Porter Cable 7800 Wall Sander Review

Why Eco Star Painting Uses A Dustless Wall Sander One of the everyday tasks for interior painters in Calgary is sanding walls. Many years ago we used to perform this job the old fashioned way with a Pole Sander and a lot of elbow grease. It can be quite a physical and tiresome activity if…

How To Test For Moisture In Wood Before Painting or Staining

By Ted Rinshed

Is It Safe to Stain? Have you ever wondered if a wood surface is dry enough to paint after a rainy couple of days? It may be dry to the touch but a wood substrate (or surface) needs to be technically dry before applying a coating —-or it will eventually fail! Don’t rush to paint until you…

We would highly recommend Eco Star Painting to anyone. Ted was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and paid full attention to the smallest details. The end result was a total transformation of our deck and it looks great! The cost was very reasonable as well.

Ted was a pleasure to help us paint our condo. The quote was detailed and accurate. The price was very reasonable and very happy with professional work and clean up. Thank you Ted!

Ted painted the interior of our home we purchased in chestermere. He was very helpful through the entire process with his knowledge and experience. I had quotes from 5 different painting contractors for the job. Ted not only came in with a very reasonable quote but was very helpful and professional when he came to do the quote. I was in the middle of demolition and he offered sound advice. The job went seamlessly. I added to the work scope after the initial quote and he once again covered the work with a very reasonable price and help guide me through the paint selection. I will be in contact with him again when it’s time to paint the exterior. I would highly recommend eco star to everyone in the Calgary area. The finished product turned out better then I could have imagined. Ted takes a lot of pride in his work and it definitely shows in the finished product.

Ted did a great job with my new apartment. I can tell a huge difference between the areas he did and didn't paint (I didn't get the closets and second bathroom painted). The areas he painted look fantastic. A lot of work was put in to perfect the surface of the walls. He was easy to communicate with and also provided a quality consultation and an accurate and easy-to-understand quote well in advance. Great value compared with the cost of other providers. Thank you Ted!

Ted recently painted the exterior of our late 50's bungalow. Ted and his crew were excellent. Their attention to detail at the prep stage was flawless and was then followed by two applications of elastomeric paint to the stucco on all four sides of the house which went without a hitch and provided beautiful results. I would strongly recommend Ted and crew for any painting related project, you won't be disappointed. Ted also provides a very comprehensive quote profile that leaves no opportunity for confusion or mistakes, very impressive.

Eco Star Painting did a fantastic job! They painted our bungalow house, a 3 stall car shed, smaller barn, and 3 animal shelters. Power washing, scraping, filling holes, and caulking windows; they did it all! Everything looks great! I would definitely recommend Eco Star Painting!!

I HIGHLY recommend Ted and his employees at Eco Star Painting. When we purchased a new home Ted went over and above our expectations with filling and covering holes in the walls, screw pops in the ceilings, gaps in the baseboards and painting the entire house including all the ceilings. The transformation of our house was absolutely gorgeous. I recommend Ted to everyone looking for a great painter.

Eco Star Painting was prompt at developing an extremely attractive quote and started work almost immediately after I signed the contract. My entire house was painted in less than 2 weeks. The painter was extremely professional and helpful. He regrouped when my designer increased the scope of work and completed the extra work immediately. This is the third time I have engaged this painting firm and will do so in future. It is reassuring such levels of professionalism are available in Calgary.

They worked around our schedule to ensure they are coming at non- work hours, they used high quality paint, cleaned the area after work. lThey always double check with us to ensure we are happy with the job. We find them very reliable, honest and very professional in their area of work.We highly recommend them. :) .

Ted did an excellent job! The amount of time he spent prepping the area to be painted (which was almost my entire home) was outstanding. And the painting looks incredible. I would highly recommend Ted/Eco Star Painting to anyone. You won't be disappointed! Thank you so much Ted!
