Can I use interior paint outside or vice versa?

No, they’re made differently. Exterior paints resist weather, interior paints are safer indoors.

Is the prep work different?

Yes. Exteriors need more power washing and priming; interiors need more masking and surface repairs.

Do you use different crews for each?

Same team, trained for both. We adjust tools and techniques depending on the job.
