"I interviewed 3 painting companies before choosing NEW LIFE PAINTING. Tim MIller is the owner of NEW LIfe, I knew after meeting Tim that his company was who I wanted to work with. Tim's professioalism and knowledge were what I needed to get the project done. Tony, the crew foreman was here every day and answered any questions that I may have had. I must say that the amazing crew were respectful, friendly and worked very well together. Each day when NEW LIFE left the jobsite it was clean and tidy. NEW LIFE PAINTING, I am grateful to all of you and will hire NEW LIFE PAINTING for any painting projects I will have. I highly recommend NEW LIFE PAINTING"

"Scott painted all the interior walls in our new house, he patched and painted the garage and made it so much nicer, he painted our kitchen cabinets, which turned out beautiful and saved us so much money compared to refacing, and he also painted a tricky accent wall covered with reclaimed wood after patching it, and that changed from a weird problem to an elegant feature of the house. All these projects were expertly done on time while I was away, and his estimates for each were accurate and lower than those of his competitors. When I have other projects I will go straight to him."

"Job was done efficiently, professionally, and Jason (the owner and painter) was personable and left no indication he had painted other than a super paint job on the living room.

"The project is to plaster, texture and paint the recessed ceiling in the kitchen. Chris (John's brother) came over to provided a free quote, which was competitive. He spent 3 days plaster, texture and finally paint the ceiling and also repaired some existing paint cracks. He always showed up on time, prep the work area and left everything clean when the work was done. This company did an excellent job and I would hire them again for future projects."

"My highest recommendation I have ever given to a contractor. Diaz Painting painted my house the first week of November. The weather was constantly changing between rainy, windy, to nice. Diaz Painting tarped sides of my house to keep the paint protected. I was home the entire time working in my office. The painters were pleasant and hard working. A very positive experience at a fair price."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

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 waterproofing over paint, but you won't get as much protection as you would if you painted the surface with a waterproof paint from the get-go. Not all waterproofing methods are compatible with painted surfaces, and they may not adhere well. This is especially true if the paint is glossy, old, or flaking. Waterproofing sealers are primarily meant to be applied to porous surfaces, like concrete, wood, or brick. 

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

WD-40 can help remove paint on wood floors, but use it cautiously. Start with a small amount and let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrape the paint off using a plastic (not metal) scraper. You may want to test it first on a hidden area to ensure it doesn't damage the finish. Professional products specifically designed for hardwood may be a better choice for large or stubborn paint spots.

The biggest issue with painting your interior walls with exterior paint isn’t the way the paint looks or performs—it’s the lack of ventilation. The higher quantities of VOCs in exterior paint will have a harder time dispersing in an enclosed space, so do everything you can to direct them out—like turning on a fan and opening your windows and doors. Afterward, you can simply prime and redo your walls with interior paint, and no one will know the difference.
