Amazing customer service that saved my small condo from looking like a nursery!

I stumbled into Colorhouse because it was only a few blocks away from my condo. What I found inside was a passionate company that has created an amazingly environmentally friendly product. To top it all off they had one of the most customer friendly teams I've ever met. I am not an experienced painter nor was I attempting to do a very large project but the Colorhouse team was truly amazing in helping me through the process. Lynn Morgan in customer service was my panting angel and if she hadn't guided me through the process my entire place would have looked like a kids nursery! I'm so please with how the project turned out and I couldn't be more thankful for Lynn and the Colorhouse team! I definitely will pass you details to anyone in need of an amazing project and great customer service. Thanks again! Oliver

Colorhouse is the best!

What's not to like about Colorhouse Paints. They are eco friendly, come in an amazing array of colors for any palette.They are a dream to work with.Their customer service is top notch and are more than happy to help. I really can't say enough good things about the product and the company. These are the best paints on the market and we are proud to use them on our products.

Great quality paint!!!

I'm a one coat paint snob. So I like good quality paint. Wasn't sure at first if this was going to be it, since I was going with a lighter paint over a mid-blue color. But it dried beautifully and only had to do a few touch ups over some of the brush strokes. The quality is really outstanding. Will definitely be using again.

Great Paints and Great Service

I've really enjoyed working with Colorhouse paints in my apartment. I also appreciate their "color nerds" steering me in the right direction!

Great coverage and no smell!

By far the best paint I've purchased. I recently purchased Aspire .01 (a very light yellow) for a wall in our bedroom. The walls are a dark brown and I was concerned I needed primer as well before putting on the Colorhouse paint. After talking with their Color Help team, they said primer wouldn't be necessary but I would need a couple coats. Skeptical but trusting, I painted the wall without primer. I was excited to see two coats covered the wall easily and covered the dark brown without issue. A bonus was that there was hardly any smell while painting, and when it dried you couldn't tell the room had been painted at all! I've painted many rooms with other brands in the past and have always needed to air out the room for days to get the fumes out. Not with Colorhouse! I definitely recommend Colorhouse paint to anyone.

Hi! On the first page of your site it says the paints are “self priming” but then when I look at the colors it says to purchase primer separate.

I’m painting my business walls, with an environmentally friendly desire. First time painting! Please give me any tips you can!

Thanks

  Hi Stephanie,
  Colorhouse paint is self-priming for previously painted surfaces in good condition. When applying to new drywall or over surfaces previously painted with oil paint, prime with Colorhouse Multi-Purpose Primer before painting.

Currently in my great room ( living, dining, kitchen) I have Stone 4 sills,baseboards and jambs with Water 5 accents (doors and built in bookcase), the walls are Leaf 3.
I want to repaint the walls keeping the lighter color and paint my kitchen cabinets, not the Water or Stone, but a darker maybe gray hue?????
What do you suggest for the walls and cabinets?

- Kim

  Hi Jan! Try BISQUE .05 for walls and METAL .05 for cabinets. And send us pics when you are done painting!

Amazing customer service that saved my small condo from looking like a nursery!
