UNDERSTANDING WHICH FINISH IS THE BEST FOR YOUR PROJECT
Understanding Standard Paint Sheens
Flat, Eggshell, Satin, Soft-gloss & High-gloss
The choice of paint finish depends on your specific needs and the ambiance you want to create. Flat and eggshell finishes offer a soft and forgiving look but may not be as durable or easy to clean. Satin and Soft-gloss finishes strike a balance between sheen and durability, with satin being ideal for most interior walls and Soft-gloss for high-moisture areas. High-gloss finishes provide a bold, shiny look, but they require precise surface preparation and may not be suitable for all spaces. Understanding the characteristics and uses of these paint finishes will help you make informed decisions to achieve the desired look and functionality for your projects.
Flat or Matte Finish Flat or Matte Finish
Flat finishes are commonly used on interior walls and ceilings, especially in areas where you want to minimize glare and hide minor imperfections.
Eggshell Finish Eggshell Finish
Eggshell finishes are versatile and can be used in a variety of interior spaces, including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining rooms.
Satin Finish Satin Finish
Satin finishes are often used in kitchens, bathrooms, and family rooms, where durability and cleanability are essential.
Soft-gloss Finish Soft-gloss Finish
Soft-gloss finishes are popular for trim, doors, and cabinets, as they are highly durable and easy to clean.
High-gloss Finish High-gloss Finish
High-gloss finishes are commonly used on trim, doors, and cabinets to create a striking and luxurious look.

What homeowners say about us
Recent Homeowner Reviews
Wonderful People to Deal With!
"I highly recommend Murphy Bros.Painting & Pre-Finishing! We needed a rather small painting job done in a short time period. Other companies wouldn’t even bother to give us an estimate, or bid an outrageous amount knowing we were trying to stay on a budget. Murphy Bros. had a contractor come to the townhome, listened to our needs and made it happen! The workmanship was excellent, thorough and done in a timely manner. It was the easiest part of the entire moving process. Wonderful people to deal with when you’re looking for a painting need!" —K. Bataglia
I Would Recommend Them to Anyone...
"We had a good experience with Murphy Bros. Painting. We were guided through color selection, which was very helpful for us. The painting crew was fast and they cleaned up each day after themselves. The manager of the paint crew made sure we were satisfied with the job and fixed all points of interest. They were very professional and personable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a painter." — K. Gfroere
They Offer Multiple Services to Improve Your Home
This is the third job we’ve had Murphy Brothers do in our home in the past two years. We live in a 1964 3 bed/2 bath ranch and we decided it’s time to spruce it up a bit 😊. The first thing we had them tackle was removing the popcorn ceiling texture and repainting the ceiling so that it is flat. We then had them paint the main living space and hallway with the Sherwin Williams color “Perfect Greige”. It turned out beautifully! The next areas to be painted were the 3 bedrooms (one being an office space) and chose another Sherwin Williams color “Favorite Blue Jeans”. It’s calming and not too dark which gives the room some depth without being “too” much. Those rooms turned out lovely as well. We highly recommend Murphy Brothers! They offer multiple services to improve your home's appearance that will make it comfortable and aesthetically pleasing for many years to come. —E. Young
I Want to Express My Gratitude For The Fantastic Job You Did On Our Cabinets.
"Hello Brandon, I've returned from Boston after two months and want to express my gratitude for the fantastic job you did on our cabinets. They look brand new, and I acknowledge the considerable effort you put into addressing the issue. Thank you very much. I would also like to commend Molly for following up with us and your boss for stopping by. That exemplifies true customer service. Wishing you a happy new year!" — Katy G.
Popcorn to Knockdown
"We used Murphy Brothers for a remodeling of our home. We had the main floor of our house repainted, ceilings changed from popcorn to knock down and cracks in the ceiling of the living room repaired. Every worker was professional and did an excellent job. We highly recommend using Murphy Brothers." — M. Staloch
Bath & Bedroom Painting
"I was living in an Association and in need of several areas of my home to be serviced and repaired. The moment I contacted their Home Service and Repair division they did everything they could, in a timely manner, to resolve my situation. I want to give a special shoutout to: 1 - Tania in their front office who immediately was in contact with their team and to keep me posted on any changes, if any. 2 - Tim who helped me with my so-called touch ups and repairs. 3 - Lastly to Dave who did a phenominal job painting both my Primary Bathroom and Bedroom and, his Manager, who was always opened to contacts, at any time of the week. I would not hesitate to contact Murphy Bros again. They were wonderful to work with and are nothing but professional in their work. They definitely delivered what they promised." — M. Gunhus
Organized, Professional, Friendly, Meticulous in Detail.
"I recently hired Murphy Bros to paint the exterior of my home, and wanted to share my experience. From my first contact through completion of the job, they met and exceeded my expectations. The proposal was submitted within a few days of my call, which included a tour of the property and a few calls to clarify my requests. Their pricing was competitive with estimates from other companies. Work on my home started on the day promised, and the crew assigned was outstanding-they were organized, professional, friendly, and at all times, meticulous in detail. It has been a pleasure to work with your company, and when the need arises in the future, I will be sure to call again! — Bill L.
