"Two years ago, Garry Stidham restored the exterior of my badly neglected Haile home I had recently purchased. Today, it still looks absolutely perfect! The home had no matching interior doors. I purchased solid wood, six-panel, unpainted interior slab doors and had Garry prime, paint and install these new doors. As with every project, Garry executed the job to perfection!!! The doors were fitted, then sprayed with two high quality primer coats and two final finish coats and finally installed. They are beyond beautiful!!! He changed out all the hinges and door knobs as well as the door stoppers. He also fixed one of the door frames which was previously crooked. Now, all the doors are beautiful and functional. Of course, I had several other items he took care of. Once I have him, I don't want to let him go! As always, only Garry works on my home!"

"You just don't get service like this anymore. First, they stayed in constant communication through Angie. All questions were quickly and thoroughly answered. They were able to get us in on our schedule and arrived on time every day. They covered everything to prevent paint from getting on the wood floors and carpets. They did walls, ceiling, trim and doors at a reasonable price. The work was very professionally done. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend this company."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $2 to $7 per square foot, depending on surface type, paint layers, and removal method.

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. 

Yes, you can paint over old exterior paint, but success depends on the condition of the existing paint and proper surface preparation. If the previous coating is in good shape (not cracked, peeling, or flaky), you can paint over it with less prep work. However, for the most durable and professional-looking results, follow these key preparation steps:

  • Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the exterior to remove all dirt, grime, and mildew. A pressure washer can be very effective for this.

  • Scrape and Sand: If the old paint is peeling, cracked, or flaky, you must scrape off all loose paint. After scraping, sand the surface to create a smooth, even base for the new paint. Sanding is especially important for wood siding.

  • Apply Primer: Using a quality exterior primer is highly recommended. It ensures the new paint adheres properly, improves durability, and provides a uniform finish. If you are painting a lighter color over a dark one, a tinted primer will help cover the old color more effectively.

Some brands offer paint-and-primer-in-one products for convenience. Taking the time to prepare the surface properly will not only increase your home's curb appeal but also help protect your siding and extend its life.

Sometimes you can get away with simply sanding and painting over small areas of peeling paint. However, the problem will likely return quickly, and the ridge between old and new paint will be visible. If you just need a quick fix and won't worry about appearance, chip away the peeling paint as much as possible, prime and paint the area, and skip the spackle step.

One of the most significant benefits of hiring a professional painter is that they complete the task faster and better. Generally, it takes about a day to paint a room, depending on dry time. If you're painting your entire house or the exterior of your home, that's a lot of time spent with a paintbrush in hand. Outsourcing this project to a painting pro will save you countless hours.

Other benefits of hiring a professional painter include:

  • Quality experience with painting 

  • Assistance with choosing colors

  • Using the right tools for the job

  • Extensive product knowledge
