"I needed the front of my townhouse painted, to include (6) shutters, a bay window above the garage door, the front door behind the storm door to include all caulking around the trim. While on the ANGI app, I requested a pro for a estimate and was promptly contacted by WILBER’s PAINTING, L.L.C. Wilber suggested a estimate date that met both of our needs and was “on-time” on the agreed date. The work was scheduled and the job was started within 5 days. The day before the scheduled start date, a two man crew arrived and power washed the front of the house. On the next morning, Wilber along with his skilled crew arrived promptly and completed the job within 8 hours. Wilber, met with his crew to verify all aspects of the job and to insure no miscommunications. All debris and, or trash was picked up when painting was completed and his workers went the extra step to include blowing off the area around the porch and driveway. I highly recommend Wilber’s Painting L.L.C. And will not hesitate to use him in the future for any and all interior/exterior painting jobs. A big shoutout to ANGI for all the help finding and recommending this company!! Buddy Walker Bealeton, Va."

"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."

"We reached out to Mr. Mendez for a quote, which turned out to be very reasonable. We accepted his offer and decided to proceed with the painting projects through Mendez Painting Services LLC. In addition to painting, we also needed to install crown molding and wainscoting throughout our entire first level. Mr. Mendez's crew arrived promptly and prepared the space by covering the floors and moving all items to the center of the rooms. They began by repairing cracks in the ceilings and walls and then proceeded to install the crown molding and wainscoting boxes. They even replaced two interior doors and painted the entire interior of our house. The team did a remarkable job on all the projects, and we are completely satisfied with the results. Our house now looks very different, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to hire them again in the future."

"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."

"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

Yes, many professionals use non-toxic removers and dust-free sanding techniques.

Professionals may use a variety of methods to remove old paint from surfaces, often depending on the size and complexity of the surface. Paint scraping in combination with a chemical paint stripper is the most common method, but experts might also use heat or steam to loosen everything before peeling the paint off. Some might just sand off the old paint if the surface is relatively flat and easily accessible.

You can remove powder coating with a chemical stripper, in a burn-off oven, or by sandblasting. Chemical strippers can remove most powder coatings in 20 minutes or less. But they are harsh and must be treated with care.

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.

WD-40 can help remove paint on wood floors, but use it cautiously. Start with a small amount and let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrape the paint off using a plastic (not metal) scraper. You may want to test it first on a hidden area to ensure it doesn't damage the finish. Professional products specifically designed for hardwood may be a better choice for large or stubborn paint spots.
