"We had an excellent experience with this interior painter. From the initial estimate to the final walkthrough, everything was handled professionally and with great attention to detail. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations?was flawless and beautiful! Best of all the entire space was left clean and tidy each day. They were punctual, communicative, and properly prepare the surfaces, which really showed in the finished result. Our home looks refreshed and beautiful, and we?ve received several compliments. I would highly recommend this painter to anyone looking for high-quality interior painting work. We will definitely use their services again for future projects."

"Ivan was great to work with. We had him replace siding and all windows, paint outside, a new front door, paint all walls and ceilings inside, replace counter-tops, paint cabinets and trim, remove an interior wall and bar, replace all sinks, add new lighting plus numerous small projects. He checked in daily to make sure the work was getting done properly. We encountered some delays (much of which was out of his control) but he always did everything in his power to make things right. He was willing to do whatever it took to make us happy. He treated us with integrity and the prices were very reasonable. We love the new look to the house and would definitely use him again"

"It went fairly well - it took some time to get it scheduled and the person came about 15 minutes late, but he did an excellent job. Also, when the paint was not adhering properly in the second bathroom, the worker called the owner, and the three of us decided that I should double check to see if there was a leak or mold in the wall before continuing with the job. The owner also did not charge the full amount since the second bathroom was not painted. The worker left the bathroom and bedroom very clean. I'd love to hire them again, but it can be difficult to get a call back at times."

"My experience with Jared and Paula couldn’t have went any better and I love my new kitchen! They were on time, communicated daily even when I had a ton of questions choosing a color. I am so impressed with the quality and durability of my cabinets. They even painted my kitchen for free! I will definitely use them again in the near future!"

"I had Grant and Simon prep and stain my new deck. It’s a pretty large deck and they were able to finish it all in one day! Grant was very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to picking the correct stain and choosing the best time to do the work (weather permitting). They were very easy to work with and I would absolutely recommend Unshaken Painting for outdoor deck staining."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

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 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.

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.

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.

The easiest and fastest way to remove paint from a surface is to use a chemical paint stripper to loosen the paint and then remove the paint using a paint scraper. You can also speed up the process by making the area as accessible as possible, which could include removing window sashes or taking doors off the hinges.
