"Carlos Painting did excellent work- if I could rate higher than 5 stars I would! His crew, Jesus and Eric, were prompt, very friendly and did amazing work prepping and completing repairs. They were meticulous in every step to paint our house, and the results are amazing. Carlos doesn’t cut corners or take shortcuts, the work they did was of the highest quality, and the house looks beautiful. I very highly recommend them!"

"Mike Samuelsen Painting did a great job, cleaning, prepping, priming and painting the entire exterior of our house. Mike is detail-oriented and he fixed numerous cracks on our stucco walls. His careful work made us feel like he was treating our house like it was his own. I highly recommend Mike. -Jake J."

"Competitively priced. Reliable. Craftsmen. Not only did Fred provide the most affordable bid, but he was also the only paint contractor I could find who knew how to tackle the challenges with this historical home. The crew was amazing, showed up on time, enjoyed their work, took great care of my home and went out of their way to cater to the neighbors. I have the most beautiful home on the block now. I wish I could give more stars."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

The list of what removes caulk residue includes rubbing alcohol. In some cases, rubbing alcohol can also help remove water-based caulk. However, old caulk or caulk that’s in layers from years of upkeep and projects might prove to be too much for simple rubbing alcohol and may require a caulk-removing solution from a home improvement store.  

Yes, you can technically use a pressure washer to remove paint from brick, but it comes with a significant risk of damaging the brick surface. A high-power pressure washer can be fast but may leave the brick looking unsightly. The recommended method is to first apply a chemical paint stripper, following the product's instructions, and then use a stiff metal bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to remove the loosened paint. Due to the risk of damage, it is often best to hire a professional who can use low-stress methods.

Yes, a magic eraser can remove candle wax. You can use it to remove all the candle wax from start to finish. Another option is to remove all large clumps with a dull knife and then pull out your magic eraser to finish the job. However, while the results can be impressive, a magic eraser shouldn’t be used on all surfaces since it can potentially damage them. If you try this method, test a small, hidden spot first and proceed cautiously.

You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.

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.
