Timothy Corrigan + Bill Suplee

Why do you consider it critical to work with a skilled painting contractor?

Timothy: Our projects tend to have beautiful architectural details, wood paneling and plasterwork, which require specialty painting. We also work on historic homes where an understanding of preservation is key.

How do the features and benefits of a paint product influence your specification?

Bill: We love Benjamin Moore’s SCUFF-X® Interior paint for families because it is washable and scrubbable. Low or no-odor formulas like Eco Spec® are desirable for health-conscious clients and those with young children. I also recommend semi- gloss and eggshell finishes for kitchens and baths, but flat ones for ceilings and matte for walls.

Which colors inspire you the most?

Timothy: I am most influenced by the vibrant, saturated colors used in mid-18th-century French design. I like warm shades versus cooler ones in any color, because they make a space feel welcoming.
