My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Exterior Paint Help!

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

We've received quotes from two painters to paint the exterior trim and hardieplank siding of our red brick home. We're looking to go with an off-white, current color of trim and siding is a light beige

1.) What SW paint line would you suggest for the gloss finish trim? SW Superpaint is included in the quote, $200 upgrade to Duration, $500 upgrade to Premium Emerald.

2.) Current quote includes 1 coat for siding (in SuperPaint). Do you think we need upgrade to 2 coats on hardieplank? $800 upgrade.

Trying to save money where we can, but don't want to make a big mistake here and cheap out.

Thanks!
