"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 :)"
"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!"
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Richard Runston, I couldn't be more impressed with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The painter was professional, punctual, and attentive to every detail. They took great care in prepping the area, ensuring that everything was covered and protected, and the final outcome was flawless. The attention to detail in the strokes and the precision with which they worked made a significant difference. The space looks fresh, vibrant, and beautifully transformed. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable painter who takes pride in their craft. Truly a wonderful job!"

The best way to remove lead paint is by wet hand sanding and removing all dust and residue with a HEPA vacuum. Professionals may also strip and scrape lead-based paint with a paint scraper. In some cases, you may choose to have a pro encapsulate or enclose your lead-based paint surface by covering it with a sealant or a new material. You may also choose to replace the material altogether.
If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.
Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.
Pressure washing is the best way to remove paint that’s already peeling from certain types of vinyl and aluminum siding and some masonry. However, if the paint is largely intact and not yet peeling, or if your siding material can’t withstand the pressure, you may need to use other methods, such as chemical paint strippers, a heat gun, a paint scraper, or sanding.
Numerous primers on the market will do the job of covering peeling paint. The best primers for peeling paint are bonding or adhesive primers that essentially glue the edges of peeling paint back to the subsurface while providing a smooth, even surface for the new paint coat.
