"Jose’s Painting team were very professional and delivered! I appreciated Jose for being prompt for the walk through. Also he did a good job sizing up the work and giving me a work schedule. The team followed through on the work and did an excellent job. Once we agreed on the work plan, they stuck to it. Each day they arrived to work early and went straight to work. At the end of each day they cleaned up and put away their tools and paint. They were very respectful of our property and complied with special requests we had. The painting was very good!!! They did excellent Prep work on my home, which is wood and has wrought Iron work, which made the house look like new. The wrought iron is smooth and looks like new. The work on the wood was well done, there was quite a bit of exposed wood, but they took the time to address all of it and made it look new. The interior was well done again, the extra time spent prepping was key for a terrific finished look. I have a few more projects coming up and I would definitely call them back."

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!"

"Joe's crew did an amazing job painting the interior of our home. It was a big project that required lots of attention to detail- I am a very picky person when it comes to quality and detail. An excellent paint job requires lots of preparation and Joe's team delivered. We highly recommend Element Painting."

"Dream painting came recommended by a client of mine 6 years ago, and I have used them several times ever since, and have recommended them to my friends as well. That by itself should tell you that I was happy with their work. My two Main residences located in Ladera Ranch , and Corona were painted on interior and exterior . I used them for my rentals in Irvine, Aliso Viejo as well. First of all, PAUL is great . He is a very nice man and never oversell anything. Even if he recommends an area to be painted , he never pushes you to get it done. His estimates are fair and he puts it in writing . At one time, he gave me an estimate , but I ended up renting the townhome and did not go ahead with painting it. Two years later , when I was ready for paint to put the property on sale, he honored the same price although after covid, all **** broke loose, and labor and costs went through the roof. Still he kept the estimate the same because I was a repeat client so to say a VIP ! How great is that ? They are very professional. Ashly used to take over after Paul to schedule your project and John took over Ashley's position after a couple of years. They both did a great job for me. They stand by their work too. I did the exterior paint in Ladera house in one year and interior two years later. I asked them to touch up a couple of places like the exterior door, and Paul came over and said that they would do the touch up at no cost , because the paint should have lasted better. I did not see anything wrong, just a few chips here and there , but he stood by their quality of work ! No one does that. In times that service and customer care seems to be a forgotten principle, They are always on time, finish on time, have nice workers, and great prices . I highly recommend them ."

"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. His dedication to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction. Overall, we are beyond pleased with the services provided by Just-N-Time Painting.

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

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.

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.

Most spray paints are oil-based, meaning you will need a solvent to dissolve them, like paint thinner, lacquer thinner, or acetone. While solvents can be useful in removing paint, they are also very flammable and require the use of a respirator. Beyond that, these products may smear paint and cannot be used on all surfaces.

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