"Growing up i always wanted the typical American lifestyle. Open yard, picket fence, little dog the whole works. Although, im not fully there yet. Tru Tone has helped me further the progress of my dream. Sadly, I was not blessed with being a painter. So, when I needed to have my newly purchased home renovated I took the internet and began searching. After discovering a few up and coming contractors I stumbled upon Tru Tone and it was honestly a great decision. The woman in charge was very knowledgeable, helpful, and had a very good attitude towards me fulfilling my dream and making my vision come to life. I would recommend this service to anyone because not only was the service provided great but also their manner in handling their business which seems to be a rarity nowadays."

"Tony was consciencious about providing an accurate quote. When he found something underneath that needed fixing, he contacted me even though it was only $60. His final bill was the original quote plus that $60, no more. The work was quality and he spent time repairing in the cold and working around the rain when it got to the painting. He did some difficult repair work and sealed my house from the weather, after it was damaged. He was good at returning calls and keeping me informed of progress and plans. I highly recommend him."

"I had two rooms painted recently and I’m so happy with how they turned out! She was extremely kind, respectful, and treated my home like her own. She took her time making sure everything was covered and cleaned up perfectly when she was finished. The color looks beautiful and completely brightened up my space — it honestly feels like a whole new home. It’s such a good feeling walking into those rooms now. I’d recommend KC Precision Painting 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.

The best way to remove lead paint is by wet hand sanding and removing all dust and residue with a HEPA vacuum. Professionals may also strip and scrape lead-based paint with a paint scraper. In some cases, you may choose to have a pro encapsulate or enclose your lead-based paint surface by covering it with a sealant or a new material. You may also choose to replace the material altogether.

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 paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.

With patience, you can often save a dried paintbrush. Soak the bristles overnight and clean the brush as you would any other time. You'll likely have to repeat the cleaning steps, including soaking, more than once.
