More Than Ordinary Paint

There are so many choices contractors and homeowners must make when it comes to paint.  What brand do you want; Sherwin Williams, Kelly-Moore, Dunn Edwards, Dulux, Benjamin Moore, Behr?  Then once you select the brand, you have to select the product line you want.  Then you have to select the perfect colors to use.  There are so many decisions it can make your head spin.  As the paint world evolves and changes, there are new innovations created that we can choose.  They can really change the way you look at your home or office space.

There are three products that you may not know about that we think you may want to consider.  They are: magnetic paint, chalkboard paint, and dry-erase paint.

Magnetic paint is great for kitchens, office, and kids rooms.  You paint a few coats of magnetic paint then paint over it with regular paint so you get the color you want.  To provide a good magnetic surface it is best to do multiple base coats on a smoother surface; heavy texture can reduce the ability for magnets to stick.  There are different products out there, so be very careful in what you choose.  This is one of those times that you get what you pay for.

Chalkboard paint is a big hit in kid’s rooms.  They get to write on their walls without getting in trouble.  Make sure that you do it on lower areas of the walls so that the kids can easily write on it.  You can frame it with a nice wood trim, or simply mask a boarder with tape and leave nice straight lines.  Chalkboard paint has traditionally come in black, to look like a chalkboard we grew up with in school.  Now some manufactures can tint it to different colors.  Just like the magnetic paint, there are choices in manufactures, so make sure you research the best brand before you buy.

Dry-erase paint is probably the least known of these three specialty products.  It has been around for years, and is used more in commercial settings, but it is finding its way into more homes.  It is by far the priciest of the three choices, and really should be applied by a professional.  It needs to be on smooth wall, it just doesn’t work well on textured walls.  It must be primed first, then only one coat of dry erase paint.  You have to use special rollers to get the paint to lie down smoothly. If you leave too much stipple it will not be a nice writing surface.  It comes in a few different colors, the most popular being white.  We have it in our conference room and love it.

Consider these options and get creative with your next painting project! If you need professional help, call Brooks Painting at 530-753-5074.

I wanted to have my kitchen cabinets painted but knew that that was a job that required skill and expertise. I called Brooks Painting and the experience from start to finish was perfect! Everyone I dealt with was personable and good at their jobs. They spent time answering questions, explaining the exact process, and did the work precisely as promised. They even did a few other small jobs (repairing and painting 2 water damaged ceilings) to perfection. And everything was neat and clean when they left! And the cabinets – better than I could have hoped for. Esteban is a master craftsman who was meticulous in every aspect of his work. The finish is smooth as glass with no imperfections. I couldn’t be happier!

Brooks Painting has be in business a long time in our area. As a native resident we have seen and heard of their professional & quality painting. In looking for bids on painting our house Brooks was referred numerous times. When Jeremy came out to meet us we were sold on using their services and looked no further. Every aspect of this company was very upfront, professional and made us feel safe, valued and comfortable hiring them. The office staff kept good communication with us. The color matching was perfect. The crew showed up on time, were respectful and did a great job from prep to the final end of the project. The warranty offered was a plus and the liability coverage gave us peace of mind also. The price was well worth all that was included in the project so we had little to do but move our stuff away from the house. Thank you Brooks painting, crew and staff for making our home new again :)

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.

Mark and the team from Brook’s Painting are exceptional at their jobs. We recently renovated a 5000sqft home and they did all the painting. Their attention to detail and investment in our project is so appreciated, and we knew we were in good hands with them. The value they add by identifying issues, making suggestions and going the extra mile to deliver quality work and make sure we are happy with our home is such a breath of fresh air. I would hire this team and company for any future work in a heartbeat and can’t say enough how amazing they are!

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.
