"Immediately I knew Jose’s Painting would be the company to not only bring my home back to life, but would protect it to SUSTAIN the impact of future elements, due to the proposal that was written with extensive care as to HOW they were going to get the house back into shape and WHAT they were going to use. My home has not been painted or stuccoed since the early 80's it needed TLC. This FAMILY OWNED company makes you feel like you are part of the family. Jose aka “Pops” had extensive details of how to make the project come together, while his son Jose had the modern perspective of how to keep the project in current times. The foremen, Elvis explained every detail whenever we had questions or requests. Allen, Gochi, and Ozzy showed up everyday with professionalism and care. The whole team is trustworthy and relatable. I will NOT use any other painting/stucco/interior/exterior specialist for any future project. The care and detail the team provided went above and beyond. WORTH every penny! This one is for the WIN!"

"CertaPro has painted the exterior and one interior room of my house a couple of weeks ago. These folks did a fantastic job, restored the beauty of my house, rendering an appealing result. Vicky and Ricky, the contact people were very professional and polite. The painters, Luis and Albert worked extremely hard and demonstrated high level skills especially when working on the tough parts. The price was more competitive than other quotes I received. Overall, I am extremely happy and would strongly recommend CertoPro to others whose house needs repainted."

"Ruben and his crew did a great job on the interior of our home. I was very picky while they were doing the job but it turned out that Ruben was even more picky than me, a couple of small issues at the end of the job but they were taken care of very quickly to my satisfaction. Don't start your project until you get a estimate from Ruben's Painting."

"Craig responded to my request in a timely manner. He arrived to the interview on time and gave me a fair estimate for the job of painting my master bedroom. He and Tanya were hired and arrived on time to start the job with all needed materials. They were friendly and polite and both worked steadily. They also did an excellent job of clean up afterward. I was impressed with their honesty and work ethic. We will certainly hire them again for our next project."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

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. 

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

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.

Sanding surfaces, repairing damage, cleaning thoroughly, and using quality primers are all steps you can take for exterior home painting.

If you recently splashed paint on the wrong area of a wooden object, remove it with a solvent or caustic paint stripper. Some paint that has yet to dry may be removable by hand with coarse sandpaper or a plastic scraper. Another trick for removing dried-on paint is rubbing a dab of nail polish remover on the paint to remove it, but avoid touching the bare wood surface.
