"I reached out originally just to get my porch beams repainted, but when MQ came out to complete an estimate they noticed rotting wood and provided a quote to rebuild the facade on the supports, finish and paint. The work they did was excellent. Considering that I didn't originally budget for a job of this size it was well worth the cost to have them do the work. I would hire them again."

"We moved to a new home and were looking for a painter on a emergency basis before moving our furniture. Yolis painting services did excellent job on the same day we got estimate and work was done with the highest quality. We hired them for our second home too. Next we will hire them to paint our entire home. I would definitely recommend Yolis painting services."

"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!"

"Excellent paint contractor. The whole house got painted and it was well planned, organized. I put the job out for bid and Chris's quote was reasonable and fair. He also followed up with me to see if he got the job. Good work ethic. I would call him back again for another project."

Interior Painting FAQs, 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.

Yes, you can paint over old exterior paint, but success depends on the condition of the existing paint and proper surface preparation. If the previous coating is in good shape (not cracked, peeling, or flaky), you can paint over it with less prep work. However, for the most durable and professional-looking results, follow these key preparation steps:

  • Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the exterior to remove all dirt, grime, and mildew. A pressure washer can be very effective for this.

  • Scrape and Sand: If the old paint is peeling, cracked, or flaky, you must scrape off all loose paint. After scraping, sand the surface to create a smooth, even base for the new paint. Sanding is especially important for wood siding.

  • Apply Primer: Using a quality exterior primer is highly recommended. It ensures the new paint adheres properly, improves durability, and provides a uniform finish. If you are painting a lighter color over a dark one, a tinted primer will help cover the old color more effectively.

Some brands offer paint-and-primer-in-one products for convenience. Taking the time to prepare the surface properly will not only increase your home's curb appeal but also help protect your siding and extend its life.

You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.

Sanding surfaces, repairing damage, cleaning thoroughly, and using quality primers are all steps you can take for exterior home painting.

Yes, vinegar can remove polyurethane from wood, but it is a slow, inefficient, and inconsistent restoration method. Whatever your intention, it’s best to avoid using vinegar on wood with a polyurethane finish—though it can be an effective cleaner for other wood finishes.
