Painters often tint primer close to the color of the top coat, but Wallis thinks that's a recipe for "holidays," or missed spots. Instead, he tints his primer a contrasting color. "If I can see the color coming through, I know I need to apply more paint," he says. On the cottage shown in this story, he chose a gray-blue primer to go under a peach top coat. House Painting

The best paint for the surface: A well-lit area such as a sunroom will need a paint that's able to hold up to UV rays without fading, while a semigloss paint is ideal for doors, windows, trim and shutters -- providing added protection and visual appeal. If you're painting a surface with many imperfections, you'll find that it's best complemented by paint that has a matte finish. Home Painting

"Just a quick note to let you know what an amazing job your crew is doing on our house… They are a delightful and professional crew and we couldn't be more pleased. As we discussed during our initial meeting, this project was going to require a lot of prep work (as you quoted 60% of our clapboard would be taken down to the bare wood), and they have really stepped up to the task without taking any shortcuts. Their attention to detail, in regard to creating the perfect painting surface that we'd all be happy with, has been stellar, and it goes a long way to showcase the quality and pride in work that MDF guarantees. With the house nearly complete, we're really looking forward to the end result. Please share our praise with your team-they have certainly earned it!" House Painting
