"Kevin and his family Andrea, Drew, and Sarah came to help fix our interior paint situation. They painted ceilings, walls, and trim, and fixed significant cracking in walls in every room of our home. Our project was not easy. We have 16-foot ceilings in some spots. They went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the work. The old homeowners did some damage to the walls. They took hours and weeks to get paint off the trim, resurface the walls, and fill cracks from the house settling. I could not recommend them enough. We hope to hire them for our exterior paint this/next year! Thank you again Kevin and family!"
"Tom was great to work with and offered suggestions when asked. The painters were friendly, respectful of the property and they cleaned up each day. They asked us to look things over before they finished and let them know of any concerns so they could take care of them right away. The project started later and took longer than expected but that was primarily due to the uncooperative weather we've had this summer. The house looks great and we were very happy with the service!"
"Brandon and his crew were easy to work with and they provided excellent service. Would highly recommend B&L for any renovation projects, especially painting."

"MJ is great to work with. We’ve hired her three separate times now, first she did the entire lower level of our house, then later stained and painted the entire exterior, then later came back for the whole main floor. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat. MJ is easy to communicate with and helpful picking paint colors, making suggestions, etc… She works quickly and cleans up after her projects well. Her pricing seems very reasonable compared to other painters we’ve worked with. Were happy to recommend MJ to anyone."
Excellent! Ed and crew were very friendly and professional, on time, and called if there was a delay. He answered all of our questions and did a very thorough job. We wish we would have called him three years ago and will definitely call him again. We highly recommend him for all your painting needs! As a side note, we had a garage sale a couple of years ago and a lady that came bought some curtains to go in her newly wallpapered dining room. She said "if you ever need any wallpapering done call Ed Lundberg, they did an excellent job at my house!" So if we decide to do any wallpapering we will definitely call him for that project also.
"We have always painted the interior walls ourselves, but our new place has a higher ceiling. We hired Bill and it was one of our better decisions!! High quality, attention to detail, and done quickly."

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.
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.
While the above methods will help you remove paint from tiles, you may need to take a different approach to get rid of grout haze. If you’ve recently applied the grout, you may be able to wipe it off with a wet cloth. Otherwise, you can try removing it with a rubber grout float, spraying it with a mixture of four parts water to one part vinegar, or using a store-bought grout haze remover.
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.
The most common reason paint peels is because moisture gets trapped underneath it and disrupts its bond with the wall. Other causes for peeling paint include a poor original paint job, painting over a surface with dirt or other foreign material on it, or applying paint coats that are too thick.
