"The Joses—Junior and Senior—along with the on-site manager, Elvis, took great care of us in painting our nearly 100 year old duplex home. They finished ahead of schedule and did a fantastic job following our more-complicated-than-usual historic painting plan. Our building looks so good that I have been asked by multiple neighbors who did the amazing paint job. I have referred all of them to Jose!"

"Diego did an amazing job! He painted inside three of my cabinets after re-piping was done and drywall was left. He sanded primed and Diego painted all three of my cabinets underneath my three sinks. He was professional and communicative and did a great job repairing the areas. Would highly recommend him for any painting needs!"

"I hired Perez Painting to paint the interior of my rental unit (condo). They did a great job and the pricing was fair. Everyone from the painters (Jorge and Marco) to the secretary (Hillary) was helpful and a pleasure to work with. They were accommodating to my schedule which was really helpful since I live 45 minutes away from the unit. I even felt safe enough to leave them with a set of keys to the unit since I couldn’t be there to let them in each day. Lastly, they finished a day ahead of schedule and my rental looks amazing!! I would absolutely hire them again! Thank you Perez Painting!!"

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

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. 

Linoleum adhesive is quite stubborn, so you may have to try several different methods for removal. You can start with a wallpaper steamer and steam it off or add laundry detergent to water and let it soak into the adhesive. You can try paint thinner directly on the adhesive for about 10 minutes and then wipe away.

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.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.
