"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."

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.
It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.
While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.
You can apply waterproofing over paint, but you won't get as much protection as you would if you painted the surface with a waterproof paint from the get-go. Not all waterproofing methods are compatible with painted surfaces, and they may not adhere well. This is especially true if the paint is glossy, old, or flaking. Waterproofing sealers are primarily meant to be applied to porous surfaces, like concrete, wood, or brick.
Professional painters often use a Turpentine-based solution to remove paint, since it can remove oil-based paint as well as acrylics and varnishes. It’s also an organic material derived from tree resin, so it’s less toxic than traditional paint strippers. Consult a professional cabinet refinisher or painter about the best materials to use for paint stripping.
