"Ray Gibbs has been doing home improvement work for me for 13 years. We are always amazed by the range of tasks he's able to tackle and the quality of his workmanship. Ray communicates promptly, runs on schedule, and provides good guidance when you're figuring out how to approach a project. Over the years, Ray has painted the interior of our entire 5000-sf home, upgraded lighting, remodeled a bathroom, upgraded kitchen cabinetry, resealed the front door and replaced all the hardware in the house. His work is excellent, and we highly recommend him."

"Kenny and his team did an exceptional job painting a few rooms and walls in a new house my family and I are moving into. The painting project consisted of 3 rooms and an accent wall. His team arrived promptly and got right to work. Overall, extremely satisfied with the finished product, quality of work, and price. I would consider hiring them again for their services on future projects."

Marvin is careful, hardworking, and honest. When there was any question, we worked it out easily. My wife and I really appreciated the quality of his work and look forward to working with him in the future."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Most spray paints are oil-based, meaning you will need a solvent to dissolve them, like paint thinner, lacquer thinner, or acetone. While solvents can be useful in removing paint, they are also very flammable and require the use of a respirator. Beyond that, these products may smear paint and cannot be used on all surfaces.

When a window is painted shut, this means that paint has gotten into the cracks when window sashes or window frames were being painted. It’s pretty easy for this sort of thing to happen while painting, but sometimes homeowners will use paint to seal drafty windows, which will often cause them to get stuck shut.

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

Professional painters often use a Turpentine-based solution to remove paint, since it can remove oil-based paint as well as acrylics and varnishes. It’s also an organic material derived from tree resin, so it’s less toxic than traditional paint strippers. Consult a professional cabinet refinisher or painter about the best materials to use for paint stripping.

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.
