"I hired Houser Construction LLC for an interior paint project (Living Room and Dining Room). Brandon did an amazing job. I am 1000% satisfied with the result. It looks better than the day I moved in. The price was fair for the amount of work that was performed. I will definitely recommend Brandon and Houser Construction to anyone in need of a contractor. I will use them again in the very near future."

"I have hired Mr. Mendez for five different interior paint projects, including kitchen cabinets, house interior, and condo interior to ready for renting and selling. He is amazing! Very trustworthy, great attention to detail, and very reasonable pricing. I would hire him again and again (and I have!) and recommend him highly for all your painting needs!"

"I highly recommend Emerald Painting. Roland was incredibly responsive and helpful with suggestions. His crew was professional, efficient, and skilled. We love the finished product - new exterior paint on a brick row house, repaired and painted concrete steps and porch, painted steel rail, and stained wooden deck. I will hire Roland and Emerald Painting for all similar future projects."

"We dealt with Edward. He promptly visited and was accommodating of our short turnaround to paint the interior of an 1800 sq. ft. home and single car garage door. They pushed to finish the project when delays arose (through no fault of their own), arrived early and worked continuously through the days, and the crew was always courteous. However, they rushed to finish the project and did not do a high-quality job on a series of built in bookcases/cabinets. It took over a month and a lot of follow up to get them to come back to fix. Also, we separately had our hardwood floors refinished just prior to the painting, and we have committed many hours to cleaning up paint spots ourselves. All in all spent over $7K and had a lot of clean up work to do , which for that total project cost is not a value for money in my opinion. If you have a large project, they can do the job, but I would not recommend them for detailed areas."

"Ferney and his team did an excellent job of taking down old walls, replacing portions of the ceiling and walls, building new walls, and installing electrical outlets and switches. They installed new doors and molding and prepared the new walls for painting, including priming the walls. They took pride in their workmanship and on several occasions worked well into the night, to get the project completed as soon as possible. They provided professional recommendations to ensure that the end result was the best possible. They were professional throughout this project."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

You can apply waterproofing over paint, but you won't get as much protection as you would if you painted the surface with a waterproof paint from the get-go. Not all waterproofing methods are compatible with painted surfaces, and they may not adhere well. This is especially true if the paint is glossy, old, or flaking. Waterproofing sealers are primarily meant to be applied to porous surfaces, like concrete, wood, or brick. 

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.
