"I had this company paint 6 rooms and install a powder room that was rough-ed in when I purchased the house.The painting was done well, and timely and great care was taken. The powder room install was not a smooth or coordinated affair. There were several subs that were utilized and there was no sense of schedule to the process. I ended up have to make several runs to home depot to buy sinks and toilets when the contractor was not able to install the one I originally purchased and they looked at before taking the contract. I would definitely recommend them for paining, but not much else."

"Chesapeake Painting was a pleasure to work with from the beginning to the end. They were prompt, courteous, and professional. From the time I requested a quote to the end of the project was two weeks. Even though it was a relatively small job they treated us as though we were million dollar clients. We will definitely be using them again."

"Exceptional Home Contracting Service by Marvin! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've had the pleasure of working with Marvin's home contracting business for over eight years now, and I can confidently say that he is an absolute gem in the industry. From interior and exterior painting to pressure washing, and a wide array of jobs including drywall installation, attic insulation, and even the meticulous demolition of a large exterior shed - Marvin's workmanship is nothing short of superb. One of the standout qualities of Marvin is his punctuality and efficiency. He not only starts on time but often finishes ahead of schedule, which is a rarity in the contracting world. This level of dedication and commitment to delivering top-notch results sets him apart from the rest. Throughout the years, I've come to rely on Marvin for various small and medium-sized projects, and each time, he has exceeded my expectations. His attention to detail is commendable, ensuring that every task is completed with precision and care. What truly stands out is Marvin's passion for his craft. It's evident in the flawless finishes he achieves, whether it's a fresh coat of paint or a complex installation job. His expertise and knowledge shine through in every project he undertakes. In short, I cannot recommend Marvin's home contracting business highly enough. If you're in need of a skilled, reliable, and dedicated contractor, look no further. Marvin's exceptional service and results speak for themselves. Don't hesitate to entrust your home improvement projects to him - you won't be disappointed!"

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, paint thinner can damage some surfaces. Specifically, it can cause a lot of damage to laminate flooring if applied incorrectly.

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.

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.

If you recently splashed paint on the wrong area of a wooden object, remove it with a solvent or caustic paint stripper. Some paint that has yet to dry may be removable by hand with coarse sandpaper or a plastic scraper. Another trick for removing dried-on paint is rubbing a dab of nail polish remover on the paint to remove it, but avoid touching the bare wood surface.

There are times when you should remove all exterior paint before repainting. This includes when you need to get rid of lead-based paint (which should be done by a pro), or if you need to apply a different finish than what’s already there. Your house may also have too many pre-existing layers of old paint, in which case you’ll be better off getting rid of the old layers first.
