Paint as a verb & Paint as a Noun

In both alternatives, a painting process is used in the application of the coating product. As such, the ceiling is being painted...a verb. However, the product that is being applied may not necessarily be a paint (a noun), and therein lies the difference.

Interestingly, contractors who specialize in treating aged/discolored ceilings make it a point to avoid the word paint. Why? Because so many commercial building professionals are acutely aware of the negative effects of conventional paint and they would prefer not to have their service associated with those limitations. That is why they say, "We restore ceilings...we do not paint them" They insist on making that distinction and must do it clearly if they hope to be successful in the marketplace of knowledgeable building professionals.
