"This was an exemplary and professional job. The staff, painters, carpenters and managers were on the job until complete. Constant contact, updates and suggestions. Ernesto, Alberto and Gian were central to the success of this project. They truly are King of the Painters, bar non. Hard workers, diligent worker and professional workers. Work well together and helped each other achieve maximum performance and effect. My wife and I loved the end results and so do my neighbors. Thank you, The King of Painters, a job well done!"

"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."

"I am thrilled to have found Marcelo with American Painting Company. I was in desperate need of a painter to paint my rental condo in order to get it ready for my new tenants. Marcelo responded to my request immediately and was able to start the very next week. I worked side by side with Marcelo while he painted and I worked on the repairs. He is very pleasant, attentive to detail and did a fabulous job. I highly recommend American Painting and will definitely be using Marcelo for my other properties."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

You can sand paint off a wall. However, it's difficult and time-consuming. Depending on why you wish to remove the paint, there are simpler ways to achieve similar results. Scraping off any loose paint and applying a skim coat is the most common way to hide a damaged wall or paint job.

Technically, mineral spirits are a type of paint thinner, so they can be used for the same purposes. In most cases, pure mineral spirits are preferable to other paint thinners. Still, if necessary, you can successfully use paint thinners for most of the same applications, such as thinning or cleaning oil paints.

You can paint over cracked paint, but only if you properly sand down the damaged areas. Once the surface is as smooth as you can get it, clean the walls and let them dry before applying a new coat of paint. Painting over cracked paint without sanding or cleaning beforehand will not cover up the cracks and may even make them look worse.

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.

First off, take a breath. The good news is that interior paint, especially when used outside, won’t harm your health. The bad news is that you’re going to have to reapply the proper exterior paint at some point in the not-so-distant future. Otherwise the current coat will chip, crack, and fade, or worse, develop mold or an insect infestation without remediation.
