"Our project involved removing wallpaper, that was painted over, painting trims, patching and covering some small tracks. We interviewed 4 companies and at the end we chose Dr Paint. They were professionals. Every day they would clean up, remove the trash. They worked on Saturday's so they can finish the job on a deadline we requested. And they did. The house looks great as a result of their work. I would recommend them to my family and friends. Great price and great job, we are very happy."

"They were very responsive to me and they paid a lot of attention to detail. They did exactly what the quote said they would do and they did all of the work within the time stated on the quote. The quote was substantially lower than some of the competition with the same level of service."

"Tom was in communication about wanting to paint in ideal conditions when the humidity was down, as the project was painting the interior of my garage. Once they started they took their time to make sure I was satisfied and even put more coats on in the high traffic areas to be sure the paint lasts longer. They did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend for paint projects."

"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 Rodrigo’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 couldn’t be happier with the job that was done. We would use Manny and his team again without hesitation! We would absolutely recommend Rodrigo’s Painting 1 Inc."

"Scott's a great guy, but not a professional painter. I found myself requesting a lot of touch-ups and re-do's, along with multiple requests for second coats of paint (which I made clear was agreed to at the outset of the engagement). I'm going to have to correct some of the work that was done, and add additional coats of paint here and there. Overall, I think the job was bigger than Scott realized at the beginning. However, Scott is very personable and a good dude. Hire him if you want a simple job done fast at a decent price. If you have a complex job, with a lot of drywall work, I recommend that you go with someone else."

"Luis was very fair on his price and came back to give a second coat to our garage floor when the first coat clearly did not cover adequately. There were also some issues with moisture in the garage walls that precluded the paint from sticking but he was able to resolve those."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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 find chemical and naturally derived paint thinners to remove paint without as much sanding. A heat gun or pressure washer can also remove paint from large areas. However, sanding is often the best way to remove the final bits of paint that remain on the surface.

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, paint thinner can damage some surfaces. Specifically, it can cause a lot of damage to laminate flooring if applied incorrectly.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.
