"Barry was prompt in meeting us, and thorough in his preparation of all of the interior walls and ceilings before painting. He managed to finish the job earlier than anticipated which was a big help. He left the work area clean and the overall job is very nice. I would not hesitate to hire Keane Painting again. Well done!"

"James did a wonderful job! He helped me to prepare for an upcoming lead inspection. He not only painted interior walls, but he patched walls where needed, and fixed some really problematic areas in my rear hallway. He stayed on task and was cost effective."

"Mark and Andrew did a GREAT job!!! They painted our Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen and ceilings. They did 2 coats of paint (Benjamin Moore) with 2 contrasting colors in the Dining Room. Mark really helped us in suggesting colors and finishes. In addition, we are going to have them do some more painting in our house!!"

"We hired Cassio and his crew to paint the interior of our condo and were very satisfied with his work. Cassio was professional from the moment we met him and that professionalism continued through completion of the project. We appreciated his flexibility while working around the holidays and in finishing the work in a timely manner as we were eager to move into our new home. His attention to detail showed in the final product, and although it ended up costing more than anticipated, we could not be happier with the work he did. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Boston Painting Services again in the future!"

Interior Painting questions, 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.

Distilled white vinegar can help you remove candle wax from surfaces like countertops. You’ll need to scrape off most of the wax and use the distilled white vinegar to help soften and remove the rest and leftover residue. Keep in mind that while it’s possible, using distilled white vinegar isn’t an effective method for removing wax compared to the methods listed above.

Clean and prime surfaces before repainting to ensure adhesion and durability.

Linoleum adhesive is quite stubborn, so you may have to try several different methods for removal. You can start with a wallpaper steamer and steam it off or add laundry detergent to water and let it soak into the adhesive. You can try paint thinner directly on the adhesive for about 10 minutes and then wipe away.

Scrape softened caulk with a putty knife or slice hardened caulk with a utility knife. Hard-to-remove caulk generally requires more time exposed to a softening solution, like a commercial product or rubbing alcohol. A few hours to a day later, the softened caulk will come off with the help of common household tools. In many cases, you can grab needle-nosed pliers for caulk with multiple old layers and pull the material off its base.
