What do I do with leftover paint?2025-10-08T12:25:57-06:00

There is a state fee that’s charged for each gallon of paint purchased in Colorado that allows you to take unused paint to any paint store for recycling. A pro tip here is to always keep at least one gallon (in the original container, and in a conditioned space) of each paint used in your home, clearly marked with where each one was used. When you choose to do a small project or touch-ups you will have what you need. Also, if you put your home on the market, the new owners will always want to have the old paint on hand for identification purposes.

How do I select colors?2025-10-08T12:25:57-06:00

The right colors combine personal tastes, current trends, and the style of your home. Choosing the right colors can be tough, so we offer a free consultation to all our clients. Of course, we don’t just recommend colors based on what we think looks good. We focus the consultation on you, your taste, and your reasons for painting. For example, you may love a color, but it may not be the best option for an imminent home sale.

How long will it take to paint my house?2025-10-08T12:25:57-06:00

Can you match the color of something I already have?2025-10-08T12:25:57-06:00
