Materials, Finishes & Sheens for CT Homes
We use the right primer for each room—bonding, stain-blocking, or moisture/mildew control—followed by high-quality acrylic top-coats for color stability and easy cleanability. Walls get eggshell or satin, trim and doors semi-gloss, and ceilings flat. We also offer color guidance with classic neutrals that fit Connecticut interiors.
Typical specs:
- Walls: Patch → sand → primer as needed → acrylic latex finish (eggshell/satin).
- Ceilings: Repair → stain-block if needed → flat finish.
- Trim/Doors: Sand/de-gloss → adhesion primer → enamel/semi-gloss.
- Bath/Kitchen: Mildew-resistant acrylics for humidity.
Kitchen Cabinet Prep & Finishing
Thorough cleaning, degreasing, sanding, and proper priming ensure strong adhesion and a smooth, factory-like finish. We use cabinet-specific primers and coatings designed to resist moisture, heat, and daily wear.

Posted on Cassandra DzindzaletTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Alves Painting! I asked Douglas to de-popcorn and paint the entire inside of my house before I moved in. That was about a 10 day window and a huge ask. Even with some curveballs (asbestos), Douglas and his team worked overtime to ensure the job was done by my move in day. He also got some sheet rock done when I asked him to close up an interior door. Douglas was communicative, professional, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I’m so happy with the results; Douglas takes pride in the quality of his work and it shows.Posted on Luciléia SousaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
