The Paint and Primers We Use on Phoenix Homes

Every product that goes on your house, what it really covers, and what it does and doesn't do in Arizona sun.

We use Dunn-Edwards on every exterior we paint in the Phoenix valley. Below is every product, the manufacturer's specifications, and the coverage we actually get on real walls — which is usually well below the figure on the can.

Being transparent is easy when you have nothing to hide. I use the highest grade paints available and I am proud to tell you about it.

When someone doesn't specify in writing the grades and products they're using, it usually means they plan to use the lowest cost option available. That is the single most useful thing I can tell you about reading a painting bid.

Over the last twenty-some years I have used almost every brand and every grade of paint and primer, at customers' requests. What I have found is that Dunn-Edwards products consistently outperform and outlast their competitors. So that is what goes on your house — and here is every one of them, with what it really covers on a Phoenix wall rather than what the can says.
