Choosing the Perfect Paint Finish for Every Room in Your Home

Jan302024

Introduction

When it comes to transforming the look and feel of your home, a fresh coat of paint can work wonders. However, choosing the right paint finish for each room can be a daunting task. The perfect paint finish can enhance the ambiance and aesthetics of your space while also considering practicality and maintenance. In this blog post, I’ll guide you through selecting the ideal paint finish for every room in your home, ensuring a stunning result that suits both your style and functionality.

High-Gloss Finish for a Dazzling Entrance

Your home’s entrance sets the tone for what’s inside. To create a lasting impression, consider using a high-gloss paint finish for your front door. High-gloss paints are not only visually appealing but also highly durable and easy to clean, making them perfect for areas with high traffic and exposure to the elements.

Elegant Satin Finish for Living Rooms

The living room is where you entertain guests and spend quality time with your family. For a sophisticated look that strikes a balance between durability and aesthetics, opt for a satin finish. Satin paints provide a subtle sheen, making them easy to clean while still offering a luxurious appearance.

Warm and Welcoming Eggshell Finish in Bedrooms

Bedrooms should be cozy and inviting, and an eggshell finish is a good choice. This low-sheen finish adds a hint of warmth to the walls, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Plus, it’s durable enough to withstand daily wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for bedrooms.

Versatile Matte Finish for Dining Rooms

Dining rooms are often a focal point of the home, and a matte finish can work wonders here. Matte paints provide a smooth, velvety look that minimizes light reflection, creating a cozy and intimate dining space. They’re also great at hiding imperfections on your walls, making them a practical choice.

Semi-Gloss for Kitchens and Bathrooms

Kitchens and bathrooms are high-moisture areas prone to splashes and stains. A semi-gloss finish is your best bet for these rooms. It’s not only easy to clean but also resistant to moisture, ensuring your walls look fresh and clean for years to come.

Durable Glossy or Semi-Gloss Finish for Trim and Cabinets

Don’t forget about the finishing touches! For trim, baseboards, and cabinets, a glossy finish is perfect. This durable option provides a sleek and polished look while also standing up to everyday wear and tear.

Special Considerations for Ceilings

While most of the focus is on walls, don’t forget about ceilings. A flat finish is typically best for ceilings, as it minimizes glare and imperfections. However, if you want to add a touch of drama or sophistication, you might consider a high- or semi-gloss ceiling for a unique twist. However, be aware that a sheen on the ceilings will reveal imperfections. A flat finish hides them.

“We did a complete remodel of our home and worked with a bunch of contractors and My Three Sons Painting was by far and away the best. The communication was flawless and their work was amazing. They stand behind their work. Recently we had some issue with the paint on the bricks due to moisture and Keith came out and covered it all under warranty. Just a great owner and great company. I would recommend to anyone!”

Jeff and April Morrison

“We could not be happier with the quality of the work. The ceilings went from textured to absolutely flawless and smooth. The work was done in a very professional manner. There was virtually no dust and extra care was taken to protect floors and furnishings. They were prompt and the work was completed in an amazing timeline. We highly recommend My Three Sons to smooth out textured ceilings and also paint.“

Ava & Ken TaylorLexington KY

“Keith, Tony, Joseph, Carlos, Guillermo and the whole team did an amazing job with our painting project and primary bath renovation. As complex as everything was, the project was on budget and on time! Keith is very responsive, communicative, and truly wants you to love the outcome (no matter what it takes). It was well worth the additional cost compared to other painters and renovation companies. Excited to work on more projects with them in the future.” – Adam P., 5 Star Google Review

Adam ParritzGoogle Review

“My Three Sons painted the entire exterior of our home and my wife and I cannot be happier with the way the job was done and the results of the work. We have never lived in a painted brick home but Keith, Victor and the crew walked us along to make the bold decision to do so. Our home’s curb appeal increased exponentially. From the proposal stage to the finished product, the work was done in the most professional manner possible. We would highly recommend My Three Sons.” – Evan M., 5 Star Google Review

“My Three Sons Painting did an amazing job and painting transformation. Professionalism abounds from their communication to their attention to details. While improvements are never a pleasant experience regardless, this was by far the best process and finished product and exceeded even my lofty expectations. Bravo to the entire crew.“

Quint Tatro, Joule Financial

“I am very please with the quality of the work done by My Three Sons Painting. The new paint looks great, and the job was done professionally, in a timely fashion, and at a reasonable price. Keith communicated with me often throughout the process to keep me informed of what work was scheduled and when the work would be done. I recommend My Three Sons to anyone for your painting needs. You won’t be disappointed.”

