Commitment To
Our Environment
We care a great deal about the health of both our customers and our painters.
Dust is History!
For years we have received extraordinary feedback from our customers on how clean and healthy we keep their homes during and after each of our projects. To be able to achieve that, one of the things we have implemented is the use of HEPA Certified Equipment into our already excellent service. HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air. We believe that our customers and painters deserve the best and when it comes to sanding preparation it could not be any different.
Festool HEPA Dust Extractor
HEPA Dust Extractor
This is a sander machine that absorbs the dust while sanding the walls. These units can quickly and quietly remove large amounts of debris, with minimal noise distractions.
B-Air Hepa Air Scrubber
B-Air HEPA Air Scrubber
This filtration system quickly removes harmful particles such as mold, pet dander, dust, pollen, drywall dust, dust mites, and odor. The HEPA air filter removes at least 99.97% of all airborne particles greater than 0.3 micrometers in diameter from the air that passes through it. It is designed to create cleaner air in any environment.
More and more children (and adults) suffer from allergies and asthma than ever, and the dust and particulates brought into the home through a remodeling project can be damaging to the health of the air in the household. Protecting the quality of the air you breathe is one of the most important steps you can take to keep your family save during a renovation.
Silica dust is created by sanding your walls, and exposure to Silica can cause silicosis, lung damage, tuberculosis, lung cancer, kidney disease, and breathing difficulties that are similar to asthma. It’s important to note that in a few rare cases silicosis has been shown to form in the lungs in as little as a few weeks of exposure to extremely high levels of dust content. There is a risk of more serious health problems developing for people who smoke or have pre-existing sinus or respiratory conditions.
Most contractors know these problems, but might not realize how much dust is really harmful. So let’s do what we do the right way.
As an option, we also offer Wet Sanding, please ask for more information.
No Dust. No Water. No Problem!
We use Zero VOC Paint
Almost everything about eco-friendly house paints relies on Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs is reason for that strong stench of paint which has the brain cell killing power of glue. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), exposure to VOC can result numerous amount of problems from uncomfortable symptoms to severe health conditions. VOCs can cause nose and throat discomfort, skin irritation, headaches, allergic skin reaction, nausea, difficulty in breathing, fatigue and as well as serious diseases like cancer, kidney damage, liver damage, damage to central nervous system (including the brain). The EPA has found that pollutants can often be between two and five times higher inside of a house than outside of it.
