"New Life Painting just completed painting our family vacation home in Santa Cruz. We live out of town and were extremely thankful we found and hired this company. Tim is the owner and communication with him was great! His response to my emails and phone calls were prompt. He answered all my questions and concerns about the job. The actual painting of the house was excellent! High quality paint products were used and the attention to detail was outstanding. His friendly team of employees do an awesome job! They are all professional, responsible and courteous! Thank you to Mike, Tony, Wes, Matt, Morgan and Oday! What a pleasure to have you around! We highly recommend New Life Painting for your painting projects!"

"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

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.

Costs range from $2 to $7 per square foot, depending on surface type, paint layers, and removal method.

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.

Technically, mineral spirits are a type of paint thinner, so they can be used for the same purposes. In most cases, pure mineral spirits are preferable to other paint thinners. Still, if necessary, you can successfully use paint thinners for most of the same applications, such as thinning or cleaning oil paints.

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.
