"Excellent work! Great attention to detail - completed a difficult job, stood behind their work. Workers were all a pleasure to have on site. Definitely plan to hire again, for future work. Feel free to use me as a reference :)"
"Excellent. Brandon was professional, he was prompt, did everything he promised to do, his rates were very reasonable, his painting skills are phenomenal, his cleanup was immaculate, and he went the extra mile doing additional things for me. I really honestly can’t say enough good things about his work and his professionalism. I highly recommend hiring him for any painting that you need done. I will most definitely hire him again."
"MJ and her staff were very friendly, professional and did a phenomenal job! She had excellent ideas on selecting the best paint colors and went above and beyond my expectations to ensure I got a very nice finished product. She also gave me additional ideas on a carpet cleaner. I will definitely hire her again!"
"They did a very nice job. They stayed on the job and did what they said they would do. They were neat and tidy and the house looks great. We would use them again and we would highly recommend them."
"We have a one and a half story House with a small Dormer. Billy and JR did two coats of paint on cedar wood siding and trim. They were great to work with and they did a fabulous job! They work in the evenings rather than the day like other contractors but that worked better for us. Our only problem was the weather! They thought they would get done in a week or so but it ended up being a month because the weather didn't cooperate, which was out of their control entirely. If we ever have to paint the house again, we would definitely have them again!"

Technically, mineral spirits are a type of paint thinner, so they can be used for the same purposes. In most cases, pure mineral spirits are preferable to other paint thinners. Still, if necessary, you can successfully use paint thinners for most of the same applications, such as thinning or cleaning oil paints.
It’s best to use a slightly slower-working paint remover that is safer to use, such as mineral spirits, because the strongest spray paint removers are often also the most toxic. Many of these products contain dangerous chemicals, such as methylene chloride, which the EPA banned for most uses in April 2024 after it was established as a major carcinogen.
Costs range from $2 to $7 per square foot, depending on surface type, paint layers, and removal method.
Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.
Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.
