"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

Penetrating sealer seeps into concrete pores to protect it from moisture and staining, cracking, and mold caused by water. This means you cannot remove penetrating sealers like topical sealers. The good news is that penetrating sealant doesn’t have to be removed before resealing, as most topical sealers must. Instead, you’ll want to buy a compatible penetrating sealant (often the same kind already in the concrete) and apply it. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

WD-40 is an effective way to remove glue and other sticky residue from many surfaces, including wood. Spray the WD-40 on the area, allow the product to sit for a few minutes, then carefully wipe away the residue. As with other adhesive removal methods, test the WD-40 on an inconspicuous spot first to ensure it won’t damage the finish. 

Professionals may use a variety of methods to remove old paint from surfaces, often depending on the size and complexity of the surface. Paint scraping in combination with a chemical paint stripper is the most common method, but experts might also use heat or steam to loosen everything before peeling the paint off. Some might just sand off the old paint if the surface is relatively flat and easily accessible.

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.

Yes, a magic eraser can remove candle wax. You can use it to remove all the candle wax from start to finish. Another option is to remove all large clumps with a dull knife and then pull out your magic eraser to finish the job. However, while the results can be impressive, a magic eraser shouldn’t be used on all surfaces since it can potentially damage them. If you try this method, test a small, hidden spot first and proceed cautiously.
