"Lance was great to work with… he & his crew did a really good job painting our garage interior & applying epoxy to the floor along with some touch up painting in our home. They got the job done in a timely manner despite some hiccups with epoxy product. What I appreciated most about Lance was his proactive communication. I was updated frequently about the status of the project. I would definitely use Lance for our future painting needs!"

"I interviewed 3 painting companies before choosing NEW LIFE PAINTING. Tim MIller is the owner of NEW LIfe, I knew after meeting Tim that his company was who I wanted to work with. Tim's professioalism and knowledge were what I needed to get the project done. Tony, the crew foreman was here every day and answered any questions that I may have had. I must say that the amazing crew were respectful, friendly and worked very well together. Each day when NEW LIFE left the jobsite it was clean and tidy. NEW LIFE PAINTING, I am grateful to all of you and will hire NEW LIFE PAINTING for any painting projects I will have. I highly recommend NEW LIFE PAINTING"

"Jonathan and his team also painted my bathroom, bedroom, and hallway; power washed the exterior of my house, deck, and garage before painting/staining, making all necessary repairs so that the painting/staining could be done. He works with a very competent carpenter/handyman. Jonathan checked in with me every step of the way. The crew was neat and orderly; the work performed as contracted; and the price was very affordable. I would wholeheartedly recommend him and Revival Painting. It was a pleasure to do business with someone so honest and committed to doing the best job."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

The easiest and fastest way to remove paint from a surface is to use a chemical paint stripper to loosen the paint and then remove the paint using a paint scraper. You can also speed up the process by making the area as accessible as possible, which could include removing window sashes or taking doors off the hinges.

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. 

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.

The best way to remove lead paint is by wet hand sanding and removing all dust and residue with a HEPA vacuum. Professionals may also strip and scrape lead-based paint with a paint scraper. In some cases, you may choose to have a pro encapsulate or enclose your lead-based paint surface by covering it with a sealant or a new material. You may also choose to replace the material altogether.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.
