Drywall repairs can range from simple fixes—like patching a small hole from a wall anchor—to major issues such as water damage or structural concerns. Knowing when to tackle a project yourself and when to call a professional can save you time, money, and frustration.

When planning a home painting project, you may come across the term Low VOC paint and wonder what it means and whether it’s worth considering.

VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds—chemicals released into the air as paint dries. Traditional paints can emit these fumes for weeks or even months, contributing to strong odors and reduced indoor air quality. Low VOC paints, by contrast, contain significantly fewer of these compounds—typically under 50 grams per liter—making them a healthier choice for your home and family.

Many homeowners assume all painting companies are the same, which makes the lowest bid tempting. However, choosing solely based on price often leads to a less-than-ideal experience.

At A State of Paint, we recommend collecting three bids from companies with a solid online presence, strong Google reviews, and verified credibility. Not every review needs to be five stars, but over time customer feedback paints a clear picture of a company’s consistency, quality, and overall customer experience.

When updating your home’s interior, repainting the walls and trim is often top of mind—but what about the ceilings? Many homeowners skip them because they “look fine,” yet this small detail can make a huge difference.

Is your kitchen or bathroom looking a little dated? Refinishing your cabinets is one of the most cost-effective ways to bring new life to your space—without the steep cost of replacing them. Done properly, cabinet refinishing can provide years of durability while giving your home a stunning, updated look.
