How to Choose the Right Paint
A premium paint offers smoother, more uniform appearance as well as better coverage. Although premium paint may cost more, it maintains its durability longer, so your home doesn't require frequent repainting.
In this video, Cole Schaefer, a professional painter, shares the differences between the different grades of paint and why using premium paint can truly transform a home's appearance and provide a durable finish that lasts.
The quality of the paint depends upon the type and amount of ingredients used to make it. These ingredients are combined to provide different levels of application and performance properties.
So what goes into a can of paint? All paints have four basic ingredients, pigment, binders, liquid, and additives. Pigment provides color coverage and gloss control binders find the pigment together and provide film integrity, and adhesion to a surface liquid, also known as the solvent, provides desired consistency and makes it possible to apply the pigment and binders to the surface.
Additives are ingredients that provide specific paint properties such as mildew resistance and good flow and level.
The paint property commonly referred to by professionals as volume solids or simply solids. Solids are a good first step for determining the quality of the paint once you know the solids of a product more research is still needed to identify specific properties of paint you can find some of this information on product literature labels or technical datasheets.
When you buy a gallon of paint, you're essentially paying for the solids portion of that gallon, the solids are the binders and pigments that adhere to the wall and remain after the paint dries.
For most of us, our home is the single largest purchase we will ever make in our lifetime. So how do we choose to protect that investment? We'll cover it with paint no thicker than the sheet of paper and expect that paint to withstand the constant rigors of indoor and outdoor use for five to ten years. Now be sure to consider using a premium product every time you paint.

The Sherwin Williams 2026 Color Forecast: My Honest Thoughts
Sherwin Williams just released their 2026 Colormix Forecast: Anthology Volume 2 — and this time, they gave us not one, not two, but *four entire color palettes* to work with: Frosted Tints, Sunbaked Hues, Restorative Darks, and Foundational Neutrals.
But are they trendsetting or just throwing paint at the wall to see what sticks?
In this video, I’ll walk through each palette, what makes them unique, where I think they shine, and where I think they fall flat. Then I’ll rank all four based on style, practicality, and color harmony.
Spoiler: there’s one palette I’d use in almost any space… and one that honestly stressed me out a bit.

Things to Consider If You Need a Restoration Service
When you find yourself the victim of a natural disaster or fire and water damage, it is only natural to feel as if you have lost everything. Don't despair and lose hope. When disaster strikes, don't assume that all is lost. Simply contact a restoration service and let
them take care of everything. Keep in mind that at first, you may be
shocked about what has happened to your home, but with the right team of
professionals on your side, you can and will get through this ordeal.
You are going to need to do some things before the restoration service can get started. One of those things is to file a police report so that your insurance company will cover the cost to fix any damaged components of your home. A reputable restoration service can get things back to normal the fastest way possible. If some part of your home needs to be rebuilt because of extensive damage or if some part just needs to be remodeled, you don't have to go out looking around for a company that would be willing to take on your home with the type of damage it has sustained.
There are several reasons why you should hire a professional company. One is because emergencies and disasters can happen any time of day or night. You don't want to have to wait for assistance if it is after hours. By hiring a professional team, you have assistance available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. They are there at your beck and call to help.
Because there is so much urgency in times of dire need, it may not be possible for you to properly screen all contractors that offer a restoration service. That is why you should hire a restoration service that has employees. A reputable company will be certified by several government agencies, in addition to having all of the required credentials and insurances for your protection. When you are faced with this type of situation, it is best to get started right away to reduce the severity of your loss or damage. The right company will get your property secured and cleaned up in no time.
You want to hire a company that will work with your insurer so you don't have any unexpected or out of pocket expenses. They can fill out the necessary paperwork and speed up the processing time for your claim. This will help you to get back on your feet.
Keep in mind that you need to hire a restoration service that is available around the clock. They need to have workmen's compensation insurance and liability insurance on all of their workers. The longer they have been in business shows how well they cater to the needs of their customers. Ultimately, you want a company that can take care of all of your needs from start to finish, which will make the whole process less stressful and easier to deal with.
