"Used them for painting kitchen cabinets. Did a meticulous job prepping and sealing off the work area. Final job was excellent. Cleaned everything up each day and did a beautiful job overall. Also had them paint some outside work and it was well done and reasonably priced. Nice guys too! From now on I wouldn t use anyone else."

"Excellent. They moved everything, sanded and prepped all surfaces and applied two coats of paint. When we discussed the job I forgot to ask him to paint the front door inside and outside so it wasn’t in the contract. I offered to pay extra, Chris said don’t worry about it and even bought the paint for the exterior of the door! The end result is a truly custom paint job that looks wonderful."

"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."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, but with caution. A floor grinder is intended to level and polish concrete, so it is a very powerful tool. To remove paint, the floor grinder should be set to 35 square feet per minute or less to minimize the pressure without the use of pocket weights. You might need to go over the surface two times to get any paint that has sunk into the concrete’s pores.

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.

If you recently splashed paint on the wrong area of a wooden object, remove it with a solvent or caustic paint stripper. Some paint that has yet to dry may be removable by hand with coarse sandpaper or a plastic scraper. Another trick for removing dried-on paint is rubbing a dab of nail polish remover on the paint to remove it, but avoid touching the bare wood surface.

The easiest and fastest way to remove paint from a surface is to use a chemical paint stripper to loosen the paint and then remove the paint using a paint scraper. You can also speed up the process by making the area as accessible as possible, which could include removing window sashes or taking doors off the hinges.
