"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"

"The owner Francisco is very professional. He showed up on time, answered the phone , listened & addressed our concerns. The house was powerwashed , primed , painted with 2 coats of paint ( rain off) that I selected. They finished in 6 days. We have neighbors and had to access their property. Francisco handle issues with the property manager , providing insurance, license, workers comp documents. A tenant had additional concerns that he resolved within a day. The painters worked hard everyday , priming doing caulking & repair work, especially at the top of the building. They were always polite and pleasant to work with. Super nice guys. The price was reasonable and I am very pleased with the service and work."

"Steve, the owner, and his associate, Brian, did an outstanding job painting our Junior College home's exterior. I love the way it turned out: off-white body, with a nice black trim. Very classy looking. Both gentlemen were courteous, were on time, worked all day long, paid attention to detail, made helpful suggestions and, above all, were careful to protect our new deck, pavers and shrubs. They also went the proverbial "extra mile", making small repairs, such as replacing a basement vent, painting our security door and re-painting it, for free, when the original color I had selected proved to be the wrong hue. Last, but not least, the overall price for this top-quality exterior painting job was the best bid of the three bids we had solicited. Very, very reasonably priced for a high-quality, beautiful job. In fact, my husband and I were so delighted that we already hired Steve to repaint our base boards in the interior. Thank you, Steve and Brian! And to everyone considering a new paint job for your home, MasterColor Painting is the company for you. You won't be sorry."

"Daniel and his team at Soco Painting did a fantastic job on the exterior paint job. They were quick, thorough and communicative including tackling some minor dry rot repair and shutter replacement plus final touch ups. All for a far price. A+ No complaints."

"We hired Sonoma Valley Painting to paint the entire interior of our home before moving in, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Jeremy and his team were wonderful to work with—professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly skilled. Our house originally had dark colors throughout, and Jeremy completely transformed it, brightening every space and giving it a fresh, welcoming feel. We painted every single room and added a dark accent wall in our bedroom, which Jeremy helped us match perfectly to our vision. Our home also had custom-stained doors, and Jeremy went above and beyond to ensure any new or unstained trim matched beautifully. He even helped refinish our front door, which truly elevated our curb appeal and made the whole house feel brand new. We highly recommend Sonoma Valley Painting for anyone looking for quality work, great communication, and a team that truly cares about the finished product."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, but with caution. A floor grinder is intended to level and polish concrete, so it is a very powerful tool. To remove paint, the floor grinder should be set to 35 square feet per minute or less to minimize the pressure without the use of pocket weights. You might need to go over the surface two times to get any paint that has sunk into the concrete’s pores.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

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 easiest and fastest way to remove paint from a surface is to use a chemical paint stripper to loosen the paint and then remove the paint using a paint scraper. You can also speed up the process by making the area as accessible as possible, which could include removing window sashes or taking doors off the hinges.

To fix bubbling paint, scrape away any loose or blistered areas using a putty knife. Lightly sand the surface to smooth out rough edges and create a level finish. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, and any residue. Once the surface is clean and dry, apply a quality primer suited to the material you're painting. Finally, repaint the area, making sure to work in proper temperature and humidity conditions to prevent new bubbles from forming.
