Paint & Paint Supplies in Flagstaff

Painting in Flagstaff isn’t the same as painting anywhere else, and that’s exactly why HomCo does it differently.

At HomCo Lumber & Hardware, we help homeowners, DIYers, and local pros find the right interior and exterior paint for high-elevation living, strong UV exposure, cold winters, and dramatic temperature swings. From interior refreshes to full exterior repaints, you’ll find trusted paint brands, prep products, and tools that hold up in Northern Arizona’s climate - not just look good on day one.

Whether you’re touching up a historic home near downtown, updating a mountain cabin, or tackling a weekend project before the next snowstorm rolls in, our Flagstaff team is here to help you get it right.

Choosing the Right Paint for Flagstaff Homes

Flagstaff homes see more wear than most: bright sun, cold nights, snow, wind, and moisture all take a toll on paint.

For busy interior spaces like kitchens, hallways, and mudrooms, we recommend durable, washable finishes that stand up to daily life. Bathrooms and laundry rooms benefit from mildew-resistant paints, especially during colder months when ventilation is limited.

Trim, doors, and cabinets require harder finishes that resist scuffing; especially in homes with pets, kids, or lots of winter gear coming in and out.

For exterior projects, paint selection matters even more. High-quality exterior coatings help protect siding and trim from:

• UV damage at higher elevations
• Freeze-thaw cycles
• Moisture from snow and seasonal rain

Not sure which product works best for your home? Testing small samples before committing can save time, money, and frustration - and our team can help you narrow it down!

Prep Work That Helps Paint Survive Flagstaff Weather

Great paint jobs start long before the first coat goes on.

Dust, oils, and residue can prevent paint from bonding properly, so thorough cleaning is essential - especially after long winters or windy spring seasons. Patching and sanding create smooth, even surfaces that make finished walls look professional instead of patchy.

Primer plays a big role in durability, helping paint adhere evenly and blocking stains from bleeding through. When repainting glossy trim or older finishes, light sanding or a bonding primer helps prevent peeling and chipping.

For exterior prep, Flagstaff homes often benefit from:

• Power washing siding after winter
• Scraping loose or flaking paint
• Replacing damaged trim or moldings before repainting

Doing prep work right means fewer touch-ups later.

Paint Tools That Save Time (and Frustration)

The right tools make a noticeable difference, both in how fast you finish and how good the final result looks.

Quality brushes hold more paint and provide cleaner lines on trim, baseboards, and corners. Angled brushes give better control around windows and doors, especially in older homes with detailed trim.

Roller covers come in different nap lengths to match smooth drywall, textured walls, or exterior surfaces. Larger rollers speed up big wall projects, while smaller sleeves help reach tight spaces.

For fences, decks, and large exterior surfaces, paint sprayers can save hours; especially when paired with proper masking and prep.

You’ll also find everything else you need to keep the job clean and manageable, including trays, liners, extension poles, ladders, and drop cloths.

Caulk, Sealants & Weather Protection

In Flagstaff, sealing gaps isn’t just about looks - it’s about protection.

Latex caulk works well for interior trim since it’s paintable and easy to clean. Kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior joints need silicone or hybrid sealants that resist moisture and temperature changes.

Proper caulking helps:

• Create clean, professional paint lines
• Prevent drafts and moisture intrusion
• Protect siding, windows, and doors from weather damage

Sealing before painting leads to longer-lasting results and fewer problems down the road. 

Cleaners & Solvents for Safer Cleanup

Cleanup matters just as much as application.

Degreasers remove residue that can interfere with paint adhesion. Mineral spirits are ideal for thinning oil-based paints and cleaning oil-based brushes. Low-odor and biodegradable options make indoor projects safer and more comfortable.

Specialty removers help clean adhesives, tape residue, old paint, and stains without damaging underlying surfaces, especially helpful during remodels or repainting older homes.

Wallpaper & Decorative Finishes

Looking for something beyond standard paint?

Wallpaper and decorative finishes add texture, pattern, and personality to a space. Proper wall prep - smoothing imperfections and sealing porous areas - helps prevent bubbles and lifting edges.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper offers easy installation and repositioning, making it a popular choice for rentals or quick updates. Traditional paste wallpaper provides a more permanent, polished look for feature walls or full rooms.

We also carry removal supplies that make replacing older wall coverings easier and less damaging to your walls.
