"A M Paint was fantastic. He did everything to my liking and was very expedient. I would recommend A M Paint to anybody. He also communicated very well and did not leave anything undone. I might add he left everything super clean. I was amazed by the good work that was done. Matter of fact, I hired him to do more than originally planned."

"Glenn and his team did an AMAZING job painting the interior of my house. They were able to answer any questions that I had about the project and finished the job on time. My house looks better than ever! I will definitely hire New Haven Painters again for any future painting projects."

"My kitchen has very little floor-to-ceiling wall space. Every side has cabinets, doors, windows and the majority of the painting work requires cutting in with a brush, so I didn't want to do it myself and risk getting paint on new cabinets. They did the work efficiently and without any problems.

"Bart gave us a very reasonable quote, came on time everyday and finished in a timely manner. He was very helpful in choosing paint color and wood and satin for wainscoting (which needed to be built and came out beautifully) the paint and the floors look great and we would recommend him and hope to have him back for future projects."

"The Cordova Painting crew was excellent! They are VERY professional and meticulous when it comes to cleanliness. We had our entire first floor interior painted including a two story foyer and great room. Cordova Painting came each day on time and ready to work. The painting and drywall results are fantastic!! They completed the job in just over 3 and half weeks and were very reasonably priced. What impressed us as well was that at the end of each day, they vacuumed and mopped our hardwood floors to clean up any dust they may have created that day. Incredible results due to their meticulous attention to detail. HIGHLY recommend Pedro and his crew!!"

"Tim Conway has done work for me for well over a decade. He has Tim Conway haspainted the exterior of my house. He has painted many interior rooms. He has treated and re-stained wood doors and wood work that has never been painted. He does quality work. He shows up when he says he will.Occasionally, I have asked him to do redo or modify something, and he is always very willing and very responsive. I trust him implicitly and allow him to work in my house when I am not here."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, vinegar can remove polyurethane from wood, but it is a slow, inefficient, and inconsistent restoration method. Whatever your intention, it’s best to avoid using vinegar on wood with a polyurethane finish—though it can be an effective cleaner for other wood finishes.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

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.
