Paints & Finishes We Use
Premium paints and the right sheen for every surface.
Choosing the right sheen
The finish (or “sheen”) changes how a room looks and how well the paint holds up. Flat and matte hide wall imperfections and suit low-traffic rooms and ceilings, but wipe clean less easily. Eggshell and satin add a soft glow and stand up to everyday cleaning — the go-to for living rooms, bedrooms and hallways. Semi-gloss and gloss are the most durable and moisture-resistant, ideal for trim, doors, cabinets, kitchens and baths. Des Moines Painting Company recommends the right sheen for each surface so your paint looks great and lasts.
Why premium paint is worth it
Cheaper paint often needs more coats and fades or scuffs sooner, costing more over time. Premium lines from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore and PPG give better coverage, richer color and far greater durability — plus low-VOC formulas that are safer for your family. Des Moines Painting Company helps you balance budget and quality, and preps every surface properly so the finish adheres and lasts for years across Des Moines.
