"I've used JT Lawler for several interior paint projects including two whole home jobs. This time we just needed some detail work following a few home renovation projects and as always we turned to JT Lawler. They delivered a quality work product on time and were extremely careful around our new cabinets and appliance. I look forward to working with them again in the future."

"We contracted with Statewide Painting to paint the interior of our home. We needed woodwork repaired/replaced, wall and ceiling seams repaired, nail pops repaired, wallpaper removed, woodwork and windows painted. The job was a challenge since it involved almost every room in the house. Dan brought his team in, and in a little over three we the entire job was completed. The rooms needed 2 - 3 coats each along with the repairs. Shout out to two key members of Dan's team, David and Christian for their attention to detail and how accommodating they were for our requests. The team cleaned up at the end of each day, covered all the flooring and furniture when working in a room, and when extensive sanding needed to be done, they were able to seal the room in plastic to reduce the spackle dust. Dan was onsite most days to make sure things were progressing and many days were painting walls, woodwork anything that needed attention. We would highly recommend Statewide for your painting projects."

"I used EJ Painting 3 times. He did such a wonderful job the first time that I used him when I was selling a family house. He did a great job again so the next year, I had him paint the whole interior of my condo when I was selling. He is prompt and, most importantly, he never leaves a mess. He also has good opinions on what colors and finishes look best in particular areas. His work is so neat and perfect. I referred him to friends also ."

"We first met Mauricio and his brother when they were preparing the foundation for our garage for our contractor. We had them do some painting an window re-pointing tasks as well as some carpentry repairs and tiling. Everything came out great! They are diligent and reliable - I only wish I'd met them sooner. Heartily recommended!"

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

This factor depends on exactly how much paint you remove from your hardwood floors. If it’s just a few small, hardly noticeable spots, refinishing won’t be necessary. However, if you completely strip your floors of paint, you will likely need to sand and finish them. 

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. 

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.
