"The final look was absolutely beautiful. A certain color i picked didn’t look how i expected it to & they were more than willing to paint over and redo that section with a different color of my choice. Everyone was very respectful & professional. I will be calling back for more inside work!"

"I searched on Angie’s List for a painter, and hired Shawn at the last minute. He did an amazing job. Shawn‘s work is neat cleaned up. His mess was on time and very professional and personal and I will hire Shawn again to do some more painting inside my home. I had my front door painted and my outside wood trim.. Shawn was very patient, very professional, did an excellent job. Shawn did an amazing job. The color looks great!. The sun beams right on my front door , so it’s refreshing to see the bright color again. onto my front door. Thank you Shawn!!!"

"Jonathan was great. He called right away talked about the work needed, sent an estimate and scheduled the work within three days. He knew I needed the work done right away so he did the eork on Sunday just to work me in right away. He showed up a few minutes early, worked almost 8 hours and cleaned up when the work was done. I will call Jonathan again when needed!!"

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Pressure washing is the best way to remove paint that’s already peeling from certain types of vinyl and aluminum siding and some masonry. However, if the paint is largely intact and not yet peeling, or if your siding material can’t withstand the pressure, you may need to use other methods, such as chemical paint strippers, a heat gun, a paint scraper, or sanding.

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.

You can paint over cracked paint, but only if you properly sand down the damaged areas. Once the surface is as smooth as you can get it, clean the walls and let them dry before applying a new coat of paint. Painting over cracked paint without sanding or cleaning beforehand will not cover up the cracks and may even make them look worse.

The biggest issue with painting your interior walls with exterior paint isn’t the way the paint looks or performs—it’s the lack of ventilation. The higher quantities of VOCs in exterior paint will have a harder time dispersing in an enclosed space, so do everything you can to direct them out—like turning on a fan and opening your windows and doors. Afterward, you can simply prime and redo your walls with interior paint, and no one will know the difference.

Yes, a magic eraser can remove candle wax. You can use it to remove all the candle wax from start to finish. Another option is to remove all large clumps with a dull knife and then pull out your magic eraser to finish the job. However, while the results can be impressive, a magic eraser shouldn’t be used on all surfaces since it can potentially damage them. If you try this method, test a small, hidden spot first and proceed cautiously.
