"Immediately I knew Jose’s Painting would be the company to not only bring my home back to life, but would protect it to SUSTAIN the impact of future elements, due to the proposal that was written with extensive care as to HOW they were going to get the house back into shape and WHAT they were going to use. My home has not been painted or stuccoed since the early 80's it needed TLC. This FAMILY OWNED company makes you feel like you are part of the family. Jose aka “Pops” had extensive details of how to make the project come together, while his son Jose had the modern perspective of how to keep the project in current times. The foremen, Elvis explained every detail whenever we had questions or requests. Allen, Gochi, and Ozzy showed up everyday with professionalism and care. The whole team is trustworthy and relatable. I will NOT use any other painting/stucco/interior/exterior specialist for any future project. The care and detail the team provided went above and beyond. WORTH every penny! This one is for the WIN!"

Customers say: True professional

"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!"

"We recently had the pleasure of hiring Just-N-Time Painting to tackle a multitude of projects around our home, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and quality of workmanship were exceptional. Firstly, their indoor painting transformed our living spaces. The crew was punctual, respectful of our home, and meticulously prepared every surface before applying the paint. They even helped us choose the perfect colors, which turned out even better than we imagined. Additionally, Just-N-Time Painting tackled the challenging task of repairing termite-damaged boards and addressing stucco issues on our exterior walls. Their expertise was evident as they seamlessly integrated the repairs with the existing structure, ensuring both structural integrity and aesthetic continuity. The finished stucco work looks flawless, and we no longer have any worries about those damaged boards. Another highlight was their work on our outdoor eaves. They were thorough in their assessment and meticulous in their execution, ensuring every detail was perfect. The freshly painted eaves now complement the rest of our home beautifully, thanks to their careful attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship. Throughout the entire project, communication with Shawn at Just-N-Time Painting was effortless. He kept us informed of progress, discussed any unexpected findings or challenges openly, and completed the work within the agreed timeline.

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

While the above methods will help you remove paint from tiles, you may need to take a different approach to get rid of grout haze. If you’ve recently applied the grout, you may be able to wipe it off with a wet cloth. Otherwise, you can try removing it with a rubber grout float, spraying it with a mixture of four parts water to one part vinegar, or using a store-bought grout haze remover.

Some homeowners have luck using pressure washers, but this only works for old or weaker concrete sealants and with very powerful pressure washers. You’ll get better results by pressure washing water-based sealants. However, it’s worth trying on any sealant if you’re hoping for the least toxic, least expensive, and most DIY-friendly option. To try this method, rent or buy the most powerful pressure washer you can find and take several passes at the concrete, completely pressure washing the entire area. You may need to repeat the process multiple times to see results.
