"After reaching out to CertaPro, they promptly messaged back and setup a date to come and review what needed to be done, totally around our schedule. When it was time for the actual job the team showed up and quickly prepped the room(s) that needed to worked on and fast forward 3 days we have a beautiful new feel to the house. There were no issues with the work done and they were meticulous in making sure that everything was done properly. Couldn’t be more happy with the service from start to finish. Definitely will have them out again for any interior painting and also highly recommend them."

"Eglio and his team fully exceeded my expectations. I wanted to make some improvements on my small apartment in San Francisco that included painting, patching, electrical and plumbing. Several line items in my scope of work are beyond the regular duties for interior painting, but Eglio was able engage an electrician and complete the entire scope of work which saved me the difficult task of sourcing someone for everything. I’ll share some after pictures once I get everything put away but I highly recommend this team."

"Luis Gonzalez and his crew have done a very thorough and professional job painting wooden trim on our house and, above all, repairing lots of dry rot on the house, the garage, and the roof of the garage. Luis is very nice and so are the men who work with him. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good, conscientious painter for outside or interiors. Peggy Kagel Fairfax, CA"

"TM did an awesome job painting all the interior walls of our home. They painted 8 rooms and 2 bathrooms in two days which exceeded our expectations. Their work quality is excellent and they moved and protected our furniture and floors to prevent any paint damage. Also did a thorough clean up after the painting was completed. We highly recommended them."

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.

While a pressure washer is certainly powerful enough to remove old and peeling paint, this is not a great idea to do yourself. The pressure washer is so powerful that you could actually damage the walls as you strip away the paint. It’s best to leave paint stripping to the pros. 

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.

Soot can be harder to remove compared to other types of stains given its acidic nature. It can also cause underlying paint to peel off during the cleaning process. If your soot issue is a result of smoke damage, it’s recommended you call a pro to help remove it versus doing it yourself.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.
