OUR NAME

The Blue Moth is native to North Carolina and an important indicator of air quality. Blue Moths are mirrors to their surroundings. Light reflects off their wings to create color, and they interact with that light! We collaborate with our clients in a similar manner.

DONALD McGHIE

My vision for Blue Moth is to offer my clients opportunities to transform the look and feel of their homes and businesses while causing as little harm to the environment as possible.  With a background in commercial and fine arts, and extensive experience in internal and external custom painting and restoration, I bring a creative touch to any environment.

EARTH FRIENDLY PAINTING
Reduce the impact that painting your space will have on human and environmental health by making informed product choices.

BUILDING A HOME OUT OF A HOUSE

Blue Moth Painting provides painting and design services that are considerate to your health and happiness. We listen, and enrich your living and working environments by offering sustainable options, creative ideas, technical knowledge and meticulous work.

I just had Donald McGhie paint my kitchen cabinets, and I’m thrilled with the results. First and most importantly, they look great. Second, he was awesome to work with: always prompt in showing up as planned as well as in responding. Donald is very friendly and knowledgeable about the work, and he was efficient, disrupting my life and kitchen usage as little as possible. My cabinets were quite the task (old, treated, dark wood that I wanted white). The transformation is fabulous; I’m so pleased.

WHY BLUE MOTH?

 
 

CHOICE
Choosing a painting contractor who is environmentally minded will ensure that the money you spend will support the health and well-being of our planet. 

 

HEALTH AND SAFETY

We prefer to use naturally derived, non-toxic, no/low VOC paints and stains but understand that these products may not always be appropriate.

 

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

We minimize the waste that is created from your project. Paper, plastics, and metal are reduced, reused or recycled when possible.

 

WATER PROTECTION

When cleaning our equipment and your space, we conserve water to the best of our ability. We minimize paint run-off by choosing paints, rollers and brushes that are as environmentally passive as possible.

GETTING AROUND

Getting around takes more than wings. To say the least, we have a much larger carbon footprint than a moth! Blue Moth buys a ‘carbon-offset footprint’ to compensate for the damage of using gas powered vehicles.
