"What is a 'Level 5' drywall finish, and why do I need it?"
A Level 5 finish is the highest quality available, involving an extra "skim coat" over the entire drywall surface. It creates a perfectly smooth, uniform plane that is essential for rooms with a lot of natural light or for darker paint colors, as it eliminates any chance of seeing seams or imperfections.
"What's the difference between Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and Laminate?"
Both are durable and mimic wood well. The main difference is the core material. LVP has a waterproof PVC core, making it ideal for any room, including kitchens and baths. Laminate typically has a fiberboard core, making it water-resistant but not fully waterproof.
"How long does a whole-house interior paint job take?"
For an average-sized home, the process—including extensive prep work (patching, sanding, masking), painting, and cleanup—typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. The preparation phase is the most critical and time-consuming part of a quality job.
"Which paint sheen should I use for my walls vs. my trim?"
As a general rule, a matte or eggshell finish is popular for walls as it hides imperfections and has a soft, elegant look. For trim, baseboards, and doors, a semi-gloss or satin finish is recommended because it's more durable, easier to clean, and provides a subtle, attractive contrast to the walls.
Your journey to a perfectly polished and beautifully finished home starts with a simple conversation. Let's begin the process of creating the stunning interior you've always imagined.
