"Rodrigo worked on my kitchen and a restroom, and I'm pretty satisfied with the work. He was really easy to talk to and made adjustments on time, and the communication was there. I would hire them again, and I have already recommended him."

"Heinz and Ruth were awesome and a lovely couple to work with. They were very humble and helpful with suggestions and recommendations. They did a fantastic job on our home. They re-painted the ceilings in two bedrooms, repainted two of our bathrooms, they did all the trim and doors of our home, they painted the stair rails, did some touch up work in our living room ceiling, painted the fireplace. Heinz and Ruth recommend we do wainscoting in our living room. We went with their suggestion, and absolutely love the outcome. They start at working on our home in early July and we re done within two weeks. My family absolutely adored their company and talking with them too. We hope to hire them in the near future for our kitchen and highly recommend them."

"Eric and the rest of the workers and employees at 247 painting were so amazing. They took such great care in painting my new house for move in!! I wanted some really out there colors for my backsplash and my accent walls in my bedrooms and it came out so great and so clean the edges were so crisp I am so happy. The customer service was top tier. They were so attentive and professional. Everyone equally had enough knowledge to answer my many questions so the process went very smoothly. My house was finished two whole days earlier than expected so that was also a bonus. I will definitely be hiring 247 painting again!!"

"Our experience with Manuel was of great pleasure. Manuel and his crew painted the exterior and interior of our home with beautiful results. Manuel is very patient as I couldn't decide on interior colors and not once did I feel rushed. Manuel did give his expertise knowledge when I chose the colors and I am grateful he did. We bought new light fixtures and a ceiling fan to be put up after the painting, he offered to put them up for us since he'd have to put the old ones back up. While installing the fan and one of the light fixtures he can across an issue. My husband went to Home Depot to buy the parts and Manuel fixed it right then and there although it was not in his contact. There were a few details that were missed but nothing major that we couldn't overcome as no one is perfect. We will definitely refer Manuel and use him again."

"The kitchen remodel with Ocean Seven Builders went smoother than we thought it would. Ron stayed involved throughout the process and kept us updated on progress. The quality of the cabinets and flooring is excellent, and the installation looks very precise. Overall, it was a solid experience with a good end result!"

"Joshua has done a lot of work for us over the last year - from replacing blinds to fixing faucets, toilets and installing light fixtures, smoke alarms, shower fixtures, etc.  His work is always excellent!  He is very prompt, reliable, and does a thorough job.  I was thrilled to find such a great handyman since we had to move and rent out our house.  The only problem is that his schedule is very busy because he's so good!!

Interior Painting questions, 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.

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.

A natural paint remover for metal is a solution of 16 parts water and one part baking soda or vinegar. When heated on your stovetop, these non-toxic household items combine into a highly effective solution that can be used to remove paint from small metal objects with tricky nooks and crannies.

Professional lead-paint abatement companies use a variety of methods to remove lead-based paint, depending on each particular situation. Some of the most common methods include:

  • Total removal: $8–$17 per square foot

  • Demolition and replacement: $1,000–$15,000 per project

  • Encapsulation: $4 per square foot

  • Enclosure: $10 per square foot

  • Chemical stripping: $10–$17 per square foot

Professional painters often use a Turpentine-based solution to remove paint, since it can remove oil-based paint as well as acrylics and varnishes. It’s also an organic material derived from tree resin, so it’s less toxic than traditional paint strippers. Consult a professional cabinet refinisher or painter about the best materials to use for paint stripping.
