PPG Paints

We use PPG Paints because their formulation science is world-class — PPG is one of the largest coatings manufacturers on the planet, and that research investment shows up directly in product performance. The PPG Diamond interior line is a self-priming, high-hide formula that covers beautifully in two coats even over dark or heavily patched surfaces. The finish cures hard and remains cleanable without burnishing, making it a strong choice for family-oriented residential interiors where walls take daily punishment. We recommend PPG Diamond for clients prioritizing hide power and value in a premium coating.

For exterior applications, PPG's Timeless line is one of the standout performers in Canadian climates. Its advanced acrylic formulation provides outstanding resistance to UV fading, moisture penetration, and the extreme thermal cycling that Ontario homes experience between January and August. The Timeless line is particularly effective on wood siding, stucco, and fibre cement — surfaces that require a coating with genuine flexibility and adhesion strength. We have seen PPG exterior products maintain colour and film integrity significantly longer than mid-grade alternatives on comparable projects.

PPG also provides an excellent range of primers and specialty coatings that complement our full project workflow. Their water-based alkyd primers bond exceptionally to problematic surfaces like chalk-painted walls, slick or previously glossy trim, and bare wood — surfaces where proper priming is the difference between a paint job that lasts a decade and one that starts peeling in two years. PPG's commitment to sustainability is reflected in their expanding range of low-VOC and zero-VOC formulas, which we use in occupied homes and commercial spaces where indoor air quality is a priority.
