"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."

"Rolando wants to provide the best results and makes excellent recommendations that you should consider and discuss. Lower cost (cheaper paints) don’t necessarily give you the best or lasting results. His team is very meticulous and does a great job in prepping and cleanup."

"Eligio and his team did an INCREDIBLE job painting my bedroom! It had very high ceilings and have no been painted since moving in in 2008. It looks pristine. He did such a good job that I hired them to paint the rest of my house. They made the walls look perfect!! I highly recommend them and will definitely reach out again if I need anything else painted. Eligio was also very nice and easy to schedule with. If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you Skage painting!!!"

I'm Fernando Palma with Palma's Painting. After I graduated in 2013, I received a call from my former boss to officially start working in his company, I have worked in Painting ever since , doing and focusing in Exterior and Interior Painting . We have done many residential and commercial homes . \nAlthough Painting may sound simple enough, there are many steps and ways in getting things applied the right way , for example ; Any trim with Oil paint used in the past, must be sanded and de-glossed before applying Paint again, otherwise paint will just peel and scratch off easily . It's important that while getting ready to paint, you have done all the necessary steps to make sure you get a solid finish . \nFeel free to give us a call or text with no commitment . \n-Fernando Palma

"I had them paint the entire interior of a 3 bedroom 2-1/2 bath home. Proper preparation is important. They were careful and accurate with their masking and protection of surfaces not to be painted, splattered, or over-sprayed. They filled nail holes, nicks, and cracks in the walls and trim and primed old enamel paint. Painting was smooth without thin spots or drips, runs, etc. They started on time and finished quickly on schedule. They left the house clean."

"I hired Alex to paint the exterior of our home. He and his crew did a fantastic job! From my initial contact with Alex to the very end of the project, Alex was very easy to communicate with and his follow through was prompt and efficient. He explained thoroughly what he would do. From the preparation ( house had many cracks that need attention), scraping, power washing, 2 coats of primer, caulking and filling in cracks to the finished look with 2 coats of quality paint ( Sherwin Williams Exterior Duration) the job was completed on time and exceptionally. Alex goes above and beyond to take care of his customers. He is professional and knows his business. His crew are hard working and pay attention to details. My chimney cover and cap were rusted and he even arranged to take care of that at a very reasonable price. If you need interior or exterior painting done, I highly recommend Alex with Smart & Beyond. He is exceptional and you will not be disappointed!"

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

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.

Paint removal is a time-consuming job that can take anywhere from an hour for small surfaces, like a single stair banister, to multiple days for larger projects, like removing paint from wood siding. Expect to spend between five and 20 minutes per square foot. You can use chemical paint strippers to speed up the process, but be sure you use proper protective gear and take care to pick a product that’s suited for your material.

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.

To remove painted-over hinges for replacement or paint removal, you should use a utility knife to score around the edges of the hinges gently. Work very carefully so as not to damage the surrounding area. From there, you can unscrew the hinges and gently pry them off the door, making sure not to bend the metal.
