"Jose’s Painting team were very professional and delivered! I appreciated Jose for being prompt for the walk through. Also he did a good job sizing up the work and giving me a work schedule. The team followed through on the work and did an excellent job. Once we agreed on the work plan, they stuck to it. Each day they arrived to work early and went straight to work. At the end of each day they cleaned up and put away their tools and paint. They were very respectful of our property and complied with special requests we had. The painting was very good!!! They did excellent Prep work on my home, which is wood and has wrought Iron work, which made the house look like new. The wrought iron is smooth and looks like new. The work on the wood was well done, there was quite a bit of exposed wood, but they took the time to address all of it and made it look new. The interior was well done again, the extra time spent prepping was key for a terrific finished look. I have a few more projects coming up and I would definitely call them back."

"I hired Element Painting after seeing what a great job they did painting my neighbor's house. Initially, I had them paint the exterior trim. They did such a great job that I brought them back to paint my interior and I'm scheduling them again soon for more painting. Great company, very professional."

"There was a slight rain delay and they worked with my schedule to avoid any issues with damp wood that needed to be painted! They also treated some small cracks in the wood panels. Showed up on time and stayed into the evening on both days! Everything went wonderful!!!"

"I highly recommend Reyes painting for your painting needs. I had dealt with Albert Reyes directly. He had shown genuine interest and skills to our project which is to paint the whole condo. During the project he and his crew had done an excellent job. He is also flexible to adjust his schedule to meet our needs. He is very responsive to our changes and crew, who is very skilled and detail oriented, is also punctual on timing. I wish most painters would like Albert and his team."

"First of all, the website and reviews were great. I went with this company first. Dave was so perfect at explaining everything that would be done. I made my decision to hire them and canceled all other estimates for that week. I was absolutely amazed at the beautiful exterior paint job of my old beat-up 1948 house. They repaired, patched up, and replaced what was needed. The paint job is perfect. The team was very professional, which was important to me. They did a perfect job, and I look forward to hiring them to paint the interior of this old house."

"My past experience with handyman have paled in comparison to Botellos. Botello has gone above and beyond with the tasks I had to be completed. We have the outside of the house transformed with new paint and woodwork repairs. New screen doors and door installation on all three (3) buildings on my property. As well one of my houses required various modification for handicap. This is following the codes set by the state .of California. Botellos has accepted all tasks presented and completed to satisfaction......by 150%.. I recommend Botellos highly. Please check Botellos out for your next project big or small. They accept the challenge because it is their motto to "embrace the challenge, trust the process to achieve a successful result. Thank you Botellos!!"

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

One of the most significant benefits of hiring a professional painter is that they complete the task faster and better. Generally, it takes about a day to paint a room, depending on dry time. If you're painting your entire house or the exterior of your home, that's a lot of time spent with a paintbrush in hand. Outsourcing this project to a painting pro will save you countless hours.

Other benefits of hiring a professional painter include:

  • Quality experience with painting 

  • Assistance with choosing colors

  • Using the right tools for the job

  • Extensive product knowledge

Sanding paint that contains lead is never safe, and sanding modern paints can still be hazardous. However, you can protect yourself by wearing a high-quality respirator during the process or by using a wet-sanding technique. You can wet the wall and then sand or use a wet sanding tool to achieve this.

If you recently splashed paint on the wrong area of a wooden object, remove it with a solvent or caustic paint stripper. Some paint that has yet to dry may be removable by hand with coarse sandpaper or a plastic scraper. Another trick for removing dried-on paint is rubbing a dab of nail polish remover on the paint to remove it, but avoid touching the bare wood surface.

Yes, you can paint over old exterior paint, but success depends on the condition of the existing paint and proper surface preparation. If the previous coating is in good shape (not cracked, peeling, or flaky), you can paint over it with less prep work. However, for the most durable and professional-looking results, follow these key preparation steps:

  • Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the exterior to remove all dirt, grime, and mildew. A pressure washer can be very effective for this.

  • Scrape and Sand: If the old paint is peeling, cracked, or flaky, you must scrape off all loose paint. After scraping, sand the surface to create a smooth, even base for the new paint. Sanding is especially important for wood siding.

  • Apply Primer: Using a quality exterior primer is highly recommended. It ensures the new paint adheres properly, improves durability, and provides a uniform finish. If you are painting a lighter color over a dark one, a tinted primer will help cover the old color more effectively.

Some brands offer paint-and-primer-in-one products for convenience. Taking the time to prepare the surface properly will not only increase your home's curb appeal but also help protect your siding and extend its life.

Sandblasting is a common method for removing paint. It works great if the underlying material is tough. This is because you can then use more abrasive sandblast materials, making the paint removal process much faster and less expensive. If you plan on removing many layers of paint on smooth surfaces, you’ll need to be more careful about which materials you choose to use to sandblast.
