Painting is one of the least expensive but most dramatic ways to change up a room. You don’t need to buy all new furniture or bedding to make a big impact. Paint a wall or faux finish a design or cartoon character on your child’s wall. You’ll be glad you did!

Are you wondering what kind of colors provoke feelings, create excitement or make you feel calm and relaxed?

Warm Colors – attract attention, create excitement, promote cheerfulness, and stimulate action.
Cool Colors – Relax and refresh people, promote peace and quiet, and encourage concentration.
Light Colors – Make objects seem lighter in weight, make areas seem more spacious, tend to give people a psychological lift and reflect light effectively.
Dark Colors – Make objects seem heavier, make areas appear smaller, and absorb light.
Bold Colors – Attract the eye and create excitement.
Whites – Reflect more light than any other color, denote cleanliness, and unite separate spaces.

A message about lead paint and the new EPA Mandate

We want to advise our customers of the new EPA mandated Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) program that went into effect on 4/22/10 and updated on 7/1/10. The program aims to protect against lead-based paint hazards associated with renovation, repair and painting activities. This program mandates that contractors working in homes and child-occupied facilities built before 1978 be trained and certified in lead-safe work practices. We assure you that Castino has been “lead certified” and we are following all of the EPA rules and regulations. Our Certification Number is NAT-19937-1. As of 7/1/10, homeowners cannot opt out of this mandate. Castino has the right to refuse any job dealing with lead paint. Non-compliance carries a $32,500 fine for contractors. Please call us with any questions or concerns.
