In contrast, exterior projects encompass all surfaces: brick, stucco, hardy board, vinyl, and aluminum siding.What makes Spray-Net unique? “We change the way we paint your home,” explains Greg. That starts with the products they apply; “We don’t use off-the-shelf paint. Instead, we use Spray-Net’s proprietary, in-house paint and stain formulas specific to the surfaces.”“We use only spray guns, no rollers or brushes to apply the paint or stain, so the result is a clean and smooth surface that looks brand new,” says Greg, “especially on interior cabinets.”Greg Patulea - OwnerAFTERSpray gun application is cost-effective and time- saving and results in a factory-looking finish.The cost savings come from keeping the original cabinets instead of ripping them out and starting over.
