"House looks great. Very good work. They replaced damaged house numbers, cleaned light overspray off solar panels and backfilled stones against foundation. Based on the amount of paint left over, I believe they over purchased paint which probably cost me $100+"

"They care about the quality of paint, the details of painting and customer convenience while painting the inside and also exterior of the house and the yard fence. I am completely happy with the detailed work and also with the interaction of the owner and his staff. The owner showed up as promised, provided a complete and reasonable estimate for the interior, exterior and the fence. He considered my request and provided the best kinds of paint and application for the surfaces. The staff were on the job without doubt. They were very consistent with the preparation of surfaces to protect fixtures, floors, furniture, and masking. Best of all they were on time everyday, and worked consistently all day long to get the job done. And in the end I have a completely renewed home inside and out and are completely satisfied. Money well spent without any doubt. This company has a very good established work ethic. I would recommend this company to everyone. Five stars and two thumbs up."

"I had Jose and his crew do two painting jobs for me, the interior of my home and an exterior block wall. They did a great job, very thorough, very neat. They arrived on time, worked hard and left a very clean space when they were done. I would hire them again!"

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

Sandblasting is a common method for removing paint. It works great if the underlying material is tough. This is because you can then use more abrasive sandblast materials, making the paint removal process much faster and less expensive. If you plan on removing many layers of paint on smooth surfaces, you’ll need to be more careful about which materials you choose to use to sandblast.

Yes, you can paint over old exterior paint, but success depends on the condition of the existing paint and proper surface preparation. If the previous coating is in good shape (not cracked, peeling, or flaky), you can paint over it with less prep work. However, for the most durable and professional-looking results, follow these key preparation steps:

  • Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the exterior to remove all dirt, grime, and mildew. A pressure washer can be very effective for this.

  • Scrape and Sand: If the old paint is peeling, cracked, or flaky, you must scrape off all loose paint. After scraping, sand the surface to create a smooth, even base for the new paint. Sanding is especially important for wood siding.

  • Apply Primer: Using a quality exterior primer is highly recommended. It ensures the new paint adheres properly, improves durability, and provides a uniform finish. If you are painting a lighter color over a dark one, a tinted primer will help cover the old color more effectively.

Some brands offer paint-and-primer-in-one products for convenience. Taking the time to prepare the surface properly will not only increase your home's curb appeal but also help protect your siding and extend its life.

The biggest issue with painting your interior walls with exterior paint isn’t the way the paint looks or performs—it’s the lack of ventilation. The higher quantities of VOCs in exterior paint will have a harder time dispersing in an enclosed space, so do everything you can to direct them out—like turning on a fan and opening your windows and doors. Afterward, you can simply prime and redo your walls with interior paint, and no one will know the difference.
