"The crew worked efficiently and thoroughly to transform our home into what looks like a new house. They were exacting in their prep work, with every imperfection caulked and every window covered, before applying the paint on the body and the trim. They made sure to continually ask if we had questions, and they were very helpful as they made suggestions for the finished work. They really are the experts but they made sure to exact my opinions.

Specializing in wood finishes (cabinets etc.). Call today for more information. Free estimates available.

"Jerry and crew went out of their way to paint our living, dining, & kitchen area. They moved furniture, filled holes in the walls, & even refinished part of our ceiling. They did all prep work necessary (sanding wall surfaces and filling in seams so there was no surface that didn’t have paint on it). They used a high quality latex paint and did 2 coats on the walls. Would definitely hire again."

Our customer service and your satisfaction are our top priorities! Call us today for a free estimate at 402-207-2560. Thank you! Registered and Insured Contractors in Nebraska and Iowa, Better Business Bureau Accredited, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Lead Safe Certified Firm.

"Superb Painting was such a great choice for our kitchen refresh. Throughout the project, we interacted with co-owners Tim and Neall and master painters Levi and Miguel. The customer service was outstanding from all parties! They did a fabulous job of sanding, priming, and painting our kitchen cabinets and drawers. The craftsmanship they used to caulk and paint the cabinet doors makes them look brand new and brings our kitchen into the 21st century! They helped determine what colors to consider for cabinets, trim, and walls, and they were super responsive to any questions or concerns we had throughout the project. We can't say enough about the work ethic, professionalism, and communication we observed and experienced, and we highly recommend Superb Painting for any of your painting or siding needs. They will be our first call the next time we have another painting project!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can paint over already painted metal, but—before painting—you’ll want to use sandpaper on the area to achieve a rough surface. This helps prevent the paint from peeling or flaking. Remove damaged paint with 120-grit sandpaper. If the paint is in good condition, use 240-grit sandpaper. Brush off any dust before applying the primer. 

Phone jack installation can be a complicated project that requires cutting holes into just the right location in the wall and running delicate wiring. This sort of job is best left to the professionals. 

If the tiles are undamaged and in good condition, painting can be a safe method of encapsulating them, but it is important first to evaluate the state of the tiles before proceeding. If the tiles are deteriorating, damaged, or already loose, simply painting over them fails to address the underlying issues that can cause asbestos exposure. It is recommended to consult asbestos abatement experts in such situations to identify the best way to safely manage or remove the asbestos-containing materials. During the painting process, it is crucial to adhere to safety regulations and guidelines to reduce the potential health risks associated with asbestos exposure.

Most spray paint is fully dry after 24 hours, but knowing when the spray paint is dry depends on the type of dry paint criteria. Surface dry is a surface that’s dry enough for you to apply another coat of paint. Touch dryness is a little dryer than surface dryness and will feel dry if you gently touch it, but it’s really wet underneath the initial touch. Hard dry feels fully dry but can dent or smudge upon extra pressure. Thoroughly dry paint is completely dry. 

Use at least two coats of paint for exteriors for better coverage and added durability. When painting lighter colors over darker colors, a third coat of paint may be necessary to achieve full coverage of your home’s exterior. A durable paint specifically designed for the material of your home’s exterior will last the longest.
