"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.

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

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

Paint removal is a time-consuming job that can take anywhere from an hour for small surfaces, like a single stair banister, to multiple days for larger projects, like removing paint from wood siding. Expect to spend between five and 20 minutes per square foot. You can use chemical paint strippers to speed up the process, but be sure you use proper protective gear and take care to pick a product that’s suited for your material.

Sanding surfaces, repairing damage, cleaning thoroughly, and using quality primers are all steps you can take for exterior home painting.

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.
