"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."

"Our house looks beautiful -- both outside and in -- because Brannick & Associates have painted every square inch of it. Patrick's team first painted our interior after a renovation a few years ago and we were so impressed with the quality & professionalism of their work that we've had them return for two additional jobs: a steep exterior stairway and most recently, the house's exterior. Their attention to detail and overall craftsmanship are why Brannick & Associates are our go-to painters. Highly recommend."

"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."

"There was a lot of prep work to do in the shower room. Blistered paint was removed and the areas were re-textured. It came out looking new. I will use them again when I can finish painting the whole interior of my house."

"TM did an awesome job painting all the interior walls of our home. They painted 8 rooms and 2 bathrooms in two days which exceeded our expectations. Their work quality is excellent and they moved and protected our furniture and floors to prevent any paint damage. Also did a thorough clean up after the painting was completed. We highly recommended them."

"Luis and his crew did an amazing job painting out 100+year old house. They spent a lot of time prepping the wood siding and stucco which resulted in a finished project that looks amazing and will last for years. They were prompt, a pleasure to work with, and left the job site clean every day. We plan on hiring Luis to paint the interior of our house next year. I highly recommend Lobato Painting."

"I recently hired Mike to paint the exterior of my home, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. He was professional, punctual, and meticulous from start to finish. The prep work was thorough, the lines are clean, and the final result looks fantastic. He clearly takes pride in his work and left everything neat and tidy each day. I would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality painting done right."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

It’s best to use a slightly slower-working paint remover that is safer to use, such as mineral spirits, because the strongest spray paint removers are often also the most toxic. Many of these products contain dangerous chemicals, such as methylene chloride, which the EPA banned for most uses in April 2024 after it was established as a major carcinogen.

WD-40 is an effective way to remove glue and other sticky residue from many surfaces, including wood. Spray the WD-40 on the area, allow the product to sit for a few minutes, then carefully wipe away the residue. As with other adhesive removal methods, test the WD-40 on an inconspicuous spot first to ensure it won’t damage the finish. 

The easiest way to remove window decals is to soak the area in hot, soapy water. Let it sit for 15 minutes before scraping it with a plastic scraper or the edge of a credit card. You can also remove window decals with white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or applying heat from a hairdryer or steam cleaner.

Professionals may use a variety of methods to remove old paint from surfaces, often depending on the size and complexity of the surface. Paint scraping in combination with a chemical paint stripper is the most common method, but experts might also use heat or steam to loosen everything before peeling the paint off. Some might just sand off the old paint if the surface is relatively flat and easily accessible.

One of the most significant benefits of hiring a professional painter is that they complete the task faster and better. Generally, it takes about a day to paint a room, depending on dry time. If you're painting your entire house or the exterior of your home, that's a lot of time spent with a paintbrush in hand. Outsourcing this project to a painting pro will save you countless hours.

Other benefits of hiring a professional painter include:

  • Quality experience with painting 

  • Assistance with choosing colors

  • Using the right tools for the job

  • Extensive product knowledge
