Zolatone: Distinctive Finishes for your home


While patiently waiting at the Hirshfield's store to get some paint mixed for a customer Matt came across this great information sheet on Zolatone. He passed it onto myself to see if it may be of interest to our followers on Blogger. In short I felt it was of interest so here I am writing about it.

Zolatone is a leader in creative and distinctive finishes but it is also environmentally safe. For homeowners this product is great for high traffic areas, it can also be applied to tile, block and metal. So for those of us who live in older homes with pink bathroom tile, you can use this product to tranform your bathroom at a fraction of the cost.

For our readers that have commerical properties you can transform entry ways, bathroom stalls, party rooms. The possiblities are endless.

For more information and video check out the Zolatone website: http://www.zolatone.com/ or go to the information on Hirshfields website at: www.hirshfields.com/contractors/zolatone

If you are interested in seeing this production applied in an area of your home or property please give M Carlson Painting a call. We would be more than happy to assist you in this process.

Paint to Sell


While reading the Sunday morning paper we came across a great article to all of you looking to sell your home. It has shown that by neutralizing all the colors of your home before placing it on the market not only avoids a strong reaction from a potiential buyer but can help in the photographs placed on-line. Many buyers look to your on-line pictures before making futher decisions.


The article goes on to give recommendations for which colors to use. It was in Sunday's 9/20 Homes section page H4.


Changing to neutral colors can sound expensive but when using only a few neutral colors throughout the house, this can greatly decrease in paint cost and preperation time when having it done professionally. M Carlson Painting would be happy to make this a cost effective change and will offer you a 10% discount on those who mention reading this blog and are looking to do 2 color change throughout the house.
Happy Selling!

Going Green

M Carlson Painting has starting working with a great new product and are very excited about it. It is a soda cleaning machine that uses baking soda to clean those areas that in the past have been used by sand blasting or pressure washing. By using baking soda you refrain for causing damage that sand and water may cause to those troubled areas. Even better soda cleaning is able to remove the 20% of paint that pressure washing can not and even better news, it is environmentally friendly. No chemicals go washing down our drains and it uses minimal water.



We are very excited about this, please feel free to call us at 952-933-9968 with more inquires about this product.
