The focus on quality begins at the top of our organization with John A. Ward, Jr., the President/C.E.O of the company.  Being a chemist, he is committed to research and development to ensure that only the highest quality paints are labeled with our signature “Impressionist” Farrell-Calhoun label.  Dedicated chemist work diligently to mix the most impressive paints on the market.  Our paints have to meet exacting standards as well as stand up to a battery of stringent test.  Many of our products like our 300 line, the best flat latex wall paint on the market today, exceed industry standards.  This premium product has unsurpassed touch-up and is one to the most washable and scrubbable paints available.
