We just reached the painting phase of our home renovation. We’re using zero-VOC paints.

One thing to watch for is that in some brands, the base paint may be zero VOC, but the materials they use to add color can be loaded with VOCs. So it’s important to be sure to buy a paint/tint system that’s totally zero VOC.

It’s also important to read reviews. Not all paints are created equal, and I found some very good info out there.
