"We were extremally happy with Grady Jones Paint Contractors. The painters that did our interior painting were very professional and pleasant to deal with. Fred and Chris did a fantastic job. They were neat and cleaned up very nicely when the job was finished. We have more painting that needs to be done and we will definitely hire Grady Jones for that job also."

"We had previously hired Paz Painting to remove popcorn from the ceilings in 2 rooms and hired his crew again to do the same in our dining and living rooms, an entryway and the upstairs stairwell ceiling. They also painted several rooms. They did a great job in both regards and did a nice job of cleaning up when done. Narciso is easy to work with and I would definitely hire his company again."

"We hired Express Yourself Paint for two painting projects that included the entire interior of a townhouse and its enclosed sunroom, in addition to some bathroom caulking work. John, the customer service manager, was very professional, courteous and responsive to our needs. He seemed to work overtime to answer numerous questions and to address concerns during the whole process, in such a timely manner. Brent, who provided estimates, was very knowledgeable and provided great recommendations and pertinent information regarding paint colors and finishes. Michael and his painting crew did a meticulous and beautiful job painting our townhouse and sunroom. Michael was dedicated to having a satisfied customer and he achieved his goal! We will not hesitate to call upon them again for any future painting projects!"

"I requested a quote on a Sunday morning and in less than two hours Howie was at my house to provide an estimate and walk me through everything. Howie and Todd did an amazing job painting my foyer, upstairs loft, hallway and ceilings for me in a timely manner. They arrived every day on time and never left anything a mess at the end of the day. If you want the job done right these two are ones you can trust, i'll be calling them for my other painting needs in the future!"

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

Yes, WD-40 can be used to remove dried paint, including spray paint, from surfaces like metal because it acts as a solvent. To use this method, spray enough WD-40 to completely cover the paint and let it sit for five to ten minutes. Afterward, gently scrub the area with a cloth to remove the paint. Be aware that this method might leave behind a greasy film that can attract dirt.

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.

While a pressure washer is certainly powerful enough to remove old and peeling paint, this is not a great idea to do yourself. The pressure washer is so powerful that you could actually damage the walls as you strip away the paint. It’s best to leave paint stripping to the pros. 

You can find chemical and naturally derived paint thinners to remove paint without as much sanding. A heat gun or pressure washer can also remove paint from large areas. However, sanding is often the best way to remove the final bits of paint that remain on the surface.