Ed Sergent

“My Three Sons Painting did an excellent job refinishing our front doors. After nine years, our doors were very weathered. Geyner and Christopher were very meticulous and did an outstanding job. Everything was completely cleaned up at the end of the day. The doors look brand new. Keith was very professional and communicated continuously during the project. Truly, an outstanding company that I highly recommend.”

M. Anderson

“My Three Sons Painting finished painting my dining room and two rooms of trim repair and repaint today, and I couldn’t be happier! Tony and Justin came in with masks on to keep me safe, covers to keep my floors and furniture safe, and then they worked their magic. They were at my house for two days and started both by letting me know what they planned to do that day, and asked if I had questions or changes. They ended each day by letting me know exactly what they had completed, and asked if I had questions or changes. They were friendly, thorough, and went the extra mile to make sure I was pleased with their work. I may not ever DIY with painting anymore, it makes such a difference when a professional does it!”

Gail BurgeLexington KY

“We finally updated our walls this week with the help of My Three Sons Painting. We ditched the red, green and yellow walls in the living room, foyer and bedroom for Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray while also touching up all the trim. The painters did an excellent job, and my favorite part about them was that they showed up ON TIME and delivered what they promised every day! Highly recommend their team if you need any painting. Shout out to Tony, Terrick and Justin for a job well done!”

Amy ThompsonLexington KY

“Professional all the way! The crew’s appearance, conduct, painting skills, equipment all top notch; did what they said they would do and in the time frame. Would definitely use them again!“

I just had four rooms painted by My Three Sons and they did an incredible job. Quick, neat, careful, well organized, conscientious, polite, always on time, and they did a beautiful job. I've never had a better experience with painters and have never had a project look so good. Travis, the crew leader, was always professional and a real pleasure to work with, the kind of person I was happy to trust with my home. Though they didn't submit the lowest bid, their price was very fair and very competitive and their thoroughness in assessing the job and preparing their estimate was impressive, head and shoulders above any of the others I called. It made it easy to choose them for the job. Keith, the owner, even helped pick out the colors.

We are so pleased with the work performed by My Three Sons Professional Painting. They painted the entire interior of our home and transformed our home. Travis and his crew were such a pleasure to have around, worked really hard, and cleaned up after themselves at the end of every work day. They certainly cared about doing a good job for us, and it was reflected in the finished product. During the middle of the project, we went out of town for a week. We felt very safe leaving them in our home knowing that they could be trusted with the keys to our home and that they would not cut corners on the job while we were away. Keith was so great to work with and followed up on every question or concern we had. We are happy that we chose My Three Sons Painting to do our job and will certainly call on them for any future painting projects we might have.

My Three Sons Painting never lets us down. We recently had our kitchen cabinets redone. They took so much time preparing them before painting and it shows. They turned out beautiful!! This was not the first time we have hired My Three Sons Painting and it definitely won't be the last!

I found My Three Sons online. They painted a door and frame, patched and painted a wall, and sanded, primed, and painted an unfinished fireplace mantel. Keith, the owner, was amazing. He was always on time, detailed with his assessment of the project, explained everything thoroughly, and was in contact with me regularly throughout the process. Best of all, Keith was able to schedule me in for the NEXT DAY - a SATURDAY since my project was fairly small and he had an employee willing to work a weekend. Keith came over the day painting began and went over the to-do list with the painter personally. He brought all of the supplies needed and checked in with me each day to make sure I was satisfied with the work. If I contacted him with a question, I heard back from him within minutes. You couldn't ask for a nicer, more professional guy. I felt like he genuinely cared that I was not only happy with the work, but the entire experience. I also felt that they made my time and schedule a priority. Ben, the painter who did the work was great as well. He showed up when he said he would, worked efficiently, was very neat, and was very courteous and polite. He did a wonderful job. Based on the above, I really have no reason to look for another painting company. I trust My Three Sons and plan to use them for all of our painting needs in the future.

