This was my 2nd order. The first order was applied to a brand new raw pine floor. The finish is ceramic like if not actually ceramic. It survived a New England winter in the backwoods of NH in a "non-yuppie-locals-only" environment with three cats, three dogs and two adults. I am talking "Redneck Style" tested. LOL!
My only advice is: If you're going to apply with a roller, use a Micro Fiber roller to avoid an "orange peel" finish. Thank you for an amazing non-toxic product.
I have always experienced serious reactions to standard paints (terrible migraines and asthma) and could not believe that Ecos paints actually wouldn't bother me. But we have painted almost my whole house with this miracle paint and I have had no bad response at all! It is such an amazing product that makes so many home improvements possible now. Thank you, Ecos!
Good news—my color cards came quickly.
Bad news—I love ALL of them!
TBH, even with that problem, I was able to eliminate two options, but the next step will definitely be to get samples. The response time was excellent—from receiving my cards to customer service checking in via email.
I have never used ECOS, but my impression so far is excellent. Looking forward to seeing samples on walls.
I recently order paint from your company because it is non-voc. I have chemical sensitivity so your paint is what I needed. The order came extremely fast. The only thing that surprised me was that it came in 5 gallon bags instead of pails. Maybe that was you website but I didn't notice it. I haven't had it painted yet so don't know about the coverage, color, etc.
I have used ECOS paint previously on a project for my grandson. His mother was very concerned about VOC's and asked me to use your paint because she had researched it and knew it was very safe for children. I liked it very much so when I built a desk for my wife, who is very sensitive to orders, I decided that ECOS paint was the best alternative. I just finished putting on a second coat of paint and it came out perfect. A great product that I will use again when I do another project.
I would never buy from any other paint company. Their paints are so high quality and the light lavender color I used went over NEON blue in less than 2 coats, without a primer! Highly recommend as an interior designer.
I really liked the paint samples you send me I liked only one of the paint samples I got to paint my bathroom with thanks for the samples it will make my job easier now and the color I will paint the bathroom.
I got regular paint to paint the whole inside of my house years ago and got very sick from the voc toxic fumes. I found this ECOS paint online and ordered enough to do my whole house. Not once did I get sick! I wanted to buy some more of the same paint for touch ups and projects. Excellent quality paint. Looks beautiful. Absolutely the best paint and stain! ECCOS Paints has a lifetime customer!
The paint arrived exactly as planned. Customer service was great in answering questions i had. I searched for a very long time for paint for our chicken coop being completely new to raising chickens. After all the energy and work we put into our 6 chicks I did not want them to die from pecking off peeling paint. I will let you know how it turns out.
I have used many eco friendly products before but this one is exceptional. It stirs without clumping it glides on when painting and it dries significantly quickly. Thanks I cannot wait to use the floor paint!
First time ordering from EcosPaints. It was so easy to order using the color match. They have so many great resources, a blog and even specialty paints like ones specific to pet dwellings. I received the paints no more than a week after ordering. I'll be painting this weekend and can't wait!
We have had so many issues at our house because of the rain and are having to paint a few different rooms. Because we will be home and especially because we have two little ones we didn't want to settle for anything with even low VOCs and chemicals that could disrupt their growing bodies. The paint arrived on time and it color matched to the sample I got for another brand at the Home Depot. Only thing is it was delivered not upright like the box suggested.
Very easy to order samples. They come in small amounts so you're not wasting much if you don't like the color, yet there's plenty of paint to do a large area to make sure you like the color. One suggestion I would make is if the shopping cart had a 'wish list' or a 'save for later' section. That would make things a tad better, otherwise no complaints regarding paint quality, paint quantity, & I have had no shipping issues.
Parrots love to explore with their beaks- and restoring an old cage with a lot of surface rust was already nerve wracking without considering how toxic paint could be. Rust was scary enough! But after removing that the cost of the paint was still well worth it. Despite painting indoors due to the winter weather, there was no smell but it is durable and looks fantastic. I haven't actually had much issue with chipping and it dries pretty fast which is nice. A quart of primer and two colors went a long way... even with several coats. Thank you for giving me peace of mind that my parrot enclosure is as safe as I can possibly make it! I attached a photo without the main doors on. And a stock photo of the type of paint I used. Shipping was fast and the paint was well insulated and protected from damage.
I wanted a non toxic stain for the floating shelf my dad is building me. I was happy to find this company but when my dad opened the lid and put the stain on a piece of tester wood, it came out looking like whiteish/pinkish paint! Not like stain at all. I will be returning this product and hope to get a full refund.
I'm always happy with my purchases from ECOS. Fast & friendly service. Sample sizes are perfect to try out before you buy or to use as touch up over existing paint.
Everything is good so far...started priming my chicken coop and love that there isn't a heavy odor! Great coverage, but I did underestimate how much I need, will be ordering more :)
Incredible finish on all three of the paint products that I purchased. The eggshell is beautiful and it really goes on nice and smooth! Service was fast and efficient - I received my products within 4 days of ordering.
Thanks!
I'll grant you there is no traditional paint smell, but this paint DOES STINK. It smells like rotten vegetable matter or something in the compost bin. After weeks of the paint drying it still smells. Everyone in my house agrees that the room we paint with this stuff stinks. My bedroom feels gross now. Also, I don't love that it came packaged with foam padding. This packaging is not biodegradable and not recyclable. I hate the thought of huge amounts of this foam being used by Ecos. Frankly, this feels like just another greenwashing company that doesn't really care about the environment.
I wanted to patch up my midwest deluxe critter nation cage. I used their pet friendly paint. They helped me find a paint that was close enough it wouldn't stand out and shipped it to me in a reasonable amount of time. Would buy from them again.
Answer: I was looking for a low VOC product without any flammable stuff in it and ECOS was the only one i found
Answer: It is absolutely a fantastic small business - please use them

Dear Becky,
Thank you for contacting us.
We are sorry that you had an issue with the stain.
It is not possible to see the "pinkish" color from the photo, but the opacity of the stain comes from it being applied too heavily.
The Pickling White color is used to age the wood, making it look a little bleached.
However, if you apply too much of the stain, it is possible to turn the wood completely white.
We hope that this helps.
Happy Painting!
Your ECOS Team
