FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Are non-toxic paints more expensive than conventional paints?
A. Since more and more people are choosing non-toxic paints, the overall costs are now equal to, and in some cases, only slightly higher than, conventional paints.

Q. Can you help with other things besides painting, like wall and ceiling repairs, or carpentry?
A. We do most wall and ceiling repairs and carpentry.

Q. Will I be sacrificing quality if I choose a non-toxic paint over a conventional paint?
A. This is probably our most frequently asked question. The short answer is 'No'. We choose paint according to three basic attributes: hide-ability, wear ability, and scrub-ability. Hide-ability is the ability of the paint to cover the underlying surface. Wear ability refers to the durability of the painted surface when exposed to normal wear-and-tear. And, scrub-ability is simply how well the paint withstands abrasion from regular cleaning. In all three criteria, the paint we use is exceptional ­ by our standards and those of our clients.
