"Immediately I knew Jose’s Painting would be the company to not only bring my home back to life, but would protect it to SUSTAIN the impact of future elements, due to the proposal that was written with extensive care as to HOW they were going to get the house back into shape and WHAT they were going to use. My home has not been painted or stuccoed since the early 80's it needed TLC. This FAMILY OWNED company makes you feel like you are part of the family. Jose aka “Pops” had extensive details of how to make the project come together, while his son Jose had the modern perspective of how to keep the project in current times. The foremen, Elvis explained every detail whenever we had questions or requests. Allen, Gochi, and Ozzy showed up everyday with professionalism and care. The whole team is trustworthy and relatable. I will NOT use any other painting/stucco/interior/exterior specialist for any future project. The care and detail the team provided went above and beyond. WORTH every penny! This one is for the WIN!"

"I needed exterior painting done at my house. I received a quote from 5 different companies. The others told me what they wouldn't do and then their high price. Berger's was the most reasonable. Steve was very patient and informative. He walked me through what the paint project entailed. There was stucco work that needed to be done prior to painting which they took care of fabulously. On a daily basis his guys came out every morning on time, cleaned up before leaving, and were very helpful in answering my questions as well as they were progressing through the project. They even did a few extra things that I had not asked them for in regards to painting. The project took one week to complete. Two days later I noticed there were a few spots that needed touch-up. The guys came back out right away to retouch. I am very pleased with the work they did. I would definitely hire them again and would definitely recommend them to others."

"I had new interior doors installed and needed a good painter. I called Angora Coatings. They were very professional and explained just what was needed for the project. The doors look beautiful and I so pleased with the work. I will certainly call them when I have another painting project and I would recommend Angora Coatings to others."

"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

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.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.

Soot can be harder to remove compared to other types of stains given its acidic nature. It can also cause underlying paint to peel off during the cleaning process. If your soot issue is a result of smoke damage, it’s recommended you call a pro to help remove it versus doing it yourself.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.
