The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and paid incredible attention to detail, ensuring a perfect finish. Our house looks fantastic, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend MAR Paintingfor any exterior painting project!"

"We had a house painting job which required peeling paint removal, priming and painting. Al did a great job with good attention to detail. He is a very conscientious person and has a great sense of humor. We’re hiring him for ongoing jobs."

Small jobs welcome

I've been painting for several years and learned the trade by working alongside my grandpa on a wide variety of projects. During that time, I've gained experience with everything from simple room repaints to detailed, custom paint work. I specialize in both interior and exterior painting and take pride in delivering clean lines, smooth finishes, and lasting results.\n\nI'm excited to take the next step by offering my services independently while bringing the same quality craftsmanship and attention to detail to every job. I proudly serve homeowners throughout the surrounding area and am happy to travel to nearby communities. I believe in honest communication, showing up when I say I will, and treating every home with the same care and respect as if it were my own. Whether you need a fresh coat of paint or a more intricate project, I'm committed to making sure you're completely satisfied with the finished result.

"Ron Laster was professional from the first contact which was nearly immediately after I submitted a request for a quote. His crew of 2 ( Curtis and JR) were very through and took careful measures when painting our home. Ron was always on time and pricing was right on track with my budget. He stuck to the plan and was always double checking his work to make sure it was done right. If not.... he would make it right which was hardly ever the case, He was always spot on with every step. My home is absolutely beautiful now. Inside and out. GREAT JOB, Ron Laster and crew!!!!!! Very happy with all that they did. Thanks a million ! would hire again and again."

"This was the best experience I’ve ever had with a contractor. Very professional. Very reasonable price. Aurther is very quick and his painting is awesome!! All freehand, no taping. He recommended Sherwin Williams paint, which made all the difference too. Our walls look brand new!! If he sees something that needs attention he will let you know. More than pleased with his work!!!!"

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, vinegar can remove polyurethane from wood, but it is a slow, inefficient, and inconsistent restoration method. Whatever your intention, it’s best to avoid using vinegar on wood with a polyurethane finish—though it can be an effective cleaner for other wood finishes.

Most spray paints are oil-based, meaning you will need a solvent to dissolve them, like paint thinner, lacquer thinner, or acetone. While solvents can be useful in removing paint, they are also very flammable and require the use of a respirator. Beyond that, these products may smear paint and cannot be used on all surfaces.

It’s best to use a slightly slower-working paint remover that is safer to use, such as mineral spirits, because the strongest spray paint removers are often also the most toxic. Many of these products contain dangerous chemicals, such as methylene chloride, which the EPA banned for most uses in April 2024 after it was established as a major carcinogen.

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.

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.
