"Five Star went above and beyond. First off they were on time! They painted my livingroom and hallway 3 different colors. I just can't tell you how bad of shape they were in. They took their time. 3 guys who worked here.After they were done I was literally in shock at the excellent job that they did. They paid attention to every single detail. I am enjoying a beautiful livingroom and hallway every day. Do NOT hesitate to hire them. They are excellent painters. Customer Service was great! Everything. I will definitely hire them again in a second if I need more painting done. Five star was and is the BEST. Thank you Five ð . Enjoying the fruits of your labor every single day. I am a very happy customer. They also cleaned up after wards excellent! What a paint job they all did. Ty!!!"

Customers say: Quick response

"They are very courteous and thorough. They always showed up when they said they would. You can count on them. They took care that there was no overspray of paint on anything else when they sprayed the fence. They explained everything before starting and cleaned up when they were finished. I also asked Emiliano for a quote for painting my house."

Exterior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Acetone—such as the type in nail polish remover—is a solvent that can remove paint from many surfaces, including wood. However, the acetone will also remove any finish on the wood and can stain the wood below.

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.

Distilled white vinegar can help you remove candle wax from surfaces like countertops. You’ll need to scrape off most of the wax and use the distilled white vinegar to help soften and remove the rest and leftover residue. Keep in mind that while it’s possible, using distilled white vinegar isn’t an effective method for removing wax compared to the methods listed above.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

To remove painted-over hinges for replacement or paint removal, you should use a utility knife to score around the edges of the hinges gently. Work very carefully so as not to damage the surrounding area. From there, you can unscrew the hinges and gently pry them off the door, making sure not to bend the metal.
