“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.”

What can you do to improve indoor air quality? According to the E.P.A., indoor air quality is one of the top 5 health risk issues in the United States. Why? Because the materials that are used in the making of your home and workspaces have Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). They can have a profound affect upon you. When VOC’s are released into the air, they react with natural sunlight to form off-gassing, smog and toxic ozone contributions. Non-toxic paints are particularly recommended for expectant mothers and families with small children.
