When it’s time for a big house renovation , you will probably be looking for areas to save a little money. While there are ways to update on a budget , skimping on your paint is not on that list.

The best quality interior paint brands use the highest quality products. This means during the application process, your paint is rolled on smoothly, and quality materials will be durable enough to last the test of time. You won’t find this paint chipping or fading!

High quality paint has a longer life

Some of the most frustrating momenst in the life of your walls is when they chip or scuff. However, high quality paint brands offer special formulas that fight this deterioration. This might mean a more expensive up front cost to paint, but your walls will not need to be painted as frequently.

Plus, these brands have perfected their satin and semi-gloss options. These finishes are a great choice because they are easier to clean, and repel fingerprints and dirt. In a high traffic area, these higher quality brands will last significantly longer than cheaper brands.

High quality paint saves time

How is this possible? Richer pigmented paints often need several coats in order to cover well. However, high quality paint brands create a more opaque paint. This means that often one coat of paint is all that’s needed for proper coverage.

In addition, better brands often incorporate primer into their paint. This saves time and money as you do not need to start with a primer before adding your color.

High quality paint is safer

Reputable paint companies focus on providing a safe product. They work hard to uphold quality standards, and offer truly safe low-VOC and zero-VOC paint products. Interestingly enough, some cheaper brands offer low-VOC paints, but they fall out of this category once the pigment has been added. This is a shady, and unsafe, practice.

Choosing a high quality paint brand insures that you are truly protecting the environment of your home for yourself and your family.

High quality paint looks better

What are some of the best qualities of a fresh coat of paint? The vivid colors, the exquisite sheen and the smooth application. Although you may not be able to tell the difference when you compare to cans of paint, you can instantly tell once they’re applied to the wall!

High quality paint rolls on smooth, and since you need less coats to cover previous paint, it insures an even coating. Plus, the high quality ingredients blends imperfections on your walls and create a wonderful finish.
