Better Paint Means a Better Finish

Thinking about a new coat of paint?
Let’s talk about why a smooth finish starts with a better foundation.

A 25-Year Partnership with Sherwin-Williams
(and Why It Matters to You)

While our Washington team just recently made the switch to using Sherwin-Williams exclusively, it’s also a continuation of a trusted partnership that’s been going strong for over 25 years. At our original Illinois location, Paint-Right Painting has relied on Sherwin-Williams products for everything from full-home repaints to detailed trim and cabinet work, and that experience continues to guide the work we do today.

That kind of lasting relationship doesn’t just happen—it’s earned through years of dependable performance, project after project. We’ve used their paints on everything from historic homes to brand-new builds; through humid summers and harsh winters; and across just about every surface you can imagine. No matter the challenge, Sherwin-Williams products have consistently delivered beautiful results that make our clients happy and keep us proud of our work.

When it came time to reassess the best tools for delivering consistent, long-lasting results in the evergreen state, Sherwin-Williams stood out as the clear choice. We know firsthand how well their products hold up across a wide range of surfaces and climates. Bringing that same level of quality and reliability to our Washington projects just made sense, especially in a region where paint has to work overtime against moisture, moss, and UV exposure.

Whether you’re repainting a waterfront cottage or updating your interior with something bold and new, you’ll benefit from our quarter-century of Sherwin-Williams-backed experience—right here in the Pacific Northwest.

Why Sherwin-Williams? A Look at the Benefits

We didn’t choose Sherwin-Williams for brand loyalty or even because they’re a household name. We chose them because their products outperform the competition in all the ways that matter—coverage, longevity, and a flawless finish that actually lasts.

Here’s why we trust Sherwin-Williams for every painting project:

1. Durability You Can Count On

Paint in the Pacific Northwest has to hold up against a lot—rain, coastal humidity, sun exposure, and even salty air near the water. Sherwin-Williams has exterior paints specially engineered to last in these exact conditions, with formulas that resist peeling, fading, and mildew. Whether it’s sun-exposed siding in Gig Harbor or a damp backyard fence on the Key Peninsula, we want that finish to stay strong year after year.

2. Excellent Coverage and Application

There’s a big difference between paint that looks good at first and one that truly goes on smoothly, evenly, and with fewer coats. Sherwin-Williams makes that difference obvious. The better the paint, the better it covers, which also translates to a more consistent look, better protection, and less touch-up work later on.

3. Color That Lasts (and Looks Great in PNW Light)

Natural light in this region can shift dramatically from season to season and even hour to hour. We’ve found that Sherwin-Williams paints have rich pigments that stay true, whether you're dealing with the soft grays of a cloudy Port Orchard afternoon or the bright summer sun in Tacoma. Their fade resistance is especially important for bold accent colors like navy blue, charcoal, or forest green.

4. Low VOC, Health-Conscious Options

For interior projects, especially in homes with kids or pets, we often recommend Sherwin-Williams’ low-VOC or zero-VOC products. These paints offer excellent performance without that strong lingering odor, making your home more livable immediately after a fresh coat goes on.

5. Support and Product Knowledge

Behind the brand is a network of knowledgeable local reps and well-stocked stores (like the one right in Gig Harbor). If we ever need to troubleshoot a product, color match an older finish, or get advice for a unique surface, we’ve got real support—not just a customer service line.
