Our Healthy Practices

Many of our clients seek out our expertise for the best personal and environmental health practices on painting and home improvement projects. We work with you to decide what the best products and work methods are for your project. We provide healthier alternatives to the standard painting and painting-related services. There is so much more to being a healthy company than using a can of paint that has the words “green” “eco” and “low or no voc” printed on the label. Healthy Painting is a certified lead paint business; our project managers are certified lead paint renovators who are trained and certified through the Renovation, Repair and Painting Program.
