"Guy Ouellette Painting and his crew did phenomenal work for us! He went above and beyond helping paint my first home and provided professional consultation when we had water damage to our second brand new construction home. My first home I was anxious to move in with fresh paint and new color scheme. Guy new which colors were trending and provided a color scheme that exceeded my expectations. He and his crew worked diligently and with such great attention to detail. His communication with me on the status of the work was greatly appreciated and he got my first home ready for move in a timely manner. We will definitely be using his services again! Guy Ouellette is a man you can trust and know he will get the job done right. Thank you Guy!"

"Mike and his crew were phenomenal. They painted the exterior of our home, including a fence and pool house. The prep and the work was meticulous. Not only was the work great but the guys were kind, professional, and easy to have around. Very fair pricing as well. We will be having them back to do our interior work. Thanks, Mike! It was a pleasure."

"I highly recommend CRS Painting for any home improvement needs. They recently completed several projects at my home, including painting the exterior of the house, installing vinyl flooring, and removing a popcorn ceiling in the bathroom. Their work was high quality, done efficiently, and the team was professional and respectful throughout the process. Communication was clear and timely, and they took care to ensure everything was completed to my satisfaction. If you’re looking for a dependable and skilled team for painting or general home updates, CRS Painting is an excellent choice."

The quality was second to none and when the job was done, there was no mess, just a beautiful paint job. I will be hiring Prolific Painting again and would recommend this company to anyone who asked."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Penetrating sealer seeps into concrete pores to protect it from moisture and staining, cracking, and mold caused by water. This means you cannot remove penetrating sealers like topical sealers. The good news is that penetrating sealant doesn’t have to be removed before resealing, as most topical sealers must. Instead, you’ll want to buy a compatible penetrating sealant (often the same kind already in the concrete) and apply it. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.

You can find chemical and naturally derived paint thinners to remove paint without as much sanding. A heat gun or pressure washer can also remove paint from large areas. However, sanding is often the best way to remove the final bits of paint that remain on the surface.

DIY is possible with strippers or sanding, but professional services ensure efficiency and prevent surface damage.

If you’re painting your home or monitoring a job as it’s being completed, squash the issue ASAP if you notice paint is getting onto the roof. Keeping it clean is one of the keys to extending your roof’s life.

Removing latex paint before it dries is much easier and lowers the risk of damaging your shingles (more on that below). Simply spray the spot with a hose for one to two minutes to clear away the drying paint. In general, this is a good way to remove ugly stains from your roof without using chemicals.
