"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."

"Hired these guys to paint the interior and vinyl siding of my house. Let me say this right off the bat: the paint, where it's correct, is gorgeous. The spots that aren't correct though, look like an amateur did them. They had to come back 3 times because at least one spot was always missed. The first time I think I marked off 30 or so spots that needed to be redone. Hell, they even missed an entire section of a room. A month later and I'm still finding spots that were done incorrectly and look pretty poor. They painted the wood surrounding my stairs with latex paint, but they didn't prep the wood properly, so it started peeling off within days. You're supposed to sand and prime the surface first, you can't use latex paint on a urethane coated piece of wood. It simply won't stick. They painted my door and immediately closed it, so the white paint of the frame is now all over the red paint of my door. They left white spots all over the walls where the paint didn't cover correctly. I'll be touching that up myself. There's LARGE blue brush strokes from the walls of the bathroom that covered the white door frame. Another thing I'll have to do myself. They didn't use tape to mask off edges, so all color transitions are wavy and looks poorly/quickly done. The project manager was great to work with, but I feel he's very limited in what he can do based on the higher ups in the company."

"We had a great experience with Precision Painting Plus! They painted our entire interior: walls, ceilings, trim. They also put up wallpaper. They were fast, professional, communicative, and friendly. They gave great advice and cleaned up after. We’ve hired a lot of contractors lately, and this has been one of the best experiences. We’ll definitely use them again when we paint our exterior."

"We hired Greg and the team at Fercho's to paint our home. It needed extensive stucco repairs, including matching of a pattern, and lots of prep work before they could even get started. Other painters told us someone else had to get the place ready to paint. Not Fercho's! They did the whole job start to finish, with an incredible attention to detail. You can see the pride Greg takes in his work! Stucco, soffits, garage door, front and back doors - all perfectly painted - looking like new. They cleaned up at the end of each day - meticulously. We are very happy with the work and the price. We have already started thinking about an interior project... It will be with Fercho's. Our house after Fercho's restored it."

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.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain types of smoke damage from walls and ceilings, but it’s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you’ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.

Yes, paint thinner can damage some surfaces. Specifically, it can cause a lot of damage to laminate flooring if applied incorrectly.

Scrape softened caulk with a putty knife or slice hardened caulk with a utility knife. Hard-to-remove caulk generally requires more time exposed to a softening solution, like a commercial product or rubbing alcohol. A few hours to a day later, the softened caulk will come off with the help of common household tools. In many cases, you can grab needle-nosed pliers for caulk with multiple old layers and pull the material off its base.
