What Sheen is best for the exterior of your home?

A question we are asked all the time. Most times we recommend to our clients a flat on the body and a semi- gloss or high gloss for the trim. Flat on the body does the best in hiding imperfections. Flat finish also gives a velvety finish and does not give off that glare that happens when the sun hits it. Gloss on the body offers no more protection then a flat. Gloss on the trim gives that added extra standout look and frames the whole house. You may want to think about changing the trim color from white the most common color, to something a bit more pleasing, usually a hue up or down from the body color.
