The paint is high quality and very low odor. I am not ultra sensitive to smells/chemicals but 1) I care about environmental health and my toddler's health and 2) the experience of painting is SO much better when you aren't inhaling fumes for hours or even days. I have ordered about 6 gallons of paint so far. One of them was mixed incorrectly and the customer service was fabulous. They even have an after hours answering service and responded to my email within hours. They overnighted a corrected paint gallon at no charge.

So we friended a half feral cat during the pandemic and when the weather got cold decided to build him a little home of his own in our backyard. We wanted a weather proof paint that wasn't harmful for animals. I chose the color singing in the rain and it beautifully blends into the Brooklyn concrete jungle. Paint dried faster than promised. We did two layers. Photo is after first layer. Nice consistency and very slight smell that reminded me of watercolors. Not strong at all. Overall excellent product. We were a bit hesitant for the price but then again I'm all for buying quality products that are ethically made. This ticks all the boxes.

My husband spent about 18 hours of time, 1 gallon of primer, and 3 gallons of yellow paint to come out with a blotchy, horrible looking room. We are not strangers to painting. We have painted 5 different rooms in our house before this small nursery. We have used yellow paint in the past. We have never had such a bad experience! This room, like all the others we have painted before had white walls. Prior to painting, we cleaned the walls as we always do. We did not apply primer (we have never had to apply primer with any other paint). The first coat of paint should have been a red flag. First off, it was clear that the calculator used on the website was off. We were going to need much more paint than the website had suggested even for this small nursery. On top of that the walls were - how do I describe it - gross looking. They looked dirty. I actually sent an email to customer service and they explained that with this yellow color, primer was a necessity. They were very responsive, and even added a gallon of primer to our order. (Positive customer service experience is the reason I left 2 stars instead of 1.) A week later when the primer and more paint arrived, my husband applied the primer. It looked GREAT the coverage was GREAT. None of the streaky yellow showed through, and it looked better than the white walls we painted over. Then over the next week he painted 6 more coats of the yellow paint on top of the primer. We are out of paint now, but the walls are still streaky. Not only that but the color of the paint, even in the lighter spots is about 3 shades darker than what we ordered. We compared it to both the swatch and the color on the lid of the paint can, and though they are the same shade our walls are MUCH darker. Now we are out $240 and will need to repaint the room with some other brand. I'll probably have to do it while pregnant because my husband is done wasting 18 hours of his life. (So much for saving us from "harmful fumes".)

I purchased this paint because I wanted a safe paint for my baby's crib. The company sent me the wrong color card so when I actually bought the paint (thinking it would be the same as the color card), and mailed it to my woodworkers house, it was the wrong color! I wasted almost $200 and just settled for it because I really needed my baby's crib done. I contacted customer service on a Saturday so they were closed but the guy I spoke to from their answering service asked a series of questions and assured me that someone would call me back which they NEVER did! I will not buy paint from this company again.

EcosPaints has been my go-to supplier for non-toxic varnish for my exterior wood projects. This summer I spent my extended quarantine hand-sanding about 600 square feet of 2 docks. And I used their Satin Exterior Varnish. I'm based North of Seattle, and I think they are based on the East Coast: wouldn't know it based on the delivery speed. They make the product on order, so to make, ship and get it to me quickly, it matters. Plus, they follow up with shipping updates, and check in after it got delivered.
They are my go-to producer, really appreciate the accountability and the professionalism in a time where both seem rare.
