Hi, I’m Diane Roehm—founder and lead specialist at PaintMold. With over a decade of hands-on experience and formal training from the Finishing Trades Institute of New York, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering surface preparation, paint chemistry, and architectural finishes.

I created PaintMold to cut through the noise and deliver honest, evidence-based paint reviews and practical design guides. Whether you’re troubleshooting peeling paint, choosing the perfect undertone, or tackling a whole-home refresh, my mission is to provide reliable, trade-tested advice you can trust for your home.
