"Clee is very responsive, professional and friendly. The crew showed up on time and were professional while in our homes. Price was a little higher than other companies but we picked quality and professionalism over our budget. I was really hesitant on having the cabinets painted, they were an antique washed color which made the kitchen feel dark and we had the cabinets painted a white creamy color which brightened the kitchen and the paint job was so well done that you’d never think they were painted."

"We are very happy with the service we received from Javier. He painted several interior doors for us and was fast, friendly, and a reasonable price. I’m very glad we hired him vs trying to do them all myself. He got it done in a fraction of the time that it was taking me. We will be hiring Javier again!"

"I was in need of immediate painting for a new office I was moving into. The Express team not only responded quickly to my request on Angi but came out the very next day to give me an estimate and then began the work within a couple of days! Painting was well done and my office respected—cleaned up as if they’d never been there. Highly recommend Express Yourself Paint."

"Without a doubt, Southwind Painting, Inc., was the best contractor I have ever worked with. Reliable, honest, punctual, hard-working, personable, and reasonable, are just a few words that come to mind. They also do quality work, and I am 100% satisfied with the work they did in my home and the project overall. I needed someone to paint my living room, stairwell, and 2nd floor landing. Also, the ceiling in the living room, the ceiling in the kitchen, dining, and short hallway needed to be redone after over 30 years of â abuseâ including some nasty water stains. I received multiple quotesâ ¦but Southwind Painting came in with a price I could live with. I am a senior living on a fixed income and Howie, of Southwind, worked with me, a complete novice to this type of thing, to make sure my project was reasonable, workable, all the bases were covered, and the scheduling was convenient. Howie, with his 40 years of experience, explained all the details about what I was to expect and there were no surprises with the job or the price. Howie took care of everything including the paint I had chosen. All I had to do was remove the breakables and items I could easily move. Howie and Todd moved everything else (and put everything back when they were done!). Howie and Todd arrived on time both days the project involved. Not 5 minutes late, or 15 minutes late, or within a 2-hour time frame. He said they would be here at 7:30 a.m. each day and they were here at 7:30 a.m. each day as promised. As soon as they arrived, they began working in earnest and didnâ t stop until the end of the day. Both gentlemen are professionals and excellent at their craft. They may have taken breaks, but I was not aware of them. They worked quickly, efficiently, and with much care. The walls and the ceilings look wonderful! They turned out better than I had hoped. And I do believe Howie and Todd enjoy what they do. Otherwise, how could a project go so well and with such wonderful results? I would highly recommend Southwind Painting, Inc. Better contractors, you will not find."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

You can remove powder coating with a chemical stripper, in a burn-off oven, or by sandblasting. Chemical strippers can remove most powder coatings in 20 minutes or less. But they are harsh and must be treated with care.

One of the most significant benefits of hiring a professional painter is that they complete the task faster and better. Generally, it takes about a day to paint a room, depending on dry time. If you're painting your entire house or the exterior of your home, that's a lot of time spent with a paintbrush in hand. Outsourcing this project to a painting pro will save you countless hours.

Other benefits of hiring a professional painter include:

  • Quality experience with painting 

  • Assistance with choosing colors

  • Using the right tools for the job

  • Extensive product knowledge

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.
