"Eglio and his team fully exceeded my expectations. I wanted to make some improvements on my small apartment in San Francisco that included painting, patching, electrical and plumbing. Several line items in my scope of work are beyond the regular duties for interior painting, but Eglio was able engage an electrician and complete the entire scope of work which saved me the difficult task of sourcing someone for everything. I’ll share some after pictures once I get everything put away but I highly recommend this team."

"Ruben offered a competitive bid, was available to start the project promptly, and completed the work ahead of schedule without cutting corners to do so. The prep and painting were very well done, the crew was hardworking and pleasant. Ruben kept me informed as to their progress throughout the project. Definitely would hire Ruben Roman Painting again!"

"Luis did a great job painting the entire outside of my house, the pergola, the fence and retaining walls. Inside he matched the existing paint color and painted the living/dining rooms, kitchen/family rooms, entry and long hallway walls and ceilings. He fixed dry rot outside and caulked cracks inside on walls and on the brick fireplace. It looked like a new house when he finished. He and his staff Manuel were always on time, kept me informed at every step and left things clean at the end of every day. I highly recommend Luis’ company for their professionalism and excellent work. The best recommendation is this: I will hire them again whenever I have painting needs."

"I hired Alex to paint the exterior of our home. He and his crew did a fantastic job! From my initial contact with Alex to the very end of the project, Alex was very easy to communicate with and his follow through was prompt and efficient. He explained thoroughly what he would do. From the preparation ( house had many cracks that need attention), scraping, power washing, 2 coats of primer, caulking and filling in cracks to the finished look with 2 coats of quality paint ( Sherwin Williams Exterior Duration) the job was completed on time and exceptionally. Alex goes above and beyond to take care of his customers. He is professional and knows his business. His crew are hard working and pay attention to details. My chimney cover and cap were rusted and he even arranged to take care of that at a very reasonable price. If you need interior or exterior painting done, I highly recommend Alex with Smart & Beyond. He is exceptional and you will not be disappointed!"

"(In English, Spanish translation below) Neither my family nor I could be happier with Javier's integrity and the quality of his work both on the exterior and the interior of our home. We have hired him several times, and he is the only painter we will hire in the future. His work is impeccable. He works carefully and efficiently (e.g., without taking breaks and working on one part of our home while another part dried). We trusted him to work around the most valued possessions in our home, and we are extremely pleased with the results. He was always on time, provides precise estimates, and is amazing in his attention to detail. It has been many months since he did his work, and the paint looks as good as the day the work was completed. We first hired Javier to fix painting done by TWO other "professional" painters with whose work we were not satisfied. He was quickly able to turn mediocre painting, done by these lesser professionals, into what I can only call A+ painting. The evenness and precision of his painting made our walls, ceilings, and doors look like new after previous painters said that this kind of result was not possible. Javier painted quickly and extremely accurately. He “cut-in” the walls and ceilings perfectly. After he did his magic, even the deep red walls and bright white doors looked better than we could have imagined. We know you will find Javier to be reliable, hard-working, efficient, extremely honest, and truly a master painter—an Artist. (En Español) Ni mi familia ni yo podríamos estar más contentos con la integridad de Javier y la calidad de su trabajo tanto en el exterior como en el interior de nuestro hogar. Lo hemos contratado varias veces y él es el único pintor a quien contrataremos en el futuro. Su trabajo es impecable. Javier trabaja cuidadosa y eficientemente (por ejemplo, sin descansar: pintando en una parte de nuestro hogar mientras la otra pintura se seca). Le tenemos confianza para que trabaje cerca de las posesiones que más valoramos en nuestra casa y los resultados de su trabajo nos agradan sobremanera. Él es siempre puntual, provee estimaciones precisas y su atención a los detalles es extraordinaria. Han pasado ya muchos meses desde que él terminó con su trabajo y la pintura luce ahora tan bien como el día en que Javier completó su labor. La primera vez que contratamos a Javier fue para que reparara el trabajo hecho por otros DOS pintores "profesionales" con cuyos resultados no estuvimos satisfechos. Javier rápidamente transformó el trabajo mediocre, aquel de menor calidad realizado por otros pintores, en lo que yo solamente puedo llamar pintura A+. La uniformidad y la precisión de la pintura de Javier hizo que nuestras paredes, techos y puertas se vieran como nuevos aún después de que los pintores previos dijeran que ese tipo de resultado no sería posible. Javier pintó de manera muy rápida y con exactitud. Pintó el borde entre las paredes y los techos de manera perfecta. Después de hacer su magia, aún las paredes de color rojo oscuro y las puertas blancas brillantes se vieron mejor de lo que nosotros podríamos haber imaginado. Creemos que usted considerará a Javier como un pintor confiable, trabajador, eficiente, extremadamente honesto y, de verdad, un pintor maestro. Un artista."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Linoleum adhesive is quite stubborn, so you may have to try several different methods for removal. You can start with a wallpaper steamer and steam it off or add laundry detergent to water and let it soak into the adhesive. You can try paint thinner directly on the adhesive for about 10 minutes and then wipe away.

Paint removal is a time-consuming job that can take anywhere from an hour for small surfaces, like a single stair banister, to multiple days for larger projects, like removing paint from wood siding. Expect to spend between five and 20 minutes per square foot. You can use chemical paint strippers to speed up the process, but be sure you use proper protective gear and take care to pick a product that’s suited for your material.

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

WD-40 can help remove paint on wood floors, but use it cautiously. Start with a small amount and let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrape the paint off using a plastic (not metal) scraper. You may want to test it first on a hidden area to ensure it doesn't damage the finish. Professional products specifically designed for hardwood may be a better choice for large or stubborn paint spots.

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.
