Best Paint to Use in the Bathroom

Best Paint to Use in the Bathroom

Bathrooms are small spaces that are updated easily with a new look. This small project can be done in a day and will not overwhelm your house or life. All good news, but what type of paint should I use in my bathroom?

DURABILITY:

Bathrooms have moisture, which is damaging to many kinds of paint. So, if there is a bath or shower, then a specific type of paint is needed.

It is best to avoid flat paints in bathrooms because they do not repel moisture and cannot be cleaned or wiped down. There are different sheens on the market, but honestly, you need to go with Satin, Semi-gloss, or High gloss to get the durability you need in a bathroom.

Yes, there are paints available that have additives that ensure you don’t have to worry about the sheen as much. Just make sure to do your research thoroughly before purchasing.

COLOR:

In a bathroom where a woman gets ready each day, you should choose neutral colors. Avoid greens, they can throw off a woman's look each morning.

PREP WORK:

You have to clean those walls, ceilings, and trim before you do anything at all.

Then get everything taped, covered, and protected before your painting tools come out.

Eric and his crew were on time every day and did a very thorough job. I was thrilled that they were willing to paint my outdoor light fixtures which were getting rusty. I was particularly impressed how much time they spent going over their work at the end to catch spots that were missed. I’ll be using them again for interior painting.

The crew is as neat and reliable as the actual painting job and paint used. No boom boxes!! Cordial staff spoke English. The crew got along with each other and worked as a team. The actual finish is / was beautiful. We would like to use Brooks again!

Brooks did a fantastic job on our exterior and interior paint jobs. Quality was high, price was reasonable, and the team was extremely professional and detail-oriented. Mark was our crew lead and the team performed a number of exterior wood repairs, a door re-stain, interior and exterior painting. Mark clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and went above and beyond to ensure the work was high-quality, including finding exact matching siding to fix dry rot, and performing minor repairs that weren't even included in the quote. He and the team were all consistently positive and personable, joking with each other throughout the day, while also genuinely complimenting each other on the quality of their work. It was great to see, and that positivity definitely showed through the work they did. We couldn't be happier with the end result.

Very professional. Painters were very accommodating on the little things.

What a difference!! We hired Brooks Painting to do both an interior refresh painting and a completely new exterior color. Everything was handled professionally and as promised. The team, from estimator to office to painters on site, was responsive, friendly and skilled. Brooks Painting is the most reliable contractor we have ever hired. Thank you Jeremy, Dan, Israel, and Kristen.

Brooks Painting painted our home in Sacramento in March of 2022. Tim did a great job power washing our home. Corey, Flint, and Kristen were very helpful in the bid and. planning. process. The painting crew was excellent. Arrived on time each day and the project was finished in 5 days as promised. All worked very hard.

M Hawkins

We are long time happy customers with many positive experiences with Brooks Painting. We have appreciated the assistance (and patience) with selecting paint colors, the professionalism of the staff and the high quality of workmanship. We recently had some interior painting done and the crew was on time, neat, careful inside the house and very easy to work with. They also cheerfully handled some unexpected drywall repair. I highly recommend Brooks Painting.
