"We hired Erivan to paint the interior of our house. He offered several good suggestions. Our job required wallpaper removal and subsequent prep work. Within two weeks, the rooms were fully painted and look great. He kept the work area clean. Erivan and his team were a pleasure to work with"

"My crew from NSP was amazing. Professional, courteous, kind and on point to get the task done. Large 2 story colonial with addition and ovs garage. I believe it took total of 5 days because of early weather in October 22. No paint chips on ground, very conscious of my shrubs and gardens, you would not even know they were painting. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this outstanding company and would not hesitate to have them paint my home again. The price was very fair, the warranty good but most of all they always stayed in touch to let me know what was going to happen etc. My team, Frank, Benjamin and Valerio were amazing. Peter the owner and coordinator did a great job. Thank you again. My neighbors stopped to tell me how great my home looks and asked for the name of the painters for them in springtime. Thats says much about Northshore Painting. Great job, great professionalism, great job. VCM Billerica Ma"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Steve and his crew did a FANTASTIC job doing a full interior painting of our house. There were areas with writing on the walls, drywall damage, peeling paint and seams. They fixed all of it, advised us on which color options and sheens would look best, and completely transformed the feel of the house. They used very high quality paint. He was very communicative and prices were very fair. Highly recommend Bay State!"

"Mateo is an extremely reputable person and businessman. The quality of his work was superb. His work ethic was the best I have seen. We wish that there was more work we could have him do. I would and have recommend them for all interior painting. His attention to detail and paint prep was great. Please give this company a try, you wonâ t regret it. Jonathan Jodoin"

"Very prompt response after initial contact. Specialty painting was exactly what I needed and this small owner-operated business fit the bill completely. We had an initial visit where we met & he assessed what needed to be done. He has a terrific eye for color, and matched exactly what I had. Scheduling was very soon thereafter, with no delays. The repair of the damaged portions of my 30-year old faux surface is now complete and nobody could ever tell a repair has been done, it is so seamless. Very reasonable price, as well. We expect to be working with Renaissance Revival on another job in our house."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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

Yes, you can technically use a pressure washer to remove paint from brick, but it comes with a significant risk of damaging the brick surface. A high-power pressure washer can be fast but may leave the brick looking unsightly. The recommended method is to first apply a chemical paint stripper, following the product's instructions, and then use a stiff metal bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to remove the loosened paint. Due to the risk of damage, it is often best to hire a professional who can use low-stress methods.

Some homeowners have luck using pressure washers, but this only works for old or weaker concrete sealants and with very powerful pressure washers. You’ll get better results by pressure washing water-based sealants. However, it’s worth trying on any sealant if you’re hoping for the least toxic, least expensive, and most DIY-friendly option. To try this method, rent or buy the most powerful pressure washer you can find and take several passes at the concrete, completely pressure washing the entire area. You may need to repeat the process multiple times to see results.

The biggest issue with painting your interior walls with exterior paint isn’t the way the paint looks or performs—it’s the lack of ventilation. The higher quantities of VOCs in exterior paint will have a harder time dispersing in an enclosed space, so do everything you can to direct them out—like turning on a fan and opening your windows and doors. Afterward, you can simply prime and redo your walls with interior paint, and no one will know the difference.

Costs range from $2 to $7 per square foot, depending on surface type, paint layers, and removal method.
