Testimonials

"I wanted to let you know how wonderful it is to have a local store where you can buy safe, non-toxic paint and building supplies. As parents of a child that a few years ago was very sick from environmental chemical exposures, we discovered that creating a chemical free home was critical to her recovery and future health. It is important to us to use paints that are no VOC when adding color in our home. Many "Zero VOC" paints only reduce emissions that cause outdoor air pollution, yet still contain many unregulated chemicals and preservatives that are toxic to our indoor air. We love the Safecoat brand paints because they eliminate harmful chemicals that many other "Zero VOC" products don't. Thank you for providing us with the resources and friendly sservice to create a healthy home for our family.”

MARMOLEUM™
"We recently had Marmoleum floor tiles with welding rods installed in our bathroom. Sapona offered a large variety of in store samples to choose from, helped us learn about the product and most importantly handled the entire process from purchase to installation. Installation was complete in one day and the installer Sapona sent on the job handled the difficult task of applying the welding rods smoothly and efficiently. Speaking of the product itself, Marmoleum has a natural feel and texture to it. It has a soft, warm feel under our feet as opposed to what we would expect from a cold ceramic floor. It is also surprisingly affordable, which is obviously a major plus."
