Other than taking a bit longer to turn it around I am pleased. Danny Holder is a good guy to deal with

I just want to say thank you ecos paints. Your paint is the best hands down. And so is your Customer service. I used to hate painting but then I got your paint- absolutely NO smell. My 3 year old helps me paint and my 7 month old is in the same room. I can't say enough- you guys are just the best. I love you.

This paint is everything they say it should be. Covers nicely, looks great, but the one thing that it does not do well is work as a chalkboard. Granted Chalk works excellent on it, but Chalk Pens do not. Even when erased (damp wet cloth) you can see an imprint of whatever you wrote using a chalk pen. Otherwise, an excellent product.

After researching paints and discovering Ecos Paints and their non toxic, VOC free promise I knew this was the paint for our family. We have a four year old, 4 dogs, 2 cats and I'm 39 weeks pregnant with our second daughter. I loved that I could be in the room as my husband painted our daughter's bedroom, the nursery & our bedroom without fear of harming my unborn child. The paint color matching was perfect! The colors look nice, cover well & we couldn't be happier with the results!

I chose ECOS paint and varnish because I wanted products that would be safe for my small children and baby. The paint spread very well and had a barely detectable odor. I felt very confident in knowing my children weren't being exposed to chemicals, and the paint match was great. We did have trouble with the wood varnish on our refinished wood floors- it just didn't hold up to scuffing as well as we hoped. However, I was still satisfied with my experience, and plan on purchasing from them for future projects.

It dries fast, I don't get dizzy or sick, and it works well!

Paint is first class; coverage is excellent; shipping was timely. Great service.

We purchased stain (Spiced Pecan) and Satin Varnish from ECOS Paints and refinished our hard wood floors. The water based stain color is lovely, very warm toned which is what we wanted on our floor with dark kitchen cabinets. A couple of things made this a not 5 star experience. Shipping speed was a bit slow (not really the companies fault). I contacted someone in the office to ask about the average time and was told typically about 3 business days to where I live. We ordered before they opened Friday and it didn't arrive until a week later on the Monday (Thanksgiving was in between so that more than likely accounted for some of the delay). Had we realized that we would have selected a faster shipping speed. The stain dries very quickly when you apply it. It is very watery (my husband started calling it paint). You have maybe 2 minutes for any sort of touch up or blending so be very careful when you apply this to do so evenly. Practice technique!!! There really is very minimal smell with the stain. I won't say no odor as I could smell it (but I am pregnant and have a crazy sense of smell). I was very impressed after my husband tested some oil based stain from the store with the difference. The varnish is another story however. It goes one white and dries clear...this was very helpful for application and it went on very easily. It does smell however, rather strongly. We are on a tight deadline and my husband applied varnish before we went to bed, woke up in the middle of the night to reapply, and then woke up early to apply before work. When I left our room, the smell was very strong. As it is December in Utah I had to wait awhile to open windows. The application instructions do not make it clear that you do need to sand between stain and varnish. We had to get on the website and chat with a very helpful support person. This step is not included in the application instructions. We were told that we could sand in between all varnish layers or not with a fine grain. There is a mis-sentence in the stain application instructions. It says that you can re-apply stain in half an hour but it takes 2-4 hours to dry. You have to wait that 2-4 hours to re-apply stain according to the support person. My main recommendation is the stain and varnish is amazing, but the application instructions need a little revising and clarification. We found that some of the instructions on the website contradicted what was on the can (Stir - do not shake, then shake well before using). I also wish that we could post pictures of the finished product somewhere that linked. It took me forever to find any sort of pictures of colors and such. This was a wonderful product! I was happy to find something that was so environmentally friendly and safe. I really love the color and am excited to see my whole house put together and how this holds up over the next several years!
