What is the best exterior paint? What finish should one use on the exterior?
i am also a contractor and the paint being extra is pretty common because they would have to add twenty percent to the paint cost to make sure they dont bid too little paint and get burned, i prefer all latex paints because of drying time and simplicity the sheen is usually a semigloss on the exterior i prefer to use Benjamin-Moore or Sherwin Williams paint just because you will have to buy less and will last longer the bid should include all materials and labor except the cost of paint and do not change colors half way through or will be costly
