"Nile and his crew were outstanding.  Very easy to do business with.  Nile returned calls and emails promptly.  His team of painters arrived promptly each day of this three-day job and communicated their plan so I would know when they would arrive and approximately when they would finish.  The quality of the work is top notch and, for the scope of work being done, I think the price was very reasonable.  I've always done my own painting but after this experience I think I'll hang up my brush and just call Nile.

"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."

"Saul and his crew did an excellent job painting the exterior of our house. They were clean, fast and paid attention to details. They power washed, repaired stucco, caulked all joints, masked, used drop clothes everywhere and painted stucco and trim. All painted lines were sharp and clean. They didn’t even damage any roof tiles. Couldn’t be happier and I highly recommend them."

"Geoff and his team were very meticulous, professional, experienced and really good people. We were very impressed with all the prep work done before the actual painting of the exterior was started. We highly, very highly recommend Adesion painting and plan to use them for future projects."

"We can not speak highly enough about Ben Lypps, both as a professional and as an individual. He does stellar work, paying very close attention to detail and going over and above to ensure the job is done correctly. Our home required a great deal of preparation and repair work prior to painting, which turned out to be more than Ben had originally anticipated, but he honored the price on the contract. He never complained about the extra work. Ben is super conscientious about showing up on time, and cleaning up after he left. He is a quiet, kind and considerate man, making him a pleasure to be around. We will use Ben for all of our future painting needs!"

"As a contractor, I have hired Alex and Ruben for numerous jobs over a 3-year period. The jobs they completed for me were interior drywall/painting, exterior stucco repairs/painting, power washing, fence and window wrap staining, garage slab epoxying, light carpentry work (baseboards, wall extensions, door casing, and fence repairs), LVP installation, and hanging barn doors. They always showed up on time ready to work, did excellent work, and most importantly were wonderful with my customers. Since moving back to Seattle I still have customers reaching out to me and am continuing to refer them to AR Coatings due to the excellent work and customer service they have always provided. I recommend Alex and Ruben for any job from the list above."

"Marco and his crew just finished painting the exterior of our house and power washing the roof. If we could give him 10 stars, we would! He does outstanding work with an eye for detail and no cutting corners. He kept excellent communication throughout the entire job. Marco and his crew were always on time and cleaned up after each day. Marco is a honest and hardworking guy, and his prices are very reasonable. We received a quote from another company, and it was quite a bit higher - even with the lowest quality of paint! (And the only way we found out about the paint quality was because of our own research). Marco explained and quoted us on different paints depending on what we preferred. He even lowered our price because he received an extra discount from the paint store!! In a nutshell, we highly recommend SD Pro Painting and will use them for any future painting projects."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re painting your home or monitoring a job as it’s being completed, squash the issue ASAP if you notice paint is getting onto the roof. Keeping it clean is one of the keys to extending your roof’s life.

Removing latex paint before it dries is much easier and lowers the risk of damaging your shingles (more on that below). Simply spray the spot with a hose for one to two minutes to clear away the drying paint. In general, this is a good way to remove ugly stains from your roof without using chemicals.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

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.

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.

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