"Jose and JC has done it again! He gave my bathroom a face lift. New floors and paint even repaired my sink (haven't had hot water for years) and replaced my knobs Ithe back of my washing machine and fixed the leak and replaced valves. He also redid my kitchen. New counter tops, new fan, new floor, painted the old cabinets and replaced other cabinets. He gave me a new sink and removed my dish washer (never used) and replaced it with another cabinet and of course he painted. He did an amazing job. It took less than a week! As said in a previous review he is very professional, reliable, and trustworthy. He did a good job cleaning up behind himself as well. Next will be my basement. Thanks Jose and JC!"

"A Step above Painting and Drywall are "exceptional". I need new flooring all on the 1st floor as well as needed the entire house (Interior) to be painted. Andres and his team did an outstanding job on my floors and painting. Tony (Mgr) is awesome - busy - but he does follow up, great person and team. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for your projects."

"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!!!"

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

The best way to remove lead paint is by wet hand sanding and removing all dust and residue with a HEPA vacuum. Professionals may also strip and scrape lead-based paint with a paint scraper. In some cases, you may choose to have a pro encapsulate or enclose your lead-based paint surface by covering it with a sealant or a new material. You may also choose to replace the material altogether.

To remove paint from brick with vinegar, you can use the vinegar in much the same way you would paint stripper. However, vinegar needs significantly more time to soak into the paint. Apply the vinegar with a spray bottle, let it soak in, then scrub the paint's surface.

When a window is painted shut, this means that paint has gotten into the cracks when window sashes or window frames were being painted. It’s pretty easy for this sort of thing to happen while painting, but sometimes homeowners will use paint to seal drafty windows, which will often cause them to get stuck shut.

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.
