"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"
"We had Ben do some patch work on the exterior of a relatively new house that wasn’t painted correctly during its construction (paint was peeling off because it wasn’t primed). He did a great job and importantly he did the job right. He worked hard to scrape and remove as much of the old paint in the affected areas and then made sure to prime and paint so everything looked brand new.
We were very happy with the quality and speed at which Ben got the job done! We will most certainly work with him again."
"They did a fine job. The company is efficient, arrives on schedule, does very good work and communicates quickly if there are any issues. I was completely satisfied with the job they did. I had them paint the interior of an entire home, including patching numerous holes. It looked like a new home when they were finished."

Yes. It's another reason many people choose to use the spray over an adhesive, as they can change patterns or remove it entirely with ease if they choose. You can use acetone with a rag or a vinegar and water solution (1/2 cup of vinegar to 12 ounces of water) with a cloth to help you scrub away frosted spray glass. NEVER mix these two methods together, though, and always work in a well-ventilated area.
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.
Soot can be harder to remove compared to other types of stains given its acidic nature. It can also cause underlying paint to peel off during the cleaning process. If your soot issue is a result of smoke damage, it’s recommended you call a pro to help remove it versus doing it yourself.
If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.
A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.
