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.

white kind/brand of white paint was used on the staircase?

4 years ago

I would like to paint my staircase white, but my concern is the durability of the paint. Dirty hands would mean the paint has to not only be durable but be scrubbable as well.
Brand suggestions? TIA

    First, I'd suggest an enamel paint. Oil > water. Our go-to oil-based enamel would be Sherwin Williams ProClassic or Benjamin Moore/Spectrum Paint Satin Impervo. Because of all the covid related supply chain issues, we've started to use a lot of Benjamin Moore/Spectrum Paint Command which is a urethane enamel and it's EXCELLENT. You need to prime all caulking, just FYI, before you use the Command product - or else it'll crack! Good luck!
