Glidden Lifemaster -Interior Paint...

Remember when you were in kindergarden doing finger painting?Are you worried about painting the interior of your home because you are allergies or respiratory problems?  Does paint fumes bother you?  Or maybe you just don't like the smell of paint.  Ron's Painting can help you with this problem.  Since 1992, I have been using an interior paint that can help the homeowners of Southwest Florida.  It is a product called Lifemaster, and it is being offered to homeowners and contractors at Glidden Paint Stores in Fort Myers and Naples.
 
Many homeowners in the Fort Myers metro area may be more familiar with the paint brand name of Glidden Paint which carries the Lifemaster line of paint.  Lifemaster is a VOC-free paint and it is virtually odorless. They recommend using Lifemaster in hospitals, nursing homes, schools and hotels where low odor means rooms can be put back in service faster.  Even the flat paint used on the walls has great durability and scrubability. Lifemaster also has a semi-gloss enamel that can be used on doors, door casings, baseboards, crown moldings and bi-fold doors,   By using these durable VOC-friendly paints we can make the interior of your home and condo a little more environmentally friendly.

 Does your air conditioning really take a toll on your homes electric bill?  Are you getting the proper air flow out of your air conditioning vents?  Or are you loosing valuable cool air into your attic?  This is a problem many of us who live in Southwest Florida have.  I recently did  interior painting of a condo in Cape Coral.  When we removed the switch plates from around the electric outlets from the walls of this Cape Coral condo, there was more cold air coming from where the switch plates were removed then the air conditioning vents.  I notified the homeowner who lives in New York, and they were not surprised.  They had a new air conditioning unit installed by a well know company and it  they new they had a problem, but no one could find a problem.  I notified Mike Clark the owner of Synergy Air Conditioning, he then called the homeowner and with her blessing sent a Synergy Air Conditioning technician to the condo, went up in the attic to find that several of the ducts were loose blowing cold air into the attic.  That was some serious wasted energy.  Synergy Air Conditoning is well aware of how homeowners can save energy.  They have come up with a E-Book   "7 Ways to Lower your Energy Costs" which you can download from their website


NEW LEAD SAFETY RULES IN EFFECT APRIL 2010

If you are purchasing a home or condo built before 1978 there is a good chance there is lead based paint in the home.  Before doing any work on the home such as sanding, scraping, drilling holes in walls for air conditioning, plumbing, kitchen or bath remodeling or any other activity that creates dust, Ron's Painting recommends visiting the EPA website.  It will give you precautions to take and new Lead Rules that affect you.  Click on www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/renovation.htm.

 Florida Lead Testing is a company based in Estero that will test for lead on any home or business in Southwest Florida. Troy and Candi Hilton started this business to help consumers protect homeowners and families.  Lead based paint is very toxic and hazardous to your health, especially to children and older adults. If you are purchasing a home that was build before 1978 I highly recommend calling Florida Lead Testing to have the home inspected for lead based paint, especially if you have children.

As of May 25, 2010 Ron Rooker President of Ron's Painting is a Certified Renovator for Lead Paint.   Ron received his certification from American Management Resources Corp., Fort Myers, Florida.  (AMRC) 

The new law states ON OR AFTER APRIL 22, 2010, FIRMS WORKING IN PRE-1978 HOMES AND CHILD-OCCUPIED FACILITIES MUST BE CERTIFIED AND USE LEAD-SAFE WORK PRACTICES DURING RENOVATIONS.

Ron's Painting-Fort Myers, Sanibel, Captiva Island, BonitaRon's Painting-Fort Myers is not a certified lead abatement contractor.
