These images show the light reflecting properties of Eggshell or satin wall paint. (Satin and eggshell are virtually identical sheens.  They are both one full sheen above flat)

The feedback we have received over the years

Wood siding and sheen are a bad combination.  The rough surface will reflect light very unevenly, therefore the FLAT finish is the best choice for cedar siding.

Most of our clients do like the satin finish on Hardie plank siding.

The satin finish is a must on trim, including wood windows and gutters.  The sheen will help the trim pieces stand out and offer better washability.

Our estimate will include all the right paints and sheens but we are ready to make changes based on your preferences
