"From the start the Preemo Painting company was easy to deal with. The crew that painted the exterior of our house was always prompt to work and always cleaned up at the end of the day. The work was of high quality and was complemented by many of the neighbors. Would highly recommend to use for all your painting needs"

"Derek end his team at Complete Painting & Restoration truly exceeded our expectations. As first time homebuyers, the prospect of painting all 2,100 sqft of our townhouse one neutral wall color with one trim seemed daunting. Derek and his team made the entire process seamless and even helped us select colors. We will definitely be using Complete Painting & Restoration again."

"Jasmine and Angel did such a wonderful job painting our interior. The detailing was so precise. They were so efficient and finished the project in the time they had stated it would take. I would absolutely hire then for future projects. Not only are they professional they are incredibly kind and listened to everything I imagined the finished project to look like."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

The most common reason paint peels is because moisture gets trapped underneath it and disrupts its bond with the wall. Other causes for peeling paint include a poor original paint job, painting over a surface with dirt or other foreign material on it, or applying paint coats that are too thick.

Yes, but with caution. A floor grinder is intended to level and polish concrete, so it is a very powerful tool. To remove paint, the floor grinder should be set to 35 square feet per minute or less to minimize the pressure without the use of pocket weights. You might need to go over the surface two times to get any paint that has sunk into the concrete’s pores.

There are times when you should remove all exterior paint before repainting. This includes when you need to get rid of lead-based paint (which should be done by a pro), or if you need to apply a different finish than what’s already there. Your house may also have too many pre-existing layers of old paint, in which case you’ll be better off getting rid of the old layers first.

First off, take a breath. The good news is that interior paint, especially when used outside, won’t harm your health. The bad news is that you’re going to have to reapply the proper exterior paint at some point in the not-so-distant future. Otherwise the current coat will chip, crack, and fade, or worse, develop mold or an insect infestation without remediation.

Some homeowners have luck using pressure washers, but this only works for old or weaker concrete sealants and with very powerful pressure washers. You’ll get better results by pressure washing water-based sealants. However, it’s worth trying on any sealant if you’re hoping for the least toxic, least expensive, and most DIY-friendly option. To try this method, rent or buy the most powerful pressure washer you can find and take several passes at the concrete, completely pressure washing the entire area. You may need to repeat the process multiple times to see results.
