"Jose’s Painting team were very professional and delivered! I appreciated Jose for being prompt for the walk through. Also he did a good job sizing up the work and giving me a work schedule. The team followed through on the work and did an excellent job. Once we agreed on the work plan, they stuck to it. Each day they arrived to work early and went straight to work. At the end of each day they cleaned up and put away their tools and paint. They were very respectful of our property and complied with special requests we had. The painting was very good!!! They did excellent Prep work on my home, which is wood and has wrought Iron work, which made the house look like new. The wrought iron is smooth and looks like new. The work on the wood was well done, there was quite a bit of exposed wood, but they took the time to address all of it and made it look new. The interior was well done again, the extra time spent prepping was key for a terrific finished look. I have a few more projects coming up and I would definitely call them back."

"Berger's Painting provided exceptional service! They painted the entire interior of my home in 5 days - faster than expected. I gave the painting crew additional jobs to do and they did it beautifully, without complaint. The work crew was on time, friendly, professional, and did an excellent job. Bob Berger called me regularly to make sure that I was happy with their work. Their price was definitely reasonable. I would use them again!"

"I had new interior doors installed and needed a good painter. I called Angora Coatings. They were very professional and explained just what was needed for the project. The doors look beautiful and I so pleased with the work. I will certainly call them when I have another painting project and I would recommend Angora Coatings to others."

"I have worked with a lot of contractors in the past for our various properties but needed someone who can handle a commercial property so I found Reyes Painting on this site. From the beginning to the end, the communication was clear and concise, supported with all the details needed. Customer service was superb not only for me but also for all the condo residents in the building. The team plans ahead in every way, in both work and communication, and just works smart. Definitely someone you want to hire and even though it is not the lowest quote I have seen, do you really want important jobs to go to the lowest bidder?"

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.

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.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

It’s best to use a slightly slower-working paint remover that is safer to use, such as mineral spirits, because the strongest spray paint removers are often also the most toxic. Many of these products contain dangerous chemicals, such as methylene chloride, which the EPA banned for most uses in April 2024 after it was established as a major carcinogen.

WD-40 is an effective way to remove glue and other sticky residue from many surfaces, including wood. Spray the WD-40 on the area, allow the product to sit for a few minutes, then carefully wipe away the residue. As with other adhesive removal methods, test the WD-40 on an inconspicuous spot first to ensure it won’t damage the finish.
