"Charlie and his son did an absolutely amazing job fixing my interior walls. My home was built in 1864 with plaster and they were able to fix every imperfection. They worked very hard and delivered work beyond my expectations at a reasonable price. I highly recommend. I will be rehiring them for all future interior paint/wall restoration/ repairs."

"Mr. Ellis and his young adult crew were very professional in their approach to our project. Mr. Ellis told us what his crew was going to do and when they were going to do it. We wanted our slate sided home painted and these folks did a great job. They are the only business that still rolled and brushed paint. As far as we are concerned they are the best."

"I was able to get a fast quote and work started almost immediately. I had a whole house I needed help with and they were able to schedule licensed processionals for things that were needed. The painting work was absolutely amazing and everyone was so friendly. I would highly recommend this company."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

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 a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

Using a wire brush, forcefully scrub the surface to remove paint from metal. You’ll want to remove any lingering rust, too. For larger areas with caked-on rust, you may need to use a wire brush drill attachment. If the paint still won’t budge, apply a chemical paint stripper to the area and scrape off the paint, after following the paint stripper’s instructions.

Sandblasting is a common method for removing paint. It works great if the underlying material is tough. This is because you can then use more abrasive sandblast materials, making the paint removal process much faster and less expensive. If you plan on removing many layers of paint on smooth surfaces, you’ll need to be more careful about which materials you choose to use to sandblast.
