If I had a problem with anything, they were on top of it! Trust me, hardly any issues! We are having them back to paint the exterior of our home as well. We highly recommend this contractor!"

"I was very happy with Shane's Interior and Exterior Painting. He was prompt, articulate and professional. He painted my shed, house foundation, and iron railings. He did a much better job than I ever could have done and the price was very fair. I plan to use him again for interior work."

"Melinda did a fantastic job! She painted our kitchen, living room, entryway, hallway and bedroom. Additionally she painted our VERY high ceilings in the kitchen, living room and entryway. It was not an easy task, but Melinda got the job done on time and it looks great! Very professional and prompt, and great to work with. Would definitely hire this company again."

"We had an amazing experience with Lapuc Renovations! From start to finish, they were professional, detail-oriented, and truly dedicated to delivering high-quality work. The team was punctual, respectful, and took the time to ensure we were happy with the work. The drywall and paint job was fantastic and they were also great with prep and cleanup, leaving everything spotless when they were done. If you’re looking for skilled painters who take pride in their work, I strongly recommend Lapuc Renovations. We will definitely be using them again for future projects! Sue & Ben"

"A little higher priced, but best quality. Be sure to not mess up the schedule, if there is another contractor on site, the painters will leave the job if the other contractor is in their space, and you may not know it til late in the day."

"Fresh Start painting did two of my friends homes both interior and exterior. I was so impressed I had them come and paint multiple interior rooms in my home and then they painted the exterior of my home inclusive of my front porch and my screened in back porch. They are efficient, accommodating, detail oriented and so neat in cleaning up other than beautiful painting as a result you would never know they were here. Immaculate ~ and I have already rehired them for more work. Reasonable prices and worth every dime. Accommodating with my schedule ~ and I could just leave while they did their work. Lovely to be in a position of trust and reliability. PS they were fabulous working around my labrador and she moved from room to room to say hello and then she would tuck into a bed for a nap."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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 list of what removes caulk residue includes rubbing alcohol. In some cases, rubbing alcohol can also help remove water-based caulk. However, old caulk or caulk that’s in layers from years of upkeep and projects might prove to be too much for simple rubbing alcohol and may require a caulk-removing solution from a home improvement store.  

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.
