"Excellent!! My sad 1914 home with 100 windows was transformed to a beautiful cottage by AFD painting. Al Drew came to Handford after many years of painting “Boston”. He knew exactly how to accentuate the charm and unique features of the home. AFD is highly professional and was easy to work with. Never did he wash out his tools in the lawn, flower beds or gutters as other companies have done. His is very such a fine painter and a genuinely wonderful person. Thank you Al you’re the best. I will hire you again to get the interior part of the home up to speed. I have had so many compliments from neighbors, delivery folks, mail carriers and dog walkers! Call him you will not be disappointed!"

"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."

"The process went smoothly from start to finish. 247 Painting did an excellent job painting my house. Since I bought the house it had never been painted so I really needed a freshen up and they went above and beyond. Every line is so crisp and I’m so much more happier with my house now."

"Manuel did an excellent job painting the exterior of our home and repaired some damaged areas that needed to have the stucco repaired. The results of his work was amazing. Manuel did what he said he would do and always kept us advised of everything going on with the project. I would highly recommend Manuel to anyone looking to have their home painted. We couldn't be more pleased."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.

Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.

Distilled white vinegar can help you remove candle wax from surfaces like countertops. You’ll need to scrape off most of the wax and use the distilled white vinegar to help soften and remove the rest and leftover residue. Keep in mind that while it’s possible, using distilled white vinegar isn’t an effective method for removing wax compared to the methods listed above.

If you recently splashed paint on the wrong area of a wooden object, remove it with a solvent or caustic paint stripper. Some paint that has yet to dry may be removable by hand with coarse sandpaper or a plastic scraper. Another trick for removing dried-on paint is rubbing a dab of nail polish remover on the paint to remove it, but avoid touching the bare wood surface.

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.
