"I hired Cristian and his team to paint my kitchen island, interior bedroom, front door and some trim outside. He was highly communicative, punctual and professional - with a high standard for the end result. When he had almost finished my kitchen cabinets, I realized the color wasnâ t what I expected. He happily adjusted his schedule to re-do the cabinets in a color I liked better, and barely charged me more for the extra work. I provided all the paint for the project (by choice) and the paint I selected for the front door wasnâ t drying properly and caused the door to not look uniform in color. I didnâ t even notice, but Cristian said he wanted it to be perfect and wouldnâ t feel good leaving the door that way. He suggested a different paint and redid the door for me (at no extra cost). The door looks way better now, and I very much appreciated his level of detail and professional standards. His team was amazing and I couldnâ t be happier with the end result. I would hire them back for any project and couldnâ t recommend them more."

"Alex was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! His knowledge and passion for his work is very rare these days. He is fast, very clean, and very respectful. I was on the fence about either replacing my cabinets entirely, or taking a chance with painting them, let me tell you, I am beyond happy with my decision to hire ALR Painting to paint my cabinets! Alex directed me to Marie at Dunn Edward's in Roseville, she sat down with me, went through colors that fit my personality and compliment my home decor, I took advantage of the free color rendering, and we found the perfect paint color's. It truly looks like I paid tens of thousands for new cabinets! I have gotten the most amazing compliments from my friends and family. I am already recommending ALR Painting to anyone that is thinking about painting their home. ?"

"Mark came out to give us an estimate on the exterior of our house he responded quickly and answered all of our questions we felt comfortable with him. They did a great job I'm very happy with the results! They are reasonable compared to others. Would definitely hire again. Thanks again Taylor's Painting"

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.

Yes, a magic eraser can remove candle wax. You can use it to remove all the candle wax from start to finish. Another option is to remove all large clumps with a dull knife and then pull out your magic eraser to finish the job. However, while the results can be impressive, a magic eraser shouldn’t be used on all surfaces since it can potentially damage them. If you try this method, test a small, hidden spot first and proceed cautiously.

Professionals use safe, efficient methods that protect surfaces and prepare for new finishes.

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.

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.
