Specialized Eco Painting in New York

The perfect paint job for the New York way of life.

Sometimes a new color is all it takes

When a room feels off, it’s not always the furniture or the clutter, sometimes it’s the walls themselves. The color’s outdated, the vibe feels heavy. You might not notice it right away, but you feel it. That’s where we come in.

We offer eco painting across NYC that doesn’t just cover up old color—it shifts the entire feel of a room. We use low-VOC, non-toxic paints that keep your air healthy, your mind at ease, and your space aligned with how you actually want to live. Whether you’re customizing a new apartment or finally ditching the landlord beige, we help you create a space that feels unmistakably yours, without compromising on the things that matter.

Eco painting that resets your New York home

New York apartments are tough. They’re tight, layered with history, and not always easy to breathe in. We’ve seen firsthand how eco paint can completely refresh a space, making it lighter, brighter, and easier to breathe in. 

Here’s what we’re about:

This isn’t industrial painting. It’s personal. It’s a quiet, careful transformation that feels right the second you walk in.

What we bring to the table

We’re not here for surface shine or quick fixes. We’re here to truly elevate your home in the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, or another part of NYC. So, here’s what we bring to our eco painting services:

  • A steady hand and years of experience. We’ve painted all kinds of NYC spaces—tight, tricky, and everything in between. We know how to get it right.
  • A neat and quiet workflow. We don’t take over your home or your schedule. We move through with care, and we leave things better than we found them.
  • Healthier materials, always. No harsh fumes, no sketchy chemicals, no danger to your loved ones or the planet.
  • An eye for the details that matter. We pay attention to light, layout, and how color actually lives in your home.

How eco painting became part of our mission

Painting wasn’t part of the original plan. But after spending so much time inside people’s homes in Tribeca, Brooklyn, Manhattan, SoHo, and other parts of New York, it became impossible to ignore what was left behind. Not dirt, but dullness. Rooms that felt unfinished no matter how clean they were. We’d step back after a job and see it: the lighting was right, the floors gleamed, but the walls still carried the weight of years gone by. And we knew we could do something about it.

We already know how to move through a space with care—we’ve been doing it for years. We just needed the right team to take it further. So we built it. Professional painters who know how to prep properly, choose the right finish, and leave a room feeling brand new, because that’s what we do best.

How it works

We’re not the kind of team that shows up with a suitcase full of paint swatches and rehearsed lines. We start by getting a feel for the space. What’s this room used for? What’s working, and what isn’t?

Once we understand that, we get to work. We think about how the light hits at different times of day and how the color will actually feel once you’re living in it. We only use low-odor, low-toxicity paints that are healthier for you and your loved ones. And yes, we show up when we say we will, handle the details others overlook, and always leave your place cleaner than we found it.

Eco-painting is just the last step

You’ve cleaned. You’ve decluttered. But something’s still off. Color is usually the part people don’t realize they’re missing, until everything else is clean and calm and the walls still feel off. But when the right color goes up, using paint that’s safe, low-tox, and thoughtfully chosen? That’s when the whole space starts to feel different. That’s what we offer. That’s why people call us.

New coat. New energy. Zero toxins.

It’s just paint, but it changes everything.

Frequently asked questions

What is eco painting?

Eco painting is a smarter, healthier approach to painting, both for your space and for the environment. Instead of using conventional paints loaded with harsh chemicals, we use low or zero-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paints, which means fewer toxins in the air and a much safer environment for your family, pets, and the planet. We also use eco-friendly methods throughout the project, from prep to cleanup. 

Whether you’re touching up a loft in Tribeca or redoing a brownstone in Brooklyn, or in any other part of NYC, we’ll deliver a polished, beautiful finish, without compromising your health or values.

Absolutely. One of the biggest wins with eco painting is what you don’t breathe in. Regular paints can give off VOCs for weeks—stuff that’s been linked to headaches, allergies, and long-term respiratory issues. Eco painting, on the other hand, is way safer. Especially if you’ve got kids, pets, or anyone sensitive to strong smells..

This is one of those myths that’s stuck around way too long. Eco-friendly painting techniques are extremely durable, especially when applied the right way. With proper prep, which we take seriously, eco painting holds up in high-traffic areas just as well as traditional methods. No matter where you live in New York, you’re not choosing between performance and health. You get both.

