drywall finish can only reveal its true beauty if ultimately finished with equally flawless craft and precision in its painting. ### Our Process for Perfection for Level 5 Drywall 1. 1 coat of high build drywall primer 2. Light sand all surfaces 3. Remove dust from all surfaces 4. Apply 2 finish coats with light sand in between 5. Unmask, leave site for electricians, plumbers, other final-phase subs 6. Final walkthrough and touchup - walk every square inch, blue tape and touch up any imperfections ## Massive Solid Wood Front Door - Stained to Match Walking up in awe of this ultra-modern beauty, you are greeted with a massive, five hundred pound, solid wood front door - complete with the iron handle that appears to be built right into and through the door. The painting challenge with this critical design element: it had to be stained and finished to perfectly match the custom-ordered dining room table that awaits behind the floating entry wall. Staining can be a real pain, especially when multiple elements must integrate seamlessly as one design scheme. It requires meticulous attention to detail, excellent painting supply partners, and a little help from the painting gods. Here's what it took to achieve our perfect match: - A sample piece of the finished dining table wood - A raw piece of wood from or just like that of the door - Take each sample to our paint supply partner, Guiry's, for matching - Sand door and pop the grain - Apply stain - Verify it took on the stain in a unique way consistent with the table ## Black Gloss Shiplap Wood Wall. Sheer Perfection. Shiplap Wood, with its sharp modern lines and touch of the traditional, has become a common design element in recent years. Tracey Bradshaw delivered a bold and original design touch on the Shiplap wall that graces the main wall of the guest bedroom: a sleek, black gloss paint juxtaposed with the bright white walls and off-white finished concrete floor. Black gloss paint can be a thing of beauty, but it also shines in its ability to show every single imperfection. Therefore, it's critical to make sure your prep, application, and paint quality is absolutely perfect. The raw Shiplap wood, with its inherent imperfections, first needed to be filled and sanded. The spray application of the primer and paint could not have any sags, runs or misses whatsoever. The end result: Where black wood meets white wall - sheer perfection. ## A Collaboration of Ultimate Professionals We chose Chino and his highly-skilled interior crew for this extraordinary high-end project. They came through with such an excellent job. Tracey and Todd were amazing to work with. They treated the guys like family, and really showed their appreciation of the painting craftsmanship. Big kudos to our Benjamin Moore reps, too, who visited the project to observe our application of the newly re-formulated Regal Matte finish paint. --- ## Pages Not Accessible at Time of Crawl The following 5 pages from the approved list returned permissions errors and could not be fetched.
