"quickly needed help for baseboard & interior wall patching/painting during a full house reflooring project. George and team were responsive, reliable and courteous. They sorted work flow with other contractors to our advantage. Excellent work with attention to detail. I highly recommend George and his team of professionals."

"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"

"It went GREAT! Scott was absolutely wonderful. His work is impeccable! He covered everything before he started - floors, furniture, etc. I was amazed. I would have had more paint on me than on the walls. It looks great. I wish I had known about him when I had my home painted years ago. Love his work! I will definitely hire him again."

"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

You can sand paint off a wall. However, it's difficult and time-consuming. Depending on why you wish to remove the paint, there are simpler ways to achieve similar results. Scraping off any loose paint and applying a skim coat is the most common way to hide a damaged wall or paint job.

The safest way to remove lead-based paint is by letting a professional take over. For most people, lead paint removal costs an average of $3,400. You should never attempt to dry sand old lead-based paint surfaces by hand. Most professionals use a paint stripper to do the job followed by wet scraping, but if you don’t want to remove lead paint, another option is to paint over it. Only consider this option if the old lead paint finish isn’t flaking or cracked.

Yes, you can technically use a pressure washer to remove paint from brick, but it comes with a significant risk of damaging the brick surface. A high-power pressure washer can be fast but may leave the brick looking unsightly. The recommended method is to first apply a chemical paint stripper, following the product's instructions, and then use a stiff metal bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to remove the loosened paint. Due to the risk of damage, it is often best to hire a professional who can use low-stress methods.

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. 

Yes, paint thinner can damage some surfaces. Specifically, it can cause a lot of damage to laminate flooring if applied incorrectly.
