Diversity painting Inc.

We know which ECO paints work best for each project. Let us share our knowledge so you can have a healthier living and working environment.

This page covers some of the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).

Can I afford to use Certified Green Paint?
Yes, you can afford to paint with Certified Green Paint. The price difference between some Certified Green Paints and conventional paints is minimal. It depends on how “Eco-Green” your needs are. Most Eco-Green paints cost $30-$55 per gallon.
 Is Certified Green Paint durable enough for our home or Business?
Yes, especially now since many of the paint manufacturers have released their new formulas for their Eco-Green lines.  There has not been a better time than now to begin using the Eco-Green line of paints. As a consumer, you are now benefiting from a more durable, less toxic and lower odor product for use in your home or business.  We at Diversity Painting have done our homework about which Eco-Green paints work best for your projects. We still give a one-year guarantee on all interior surfaces painted using Eco-paint. This is the same guarantee we offer for painting with non-eco-paints.

Do we still paint using regular conventional paint?
Yes, we will gladly paint your project using the conventional paint material of your choice.

Are Certified Green Paint’s odor free?
No, I have been testing the different eco-paints and so far, they all have some odor. The odor is considerably less than conventional paint but there is still some odor.  

What is the difference between Certified Green Paint and conventional paint?
The main difference between Certified Green Paints and conventional paints are the levels of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) added to the paint. The only Certified Green Paints that Diversity Painting applies have met Green Seal Certification or approved by the Master Painter Institute and Leeds.

What’s the down side of high VOC’s in paint?
Paints with a higher volume of VOC’s (conventional paints) emit larger amounts of solvent toxic gases into the air and have been known to cause eye, nose and throat irritations. These VOC’s do not dissipate quickly after the painting is completed but can continue to release gases for months after it dries which can lead to poor indoor air quality.