Eco painting tends to cost a bit more. But when you consider what you’re getting, it’s well worth it. Think of it as an investment in your well-being and your home’s longevity. And in a city like New York, where small choices can have a big impact, opting for eco painting is a meaningful way to align your space with your values. Plus, the peace of mind? Worth every penny.

We’ve got you. We bring a healthier, eco-friendly approach to painting—no harsh fumes, no shortcuts, and no guesswork. Whether you’re in Manhattan, Brooklyn, SoHo, 57th Street, or somewhere nearby, our team delivers low-VOC, eco-conscious painting that’s better for your walls, your well-being, and your peace of mind. 

And if you need more than just paint on the walls? We’re here for that too. From efficient home organizing services to extra hands for your next event, or even certified fogging experts to sanitize your New York space, we’re the kind of team you can count on to get it done right.

Zenhome Cleaning Clients
  • It took some back-and-forths before all my wishes were met, but they now are. Customer service is wonderfully responsive and Sylvia is a great housekeeper with fabulous energy. I love being welcomed back to my apartment with the smell of lavender; I love knowing it's been cleaned with organic products

  • Zen Home Cleaning did an INCREDIBLE job on our post construction clean. The whole team went above and beyond to make our house a home. They worked extra hours, cleaned every single corner, no detail left unnoticed - I was blown away by the work they did. It really made our lives easier and better to have such care taken in our home, so we could move in to a clean space. We are grateful for the hours and the effort and couldn't recommend Zen highly enough, especially our team Sam, Dale & Tyasia. WOW.

  • First time home cleaning client with Zen Home Cleaning (or any other home cleaning service) and I'm extremely pleased. Carine was a diligent, understanding and adaptable person who did a very excellent job cleaning my 95 year old aunt's apartment in NYC. With two seniors to care for, I need help!! Carine was awesome and I will ask for her again for future jobs. Relieved that this was a very rewarding experience!

  • I'd like to take this opportunity to offer my thanks to Zen Cleaning. I've been at One57 for the last eight months and Zen Cleaning has performed splendidly during the entire time.

    Most fundamentally, I'd like to especially thank Devonte. He's tremendously focused on accommodating the client on all things, large and small. It got to the point where I'd always ask that Devonte be the one to come over and clean the apartment - he's that great! Very detail-oriented and extremely courteous, Devonte is the consummate professional and is truly an Ambassador for the Zen Cleaning Organization.  I can't recommend him, or Zen Cleaning enough.

  • A big thank you to Beni and Sam for the post construction cleaning they just completed in our NYC duplex apartment. We've just had major construction completed and the whole place was filled with dirt & dust...as well as packing boxes. Sam and Beni were here on the dot of 8:30am and worked solidly to complete the job. The company needed a little extra time to complete the work but that was mentioned in the original quote and was expected at the final invoice. I'm very happy with the work and would recommend this service to others looking through reviews to get an idea of great professional options available. The company is also very good at communicating and happily walked me through the work after it was completed. Thank you

  • I love Zen Home. I've been using them for 2 years now for every other week and have to say they are the best. They are very careful around my cats, I have two and love that their employees are very friendly to them. I also love the aromatherapy part of the service too. The use these special essential oils when cleaning so the place smells amazing.

    Yvette Johnson
  • I have now been a client for a year now. Zen Home is still the best cleaning service ever. Just when I think my apartment couldn't possibly be any cleaner, they outdo themselves. I am consistently impressed by the above and beyond efforts and I feel very fortunate to have had the honor of having them tend to my home over the past year.

“The Eco-Friendly element has proved a magnet for clients with health problems like asthma…Her business concept came from her own frustration with cleaning services who used harsh, toxic products.”

The Wall Street Journal

“A visit from Zen home give the home the type of treatment one might expect from a five-star hotel, complete with a turn-down service, diffusion of aromatherapy oils, and organic chocolates on the pillow.”

San Francisco Chronicle

“Imagine: spotless windows, shining countertops, sparkling hardwood, and squeaky clean ovens. Zen Home stops at nothing to get the job done.”

Daily Candy

“I’d book Zen Home, a cleaning service that uses non-toxic products. They burn essential oils while they clean and leave organic chocolates on your pillow.”
