Your Professional Painters

It works great for painting older houses, it can help to hide many flaws and imperfections on the walls. However, there are drawbacks to using flat finish paints on exterior surfaces. While they may look great initially, but they are nearly impossible to clean. Therefore, it is not recommended for horizontal or high-traffic surfaces such as doors, windows, railings, or floors.

A satin finish has a pearl-like sheen and is reflective. It is the most popular among homeowners and is easy to maintain and keep clean with regular water pressure washing. Satin paint is more durable than flat paint but still not hard enough to be used for painting floors, railings, windows, or doors.

The gloss paint finish is the toughest and easiest to clean but must be used occasionally. If you paint the entire body of your house, it will look too much. Besides, this shiny finish reflects light and will magnify every little surface flaw ten times, so it's better to use this heavy-duty paint in places that need it, like doors and door frames, windows, handrails, outside furniture, etc.
