We wanted the same kind of finish and went with Millcreek Painters after getting quotes from both. Fresh Paint was nice but Millcreek's portfolio had more examples of the flat, seamless look we wanted. They used a sprayer and back-rolled it perfectly—zero streaks. Plus they had a color consultant which helped a ton. Highly recommend Millcreek Painters .
