"Nile Schmidt is a true professional. I had him paint the outside and inside of a rehab I purchased in late 2008. Almost 1 decade later and the paint job has held up very, very well as I had a contractor over recently who thought the work had been done in the last 2 years (prompting me to write this review). Nile is great and easy to work with and his team is prompt and meticulous. If you want quality work done in a timely fashion at a reasonable price, I can't recommend anyone better than Nile and The Painting Company!"

"We contracted King of the Painters to paint the exterior of our home in Clairemont after reading customer reviews about their services. We met with the companies owners who were very helpful in helping us select a new house paint color scheme. The workers were on time and cleaned up the work site each afternoon. We had a few issues with the job and called them to report the issues and they were very quick to come out to correct the discrepancies. We would recommend using them to anyone."

"ECO painting not only painted the house, but also replaced rotten wood, and went above and beyond what was required. We had fragile roof tiles that were contractually required to be replaced if broken. However, none were broken. The team was professional and performed top-notch job! Will use them again in the future."

"Justin and his painters were here on time first thing every morning. Our two story home is quite large with lots of windows. They were quiet, hard working, neat, and very courteous. I highly recommend Frankfather Painting and plan to call them when it s time to paint the interior of our home."

"I hired Jorge and his team to paint the interior of my townhouse before listing it for sale. They were always on time and completed the project without any additional fees. Jorge came back to do some touch-ups after the new carpet was installed and I couldn't have been happier. My realtor was very impressed with the quality and outcome. Jorge is very meticulous, great attention to detail, and the painting turned out even better than I expected. I recently had him do some work at my condo where a cabinet was removed in the laundry room as well as repair a crack in the wall. The end result looks amazing. I will definitely contact him for any future work."

"They did everything right. Attention to detail., keeping the job site clean, careful taping and prep. They painted our newly installed shaker style garage doors. They even painted the surrounding molding, which was not part of the bid. I would not hesitate to hire them again for any painting project."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

To remove paint from brick with vinegar, you can use the vinegar in much the same way you would paint stripper. However, vinegar needs significantly more time to soak into the paint. Apply the vinegar with a spray bottle, let it soak in, then scrub the paint's surface.

Sanding surfaces, repairing damage, cleaning thoroughly, and using quality primers are all steps you can take for exterior home painting.

Numerous primers on the market will do the job of covering peeling paint. The best primers for peeling paint are bonding or adhesive primers that essentially glue the edges of peeling paint back to the subsurface while providing a smooth, even surface for the new paint coat.

Technically, mineral spirits are a type of paint thinner, so they can be used for the same purposes. In most cases, pure mineral spirits are preferable to other paint thinners. Still, if necessary, you can successfully use paint thinners for most of the same applications, such as thinning or cleaning oil paints.

Costs range from $2 to $7 per square foot, depending on surface type, paint layers, and removal method.
