Choosing the ideal paint for your living room walls depends on a few factors, and our expert staff can guide you through the options to find the perfect fit! A popular choice for living rooms is satin finish paint. It strikes a great balance – it's washable for everyday living, and its subtle sheen can actually brighten the space by reflecting light. But let's consider some other factors to ensure you achieve the look and functionality you desire:

Durability and Washability: If you have young children or pets, a more durable and washable option like eggshell or even semi-gloss might be better suited for the wear and tear. Flat paints, while excellent at hiding imperfections, can be trickier to clean.

Lighting and Ambiance: Flat finishes create a more casual and relaxed feel, while satin or even a low sheen eggshell can bounce light around the room, making it feel brighter and more airy.

Desired Look: Do you prefer a classic, matte finish or a touch of sophistication with a subtle sheen?

By discussing these factors and your vision for the space with our experts, we can recommend the perfect paint for your living room walls, ensuring both beauty and functionality for your enjoyment!

Absolutely! Figuring out the right amount of paint can be tricky, but we're here to help!  Our staff can guide you through estimating the paint needed for your project.  They'll consider several factors to ensure you have enough paint,  including the dimensions of your space (walls, ceiling, minus doors and windows), the type of paint (some paints cover more area per gallon than others), and the desired number of coats (most projects require two coats for complete coverage).  Don't hesitate to bring in room measurements or sketches for a more precise estimate!

Absolutely! Choosing the right paint is key to your DIY project's success. To guide you, consider the surface (latex for walls, oil-based for trim, etc.), desired finish (flat hides imperfections, gloss is cleanable), durability (washable for high-traffic areas), and color.

The cost of painting your home's interior can vary depending on several factors. However, to give you a general idea, Duval Paint & Decorating can provide a free estimate tailored to your specific project. 

Here's a breakdown of some elements that influence the overall price:

• Square Footage: The size of the area being painted is a major cost factor. Generally, larger houses will cost more than smaller ones.
• Project Complexity: Simpler projects involving one or two colors and standard wall finishes will typically be more affordable than projects with intricate details, multiple colors, or specialty finishes.
• Wall Condition: The condition of your walls will also play a role. Does the surface need minor repairs, extensive patching, or removal of wallpaper? Significant prep work will increase the overall cost.
• Paint Quality: High-quality paints from Benjamin Moore, which we offer at Duval, may cost slightly more upfront but offer superior coverage, durability, and a richer finish, potentially saving you money in the long run.

Here's a ballpark range to consider:

For a standard interior painting project, expect to pay somewhere between $2.25 and $4.00 per square foot. This includes both labor and materials. Keep in mind that this is just an estimate, and the final price for your project may be higher or lower depending on the factors mentioned above.
