"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 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.

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.

It’s best to use a slightly slower-working paint remover that is safer to use, such as mineral spirits, because the strongest spray paint removers are often also the most toxic. Many of these products contain dangerous chemicals, such as methylene chloride, which the EPA banned for most uses in April 2024 after it was established as a major carcinogen.

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.

Distilled white vinegar can help you remove candle wax from surfaces like countertops. You’ll need to scrape off most of the wax and use the distilled white vinegar to help soften and remove the rest and leftover residue. Keep in mind that while it’s possible, using distilled white vinegar isn’t an effective method for removing wax compared to the methods listed above.
