"Wilson, Angel and their teams were amazing. Fair priced always on time and did an amazing job. They painted two cabin interiors and exteriors, trim and several patios. They always got the job done quicker than what was quoted and I will be using them again. Great group of guys. I am happy to supply them a reference whenever needed."

"R7 Painting did a fantastic job painting my house and staining my deck! They power washed everything first, then prepped in advance of painting. My deck had a few areas that needed to be replaced, so they did that as well. The workmen showed up promptly each morning and cleaned up each evening. All in all they did an A+ job. I have gotten many compliments on my newly painted house and have recommended them on our neighborhood website."

"Marvin the team leader and his crew were the very best. They came early and worked on the house for a full day. Any minor request I'd ask them they were happy to take care of. The price to paint our house was better than we expected. I highly recommend this company to paint anything you want done. A+++ rating!"

"We have had great experiences with Colorful Mountain! We originally hired them to paint the interior of our house which was no easy task. We have a two-story craftsman style home with LOTS or wood beams, etc. They are great communicators, on-time and schedule, and didn’t go over their original quote, did a fantastic job and were much more reasonably priced then other companies (stay away from One Day Painters!). We then hired them to replace some wood posts on our porch. Again, they did an excellent job. We will definitely hire this company again!"

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can paint over old exterior paint, but success depends on the condition of the existing paint and proper surface preparation. If the previous coating is in good shape (not cracked, peeling, or flaky), you can paint over it with less prep work. However, for the most durable and professional-looking results, follow these key preparation steps:

  • Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the exterior to remove all dirt, grime, and mildew. A pressure washer can be very effective for this.

  • Scrape and Sand: If the old paint is peeling, cracked, or flaky, you must scrape off all loose paint. After scraping, sand the surface to create a smooth, even base for the new paint. Sanding is especially important for wood siding.

  • Apply Primer: Using a quality exterior primer is highly recommended. It ensures the new paint adheres properly, improves durability, and provides a uniform finish. If you are painting a lighter color over a dark one, a tinted primer will help cover the old color more effectively.

Some brands offer paint-and-primer-in-one products for convenience. Taking the time to prepare the surface properly will not only increase your home's curb appeal but also help protect your siding and extend its life.

You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.

To fix bubbling paint, scrape away any loose or blistered areas using a putty knife. Lightly sand the surface to smooth out rough edges and create a level finish. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, and any residue. Once the surface is clean and dry, apply a quality primer suited to the material you're painting. Finally, repaint the area, making sure to work in proper temperature and humidity conditions to prevent new bubbles from forming.

Using a wire brush, forcefully scrub the surface to remove paint from metal. You’ll want to remove any lingering rust, too. For larger areas with caked-on rust, you may need to use a wire brush drill attachment. If the paint still won’t budge, apply a chemical paint stripper to the area and scrape off the paint, after following the paint stripper’s instructions.

Technically, mineral spirits are a type of paint thinner, so they can be used for the same purposes. In most cases, pure mineral spirits are preferable to other paint thinners. Still, if necessary, you can successfully use paint thinners for most of the same applications, such as thinning or cleaning oil paints.
