"MQ Painting was very professional in every aspect of the work they completed for us. They power washed every surface prior to painting. All surfaces were sanded or scraped as needed. Two coats of stain we applied to all surfaces. The garage doors were stripped, stained and varnished. The deck railings were completely replaced and painted on a very large deck. Originally, Jose thought only a portion of the railing spindles needed to be replaced. As the job proceeded it was apparent that all spindles and railing wood needed to be replaced. The only additional charge was for the materials, not for labor even though every spindle needed to be individually cut from larger pieces of lumber. MQ was the only painting contractor who bid on our paint job who was willing to do all the woodwork repairs needed on the deck. Other contractors said we'd need to have someone repair the deck and then they would paint it. We appreciated working with just one contractor. Their painting and carpentry work was top notch. All workers were neat, punctual and conscientious. All materials and tools were picked up and stored at the end of every work day. I discovered MQ Painting through Angie's List. I highly recommend MQ Painting and would absolutely hire them again."

"We had a fantastic experience working with our painter! He painted our interior doors, trim, and our front door—and the results are absolutely beautiful. From the start, he was courteous, punctual, and professional. We found him through a referral on the NextDoor app, and he was quick to respond, coming out to provide an estimate the very next Monday. To our surprise and delight, he was available to start the following day and completed the entire project, along with his crew, in just one day. He even included a few extras, and his pricing was very fair. Our freshly painted yellow front door has given our home incredible curb appeal, and the interior looks completely refreshed—like a brand-new home. Even our young kids noticed and commented on how great everything looks! Highly recommend him if you're looking for high-quality work and a stress-free experience."

"I have been working with Paul for well over a decade for all my painting needs. The quality of their work is EXCELLENT, and let me tell you, I am very particular. He always comes into every project with a great attitude, professionalism, and enthusiasm. I have shopped around a few times and I consistently find his prices are very competitive. In summary, Paul has that rare combination of quality, reliability, good manners, and a willingness to put in the work and do a great job. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Linoleum adhesive is quite stubborn, so you may have to try several different methods for removal. You can start with a wallpaper steamer and steam it off or add laundry detergent to water and let it soak into the adhesive. You can try paint thinner directly on the adhesive for about 10 minutes and then wipe away.

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.

Sanding paint that contains lead is never safe, and sanding modern paints can still be hazardous. However, you can protect yourself by wearing a high-quality respirator during the process or by using a wet-sanding technique. You can wet the wall and then sand or use a wet sanding tool to achieve this.

Paint removal is a time-consuming job that can take anywhere from an hour for small surfaces, like a single stair banister, to multiple days for larger projects, like removing paint from wood siding. Expect to spend between five and 20 minutes per square foot. You can use chemical paint strippers to speed up the process, but be sure you use proper protective gear and take care to pick a product that’s suited for your material.

Professionals use safe, efficient methods that protect surfaces and prepare for new finishes.
