"Andres and his team are very efficient. They stayed on schedule and promptly followed all the instructions. They were very thorough with their work and cleaned up everyday. Interior painting was very well done. Andres is a very likable person and well communicative. He answered all my questions patiently and took time to explain various issues. I will be using AMC painting for exterior painting soon. I will definitely recommend AMC painting 100%"

"Rob painted the hallway of our 4 storey condo, and also revarnished the much weathered front door. The entire project went so smoothly! Rob worked quickly, and neatly. The hallway looks fantastic. The entire job went so well, I asked him to paint our living room next!"

"The last job went just as well as the previous 2 times we used Worry Free painters. Nick was great to deal with; he kept his word and gave us a very fair price. The painters did a terrific job. They made sure the surfaces were very smooth by taking their time to patch and sand before painting. They were polite and friendly. They did a very professional job and thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. We used them 2 more times because of the terrific job they did the first time. All of the different painters were consistently professional. We  unconditionally recommend Nick and Worry Free Painters as professional painters. We were very pleased with the results.

Customers say: True professional

"Excellent. Could not be happier. Rich and his crew were very friendly, professional, punctual, and neat. I was given all the details of the job before any work began. They completed the job in a timely manner and it looks incredible. I received many compliments from family, friends, and neighbors. I would highly recommend North Jersey Specialists for any exterior or interior painting/power washing jobs. I hope to use them again in the future for some interior painting projects."

"They really went out of their way fixing a hole in the ceiling. They patched the hole perfectly and painted, but the paint didn't match. So for only $30 extra they took a sample to the store, matched the paint, bought some paint, and re-did the painting! They are very fair and honest and did a great job for us. For sure will re hire."

"Rafael and his team did an amazing job! | hired them to paint two bedrooms and a bathroom, and to remove the popcorn ceilings. They were kind, professional, and extremely detail-oriented. I was able to work with their interior designer to choose paint colors, which made the process even easier. They started the job quickly, were reasonably priced, and the quality was outstanding. I've already asked them to come back to paint the rest of my house. I highly recommend Superb Painting!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Jewel Coats Painting for an exterior painting project, and I could not be more satisfied with the results. Not only did they offer a generous discount when I switched my contract to them, but their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. From the outset, the team demonstrated a high level of expertise. They meticulously prepared the surfaces, ensuring that every nook and cranny was addressed before applying the first coat. The crew was both friendly and efficient, completing the job within the agreed timeframe without compromising on quality. The final finish is flawless? smooth, vibrant, and precisely what I envisioned. It's clear that Jewel Coats Painting uses top-quality materials and adheres to best practices in the industry. If you are considering an exterior painting project, I highly recommend Jewel Coats Painting. Their combination of skill, reliability, and customer-focused service makes t"

"Michael Kim, the proprietor, from the very beginning was 100% professional, responsible, knowledgeable, detailed oriented and genuinely a pleasure to deal with. He was always punctual and promptly answered emails and phone calls. His engagement with us included repainting 2 bedrooms, 2 hallways, living room and dining room, bathroom and kitchen, outside doors and windows along with wall paper removal (kitchen) and installation (bathroom). Painting included 2 coats of Benjamin Moore along with primer where necessary. We are extremely pleased with the results and would not hesitate to recommend his services'"

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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 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.

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.

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.

Most projects take 1-5 days, depending on the area size, paint adhesion, and removal technique chosen.
