"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!"

"Pro Painting and Restoration did a wonderful job. The price quote was very competitive. The interior painting of the ceilings, walls, baseboards, doors, trim, and door jambs turned out great. From sanding, to priming, to 2 coats of paint, it was all done correctly. I highly recommend this company."

"Eddie patched two areas in the ceiling. You cannot tell. He identified additional areas that needed to be repaired (and stayed with the original estimate), carefully inserted the patches, applied multiple layers of joint compound and a layer of tape, patiently allowing the joint compound to dry between each layer, sanded and applied prime paint over the area. He was neat and cleaned up during and after the project was finished. He was honest in his appraisal and sincere in his desire that I be satisfied with the job. Highly recommend him."

"I used Professional Painter for the second time. I hired them in March of 2024 as I stated in the review I posted at the time. Krystian is my painter for life. He arrived everyday on time. Almost every room in my house needed paint refreshing including base boards. After moving in we were left with wall dents and cracks. Krystian never fails he takes pride in his work and my house looks brand new. He loves painting I can tell. He checks each room one by one inspecting the finished product. His rates are very fair. He goes that extra step each time. No mess after he has completed the job. He is very clean and professional. I would use Krystian again in a heart beat. He has never failed to give his best. He is my family painter for life. Try him for yourself, you won't be disappointed."

"Very professional in all aspects and would highly recommend hiring Excellence Painting for any type of paint job. They are prompt and responsive. They listen to how you would like the paint job complete and provide you with an accurate quote. After they are completed with the project they do a walk-thru to ensure you are pleased with the work. They are never in a rush to finish the job. They take their time to ensure the work is profession and meets the customerâ s expectation. We hired them for multiple small-projects around the house and would hire them in a heartbeat."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

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.

This factor depends on exactly how much paint you remove from your hardwood floors. If it’s just a few small, hardly noticeable spots, refinishing won’t be necessary. However, if you completely strip your floors of paint, you will likely need to sand and finish them. 

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

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.
