Q: Do I need to remove all exterior paint before repainting?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s already there. Your house may also have too many pre-existing layers of old paint, in which case you&rsquo;ll be better off getting rid of the old layers first.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to paint over cracked paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over cracked paint, but only if you properly sand down the damaged areas. Once the surface is as smooth as you can get it, clean the walls and let them dry before applying a new coat of paint. Painting over cracked paint without sanding or cleaning beforehand will not cover up the cracks and may even make them look worse. </p></div>

Q: What is the benefit of hiring a professional painter?

• <div><p>One of the most significant benefits of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-things-consider-when-hiring-interior-painter.htm">hiring a professional painter</a> is that they complete the task faster and better.

Q: How do professionals remove paint?

• <div><p>Professionals may use a variety of methods to remove old paint from surfaces, often depending on the size and complexity of the surface. Paint scraping in combination with a chemical paint stripper is the most common method, but experts might also use heat or steam to loosen everything before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/paint-peeling-off-walls.htm">peeling the paint off</a>. Some might just sand off the old paint if the surface is relatively flat and easily accessible.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over lead paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over lead paint, or &ldquo;encapsulate&rdquo; it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-options-do-i-have-remove-lead-paint.htm">lead paint removal method</a> as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an &ldquo;encapsulant&rdquo; from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.</p></div>

"Doug did a beautiful job painting the interior of my home. He painted the walls, ceilings, and trim in my living room, dining room, hall, and kitchen.
