"Julio and his team painted our entire house interior including the ceilings and doors as well as our kitchen and bathroom cabinets. They were very professional and communicative, and answered all of our questions. We also found their prices to be very reasonable. Julio also stopped by multiple times to check on progress and answer any additional questions we had. The cabinet preparations were a lot of work, requiring his team to sand them down completely to remove previous paint layers, and the results look wonderful. He also offered to touch up areas where separate appliance installation projects had exposed unpainted wood, despite being outside the scope of the initial estimate. I would definitely recommend Julio and his team."

"Xander’s Coats Specialists transformed our interior. They didn’t just paint, they prepped the walls and ceiling by filling in holes and repairing cracks. They took down old curtains and patched everything up. They covered the built-ins, banisters, light fixtures, and the floors to keep everything clean. They completely transformed the space. The whole team was very professional and communicative. Overall I could not have asked for a better experience. I definitely recommend Xander’s! And I will hire them again in the future!"

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on paint type, surface condition, labor, and required prep work for repainting.

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.

The safest way to remove lead-based paint is by letting a professional take over. For most people, lead paint removal costs an average of $3,400. You should never attempt to dry sand old lead-based paint surfaces by hand. Most professionals use a paint stripper to do the job followed by wet scraping, but if you don’t want to remove lead paint, another option is to paint over it. Only consider this option if the old lead paint finish isn’t flaking or cracked.

Distilled white vinegar can help you remove candle wax from surfaces like countertops. You’ll need to scrape off most of the wax and use the distilled white vinegar to help soften and remove the rest and leftover residue. Keep in mind that while it’s possible, using distilled white vinegar isn’t an effective method for removing wax compared to the methods listed above.

The easiest way to remove window decals is to soak the area in hot, soapy water. Let it sit for 15 minutes before scraping it with a plastic scraper or the edge of a credit card. You can also remove window decals with white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or applying heat from a hairdryer or steam cleaner.
