"Simon James is the owner of Happy Painting. Simon completed 3 projects for our group in 2020. Two of the projects were interior projects and the other project was a very large 3 story deck. Simon's performance on all of these projects was excellent. As a group - we could not have been any happier with Simon's work. On a scale of 1 to 10 - ( I would rate all of Simon's work as a 10 ). All of Simon's work was finished - ( On time and On budget ). Simon was also extremely pleasant to deal with on all projects. If you are planning a painting project in Southern Maine - ( I can only say that you will be making a mistake by not hiring Simon James of Happy Painting for your project ). Thank You, Chris Mullin - 207-274-4153 - ( please contact me )"

"I love ❤️ the paint job on my home Jose did a wonderful job he’s very professional and very kind would knock on the door to make sure he was doing everything exactly the way I wanted it . This company helps you with your color choices ,they came out 2 times with a smile but even after that I wanted to see several shades Rex came right out a 3rd time the next day and put color samples on my wall so I could choose the one I liked the best I have have to say what really touched me was I became very ill and was admitted into the hospital and besides for the norm of Jose telling me I hope you get well he asked if I needed anything at all and then Rex said the same thing . I was list for words I really believe if I was alone and needed some soup Jose wound have gotten it but the wok was beautiful everything was cleaned up they texted to say when they were here ,and when he was done for the day , and what time he would come the next day . I didn’t expect my bars to be in the price but was happily surprised to come home and see them painted also I recommend this company I definitely will be calling for my outside wall and interior painting to be done . Thanks Lenzen"

"Ben is a real pro. He had to paint the entire inside of our house while we were living in it. He painted all the ceilings, all the trim (which was stained and he primed and painted all of it) and all the walls. He prepped all the surfaces beforehand. His lines are almost perfect. I chose Ben because he had all 5 star reviews and his record is still holding. You will not be disappointed when you choose Ben to do your painting."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

To fix bubbling paint, scrape away any loose or blistered areas using a putty knife. Lightly sand the surface to smooth out rough edges and create a level finish. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, and any residue. Once the surface is clean and dry, apply a quality primer suited to the material you're painting. Finally, repaint the area, making sure to work in proper temperature and humidity conditions to prevent new bubbles from forming.

First off, take a breath. The good news is that interior paint, especially when used outside, won’t harm your health. The bad news is that you’re going to have to reapply the proper exterior paint at some point in the not-so-distant future. Otherwise the current coat will chip, crack, and fade, or worse, develop mold or an insect infestation without remediation.

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.

When determining the correct size of replacement windows you need for your home, you must take the horizontal and vertical measurements from inside, not outside. To measure the window horizontally, place the tape measure across the two inside window jambs. To take a vertical measurement, place the tape measure between the sill and head jamb.

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.
