"Daniel and his team did an excellent job painting the entire interior of the home from the ceilings, walls, baseboards, trim and doors to the closets and the garage. Daniel was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave great advice on colors and gloss. They were very quick and efficient, finishing the home in 7 days and that is with multiple coats of paint. The walls and closets had lots of damage and holes but Daniel and his team did a superb job patching them all up. Their painting was very clean too as the edges and wood trim did not have any paint drip. Daniel even helped me by installing a closet door, replacement of bad deck planks and fixing a missing baseboard! He provided receipts for all paint purchases and his price was very fair. Highly recommended!"

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

The safest way to remove lead-based paint is by letting a professional take over. For most people, lead paint removal costs an average of $3,400. You should never attempt to dry sand old lead-based paint surfaces by hand. Most professionals use a paint stripper to do the job followed by wet scraping, but if you don’t want to remove lead paint, another option is to paint over it. Only consider this option if the old lead paint finish isn’t flaking or cracked.

The list of what removes caulk residue includes rubbing alcohol. In some cases, rubbing alcohol can also help remove water-based caulk. However, old caulk or caulk that’s in layers from years of upkeep and projects might prove to be too much for simple rubbing alcohol and may require a caulk-removing solution from a home improvement store.  

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

To fix bubbling paint, scrape away any loose or blistered areas using a putty knife. Lightly sand the surface to smooth out rough edges and create a level finish. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, and any residue. Once the surface is clean and dry, apply a quality primer suited to the material you're painting. Finally, repaint the area, making sure to work in proper temperature and humidity conditions to prevent new bubbles from forming.

Technically, mineral spirits are a type of paint thinner, so they can be used for the same purposes. In most cases, pure mineral spirits are preferable to other paint thinners. Still, if necessary, you can successfully use paint thinners for most of the same applications, such as thinning or cleaning oil paints.
