"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

Soot can be harder to remove compared to other types of stains given its acidic nature. It can also cause underlying paint to peel off during the cleaning process. If your soot issue is a result of smoke damage, it’s recommended you call a pro to help remove it versus doing it yourself.

You can apply waterproofing over paint, but you won't get as much protection as you would if you painted the surface with a waterproof paint from the get-go. Not all waterproofing methods are compatible with painted surfaces, and they may not adhere well. This is especially true if the paint is glossy, old, or flaking. Waterproofing sealers are primarily meant to be applied to porous surfaces, like concrete, wood, or brick. 

DIY is possible with strippers or sanding, but professional services ensure efficiency and prevent surface damage.

You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.

This factor depends on exactly how much paint you remove from your hardwood floors. If it’s just a few small, hardly noticeable spots, refinishing won’t be necessary. However, if you completely strip your floors of paint, you will likely need to sand and finish them.
