"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"

"I highly recommend this company. This has probably been my best experience with a painting contractor. Angel (owner) and Cesar were great to work with. Very professional with a high level of expertise that was demonstrated all throughout the job. High quality work and extremely neat (a very high bar when it comes to painting!). Regular updates throughout the project were excellent. Many interior rooms done as well as the garage. The two photos do not begin to highlight the high quality of the work."

"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."

"I called Taulant on a Tuesday late afternoon and within an hour he came by to look at what I needed done and was back as we agreed on Thursday to repair some drywall in my basement and paint. He did an excellent job with the drywall repair and painting. He’s very professional and lays down tarps and cleaned up each day. I’m looking forward to hiring him for my next project! Dave"

"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

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.

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.

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.

When a window is painted shut, this means that paint has gotten into the cracks when window sashes or window frames were being painted. It’s pretty easy for this sort of thing to happen while painting, but sometimes homeowners will use paint to seal drafty windows, which will often cause them to get stuck shut.

Scrape softened caulk with a putty knife or slice hardened caulk with a utility knife. Hard-to-remove caulk generally requires more time exposed to a softening solution, like a commercial product or rubbing alcohol. A few hours to a day later, the softened caulk will come off with the help of common household tools. In many cases, you can grab needle-nosed pliers for caulk with multiple old layers and pull the material off its base.
