"I have never seen a better job. My house went from ugly and dull with old worn out texture coating that was peeling off. Now I have the best house on the block if with old windows the paint on the house looks as if it brand new."

"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."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Soot can be harder to remove compared to other types of stains given its acidic nature. It can also cause underlying paint to peel off during the cleaning process. If your soot issue is a result of smoke damage, it’s recommended you call a pro to help remove it versus doing it yourself.

The most common reason paint peels is because moisture gets trapped underneath it and disrupts its bond with the wall. Other causes for peeling paint include a poor original paint job, painting over a surface with dirt or other foreign material on it, or applying paint coats that are too thick.

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.

It’s best to use a slightly slower-working paint remover that is safer to use, such as mineral spirits, because the strongest spray paint removers are often also the most toxic. Many of these products contain dangerous chemicals, such as methylene chloride, which the EPA banned for most uses in April 2024 after it was established as a major carcinogen.

Professional lead-paint abatement companies use a variety of methods to remove lead-based paint, depending on each particular situation. Some of the most common methods include:

  • Total removal: $8–$17 per square foot

  • Demolition and replacement: $1,000–$15,000 per project

  • Encapsulation: $4 per square foot

  • Enclosure: $10 per square foot

  • Chemical stripping: $10–$17 per square foot
