Hello,
Our association has told us to paint the
exterior of the house. We spoke with a
contractor who uses Sherwin Williams brand
of paints but advised us that if we're allergic
to new paint smells, we should stay away from the house
for several days.

Is this really necessary?

Is there a solution to the new paint smells?
Does this depend on the quality of the paint?

THANKS!


It sounds like the painter may have got taken over the coals in a
lawsuit and is now issuing the usual "do not use this electrical
appliance while in the pool" and "do not place this plastic bag over
your head" warnings.
