"Very great value for my money! We hired him to do some exterior paint work and he did extra work for us! He painted some vents and completed repair work on the door jams. They look great! He put some extra effort to do some things that most painters would not!  I appreciates the great work he did for us."

"I was so impressed with Five Star Painting. I had 6 rooms painted and the work was very high quality. The painters were very professional and finished the work in a timely manner. They even stayed until 8:30 one night. They painted vaulted ceilings, all the baseboards, woodwork and doors. I had extimates from other companies. Their price was the most reasonable. I would highly recommend them. I also got help with paint selection free of charge."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Professionals may use a variety of methods to remove old paint from surfaces, often depending on the size and complexity of the surface. Paint scraping in combination with a chemical paint stripper is the most common method, but experts might also use heat or steam to loosen everything before peeling the paint off. Some might just sand off the old paint if the surface is relatively flat and easily accessible.

You can sand paint off a wall. However, it's difficult and time-consuming. Depending on why you wish to remove the paint, there are simpler ways to achieve similar results. Scraping off any loose paint and applying a skim coat is the most common way to hide a damaged wall or paint job.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

Linoleum adhesive is quite stubborn, so you may have to try several different methods for removal. You can start with a wallpaper steamer and steam it off or add laundry detergent to water and let it soak into the adhesive. You can try paint thinner directly on the adhesive for about 10 minutes and then wipe away.

Sanding paint that contains lead is never safe, and sanding modern paints can still be hazardous. However, you can protect yourself by wearing a high-quality respirator during the process or by using a wet-sanding technique. You can wet the wall and then sand or use a wet sanding tool to achieve this.
