"Jose and his crew were wonderful to work with. They were very professional and finished the job in 3 days (7 rooms and 2 hallways), walls, ceilings and trim. They made sure the job was done to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Advancepro for any painting job."
"Jose and his team do high quality work, are neat and tidy (including putting rooms back together end of day mid process so you don't have to live in a construction zone). They also sweep up as well - every day. I have never had professional painters be so diligent about that before! I used C&Painting for a fairly large interior job - and because of the high quality increased the scope to do some outdoor painting as well. Both jobs were done to my very exacting standards. Jose is also very customer focused - every day asking if there are any issues/problems he needs to take care of for that day. Also, their painting is high quality including edging, trim etc. Highly recommend!!"
"Exceptional, professional and skilled painter. We have received many compliments on the painting of our large wrap around porch. Mr. Mendez holds himself and his workers to high Standards. He and his crew are Dependable and reliable. We look forward to using him again for a major interior painting project. You would be fortunate to hire him as your painter."
"Was referred to Miguel Team after they painted the interior of my brother’s newly purchased home. Since then, I’ve hired them for multiple jobs, from newly renovated rental properties to the exterior of my own house. I’m always satisfied with their work and have received multiple compliments from friends, neighbors and other contractors. Miguel always provides expert advice when selecting paint finishes. Him and his team work fast, efficiently and are meticulously detailed. Would love to work with Miguel and his team again soon!"
"Outstanding job. Carlos and his paint team came in and collectively spray painted whole house interior - 3 floors. Spray painting left a remarkable streak-and brush-free finish. Excellent for empty house! Also great for rooms with furniture and household things in them as long as they are properly protected. This includes floor and fixture protection. I would definitely hire C&V again!"
"I highly recommend Emerald Painting. Roland was incredibly responsive and helpful with suggestions. His crew was professional, efficient, and skilled. We love the finished product - new exterior paint on a brick row house, repaired and painted concrete steps and porch, painted steel rail, and stained wooden deck. I will hire Roland and Emerald Painting for all similar future projects."
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.
Some methods of removing paint from metal that use physical force, like scraping or grinding, may damage the metal. Other methods like chemical strippers or acids are unlikely to damage the metal underneath, but take care using any method to strip paint to minimize the chance of damage.
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.
Professionals use safe, efficient methods that protect surfaces and prepare for new finishes.
You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.
