We leave it better than we found it
That new paint smell is not nostalgia. It is off gassing.
Volatile organic compounds are the solvents that evaporate as paint cures. They are what you smell, and they keep releasing into your home long after the wall feels dry. For anyone with asthma, allergies or chemical sensitivity, and for babies and pets who are closer to the floor and breathe faster, that matters.
The good news is that modern zero and low VOC paints are genuinely excellent. Ten years ago going low VOC meant accepting poor coverage and a soft finish. Today the best of them cover, level and scrub as well as anything on the shelf.
- Zero VOC and low VOC interior products as the default option
- Greenguard Gold certified lines available on request
- Vacuum assisted sanding to keep dust out of the air
- Leftover paint, rinse water and materials disposed of responsibly
Low VOC is the paint. The rest is the process.
Choosing a cleaner product is only part of it. How the job is run decides what actually ends up in your air.
Ventilation plan
We manage airflow through the work area with fans and open windows where weather allows, so curing vapors move out of the house instead of settling into it.
Certified products
Zero VOC bases with low VOC colorants, and Greenguard Gold certified lines when indoor air quality is the top priority.
Dust control
Vacuum assisted sanders and containment on any drywall or cabinet prep, because sanding dust is often the bigger irritant in a repaint.
Mildew and stain handling
We address the source of mildew and stains rather than sealing them behind a coating, which is both healthier and longer lasting.
Responsible disposal
Leftover material, empty cans and rinse water are handled per Colorado guidelines. Nothing goes down your storm drain.
Safe scheduling
Nurseries, kids rooms and allergy sensitive spaces get scheduled so there is maximum cure time before the room is occupied again.
What low VOC does and does not mean.
Zero is not literally zero
Zero VOC generally means under five grams per liter in the base. Adding deep colorants can raise it. We tell you the real number for the color you pick.
Durability is not the tradeoff
Premium low VOC acrylics scrub, resist blocking and hold color as well as traditional products. You are not giving up performance to breathe easier.
Still let it cure
Low odor does not mean instantly inert. We still recommend giving a nursery or bedroom a few days of ventilation before it is used full time.
The families who care most about this usually have a reason.
Parents painting a nursery before a due date. Someone managing asthma or long term chemical sensitivity. Households with birds, which are extremely vulnerable to airborne solvents. People who simply do not want to sleep in a room that smells like a hardware store for a week.
If any of that is you, say so at the estimate. We will build the whole scope around it, from product selection to which days we run the sander.
- Nurseries and kids rooms
- Asthma, allergy and chemical sensitivity
- Homes with birds and small pets
- Anyone who wants to sleep in the room that night
Frequently asked questions
Still not sure? Call (720) 629-9129 and talk to a real person who has actually held a brush.
VOC stands for volatile organic compound. These are the solvents in paint that evaporate as it dries and cures, and they are what you smell. Lower VOC content means fewer of those compounds released into your indoor air.
Slightly, at the product level. Premium zero VOC lines typically run a few dollars more per gallon than their conventional equivalents, which on a typical interior repaint is a small percentage of the total. Most clients find it well worth it.
Yes, when you use a premium line. Modern zero and low VOC acrylics scrub, resist stains and hold their color as well as conventional products. Cheap paint performs badly whether it is low VOC or not.
With a zero VOC product and good ventilation, many families are comfortable the following night. For a nursery we recommend giving it two to three days with the windows open when weather allows, simply out of caution.
Exterior coatings have different requirements and generally carry somewhat higher VOC levels because they have to withstand weather. We can specify the lowest VOC exterior products that will still perform in Colorado conditions.
Yes. Several of the lines we carry are Greenguard Gold certified, which is a third party standard for low chemical emissions in indoor environments. Ask for it at the estimate and we will specify it.
We leave you a labeled touch up container for each color, and the remainder is disposed of or recycled according to Colorado regulations. Paint and rinse water never go into a storm drain or a household trash can wet.
