"Very professional, and showed up when they said they would. We picked a paint that we not happy with and they promptly repainted with a darker color (we paid for the paint and additional work as per the contract). They sent out contractors to replace the necessary wood trims that were rotted and a new solid front door. We are very happy with the service we've been given."

"Eglio and his team fully exceeded my expectations. I wanted to make some improvements on my small apartment in San Francisco that included painting, patching, electrical and plumbing. Several line items in my scope of work are beyond the regular duties for interior painting, but Eglio was able engage an electrician and complete the entire scope of work which saved me the difficult task of sourcing someone for everything. I’ll share some after pictures once I get everything put away but I highly recommend this team."

"Marco and his crew did a magnificent job painting the exterior of my triplex. They did fast, quality, affordable work and I would recommend them 100% to anyone looking for a painter. It was a pleasure working with Penagos and I'm looking forward to working with them again soon on the interior painting of my home. I would highly recommend this company."

"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."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

With patience, you can often save a dried paintbrush. Soak the bristles overnight and clean the brush as you would any other time. You'll likely have to repeat the cleaning steps, including soaking, more than once.

Numerous primers on the market will do the job of covering peeling paint. The best primers for peeling paint are bonding or adhesive primers that essentially glue the edges of peeling paint back to the subsurface while providing a smooth, even surface for the new paint coat.

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.

Yes, WD-40 can be used to remove dried paint, including spray paint, from surfaces like metal because it acts as a solvent. To use this method, spray enough WD-40 to completely cover the paint and let it sit for five to ten minutes. Afterward, gently scrub the area with a cloth to remove the paint. Be aware that this method might leave behind a greasy film that can attract dirt.

The most common reason paint peels is because moisture gets trapped underneath it and disrupts its bond with the wall. Other causes for peeling paint include a poor original paint job, painting over a surface with dirt or other foreign material on it, or applying paint coats that are too thick.