My Three Sons Professional Painting came highly recommended to me by several neighbors and friends. The bid was accurate, the work was done as soon as my other contractors finished the exterior construction, and the painters were professional, efficient and kind. Keith and his whole crew were a pleasure to work with. My entire house looks just wonderful and I get great comments all the time from neighbors about what a nice job they did! I would highly recommend My Three Sons Professional Painting for interior or exterior painting on your home.

We originally obtained three bids to paint the interior of our house. Unfortunately, we elected to go with a local franchise of a national company that was less expensive. The online reviews were positive and a friend had used them with good results. This turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes we have made. Be aware that reviews may be crew-specific. Some of the individuals sent to paint our home were careless and borderline incompetent. We had to clean for about two hours each night after they left and the end result was much worse than if I had done the job myself. We then contacted Keith at My Three Sons to come in and paint the woodwork. I cannot express the difference between the two companies. Geyner and Christopher have cared for our home like it was their own. The workmanship is fantastic. These gentlemen are professionals and take pride in their craft; totally unlike our previous experience. I give My Three Sons my highest recommendation. Keith is a man of integrity and stands behind his company’s work. We will not waste our time with bids for our next painting job. I will consider no one else.

I wanted to commend My Three Sons Professional Painting Services (Painters in Lexington) for the job they did on the outside of my house. I hated the color of the brick and had tried to remedy by having someone else dye the brick; it looked like he had put graffiti on my house. Keith, the owner, did some research on what I could do to fix it. We decided on a lime wash paint and it looks great. I have had several compliments within just a few days. I will use them for any painting needs in the future as well

My Three Sons Professional Painting did excellent work at our home. We had our master bathroom, front entry and door, and our garage door painted. They always showed up on time, worked conscientiously, and the results were fantastic. Very professional job. I highly recommend them for any painting around your home.

Keith and his team from My Three Sons EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS in every which way! We are extremely satisfied with the outcome of the interior paint provided by My Three Sons and enjoyed working with the staff each day. Very kind, very professional, and worth every penny. Thank you, Keith and your wonderful staff!

I hired My Three Sons to remove the textured ceilings in a new home I purchased in December 2020. The job was sizable, requiring the removal of approximately 3400 square feet of textured surface. Tony, our project manager, successfully finished the job over a relatively short period with great care and attention to detail. Looking at our ceilings now, you would never know they were once textured--they are perfectly smooth, pristine, and look original to the house. Moreover, the removal of the texture brightened the light in our home significantly and modernized the overall look immediately. I can't say enough about how professional My Three Sons was or what a great job they did. Amongst all the many, large-scale projects we tackled in our new home, refinishing the ceilings resulted in one of our favorite finished products and it is something we are so glad we did with My Three Sons.

Painters in Lexington - My Three Sons Professional Painting Services. We hired this company to stain our deck. It’s a new deck that we spent a lot of time (and $$) to build, so we wanted the initial staining to be done well to protect our investment. We got numerous bids and while My Three Sons was not the lowest price, they were an easy choice for our project. The initial estimate process was very professional, knowledgeable, and plan clearly explained. Follow-up calls were not done in an annoying/pestering way. When it was time to move forward, the communication moved to a different person, but the transition was smooth with no drop in customer service. The project started exactly when promised, the crew on-site was professional, stayed busy, and communicated very clearly when they were leaving both days for what to expect next. We’ve had our share of bad experiences with contractors not showing, communicating, poor quality, etc. My Three Sons has been the best contractor experience that we have ever had. When we’re ready for our next painting/staining project, we’ll definitely return to this company!

We had our house limewashed and we couldn’t be happier with the results. My Three Sons painting knew exactly what we were looking for. If you are looking for Lexington painters contact them. They were so helpful and easy to work with. We had a certain look we wanted and they were glad to repaint and rewash as much as needed to get the exact finished product.
