"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."

"After taking a number of bids, I decided to go with Yolis C Painting. All positive reviews are well merited. We had him do some interior painting and the walls look like new. Outside trim: Admittingly, some of the old paint was chipping, but what we did not anticipate was that much of the wood had begun showing signs of rot (we own the house for 40 years). He repaired and painted it. If looking for fair pricing, professionalism, and detail orientated, they are the ones for you!"

"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. Heโ€™s very professional and lays down tarps and cleaned up each day. Iโ€™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."

"Manny from Rodrigoโ€™s Painting 1 Inc. is a genuine professional. He was reliable, coming every day he promised and the hours he promised as well. He stayed within budget and painted my entire house within a week. He was neat and organized and painted our home beautifully. Manny and his team were wonderful. My wife and I couldnโ€™t be happier with the job that was done. We would use Manny and his team again without hesitation! We would absolutely recommend Rodrigoโ€™s Painting 1 Inc."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Pressure washing is the best way to remove paint that’s already peeling from certain types of vinyl and aluminum siding and some masonry. However, if the paint is largely intact and not yet peeling, or if your siding material can’t withstand the pressure, you may need to use other methods, such as chemical paint strippers, a heat gun, a paint scraper, or sanding.

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. 

Professional lead-paint abatement companies use a variety of methods to remove lead-based paint, depending on each particular situation. Some of the most common methods include:

  • Total removal: $8–$17 per square foot

  • Demolition and replacement: $1,000–$15,000 per project

  • Encapsulation: $4 per square foot

  • Enclosure: $10 per square foot

  • Chemical stripping: $10–$17 per square foot

Professionals may use a variety of methods to remove old paint from surfaces, often depending on the size and complexity of the surface. Paint scraping in combination with a chemical paint stripper is the most common method, but experts might also use heat or steam to loosen everything before peeling the paint off. Some might just sand off the old paint if the surface is relatively flat and easily accessible.

Professional painters often use a Turpentine-based solution to remove paint, since it can remove oil-based paint as well as acrylics and varnishes. It’s also an organic material derived from tree resin, so it’s less toxic than traditional paint strippers. Consult a professional cabinet refinisher or painter about the best materials to use for paint stripping.
