Hi John, at Paint Calgary we actually do not markup the cost of paint. We typically use Quali-Kote or ProMar 200 for our painting projects which are both Sherwin-Williams products. We like using Quali-Kote as it is a lower VOC product that stands up very well for residential projects. For customers who want a zero VOC paint, we use a product called Harmony which is also a Sherwin- Williams product. In regards to additional pricing for eco friendly service, labour wise there is no difference. We purchase Quali-Kote low sheen for $23 a gallon and Harmony for $30 a gallon, therefore on a 1000 square foot project you additional cost to ensure zero VOC for your home and family would be no more than an additional $50 More information about our eco painting services. in addition to information of enviromental toxins, can be found at http://www.greenpainters.ca

Hi Janette, you can visit out ECO website at http://www.greenpainters.ca for information about Sherwin Williams ECO line. As for small, no VOC and 1 coat of paint? GreenSure is a zeo VOC coating we can use. However one coat will depend on the type and colour of paint you have now. Colour changes do require two coats for a professional finish.

Hello,
I have chemical sensitivity and know for sure that the “Aura” paint does not bother me. Could you tell me about your eco friendly brands and how it compares, i.e. smell, no VOL and only 1 coat of paint required??
Many thanks,
Janette Engen
