"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Foster and his crew while they completed an extensive interior paint job in two days! Prompt and efficient communication via text and phone calls and the crew showed up AS SCHEDULED and ON TIME!! WOW! Foster also went above and beyond to help us locate extra cans of a specific paint that is currently limited due to supply chain issues. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. We have worked with many contractors over the years and in our experience, Foster excels at running a professional business with customer service being his greatest asset. Thank you, Foster and crew, for delivering on your promises."

"Alex and his team did a great job remodeling my kitchen. And doing some additional paint jobs in other areas of the house. They were very professional, courteous, and accommodating to our needs and last - minute change requests. They kept us well informed throughout the process and delivered on all fronts. My wife and I are pleased with the results and will continue to work with them on future home projects."

"I needed an upgrade to my outdate kitchen and dining area. It was in drastic need of dated wallpaper to be stripped off and new paint colors applied across the board. Jose and crew were very punctual and did a thorough job. It has restored my faith in local contractors again after a bad experience with a contractor installing our sump pump."

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.

The easiest and fastest way to remove paint from a surface is to use a chemical paint stripper to loosen the paint and then remove the paint using a paint scraper. You can also speed up the process by making the area as accessible as possible, which could include removing window sashes or taking doors off the hinges.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

DIY is possible with strippers or sanding, but professional services ensure efficiency and prevent surface damage.
