"Leon (MDT) was very responsive in providing a fair estimate and showing up to perform the requested work as stated. He did a great job on all of the exterior painting and stucco patching. I would use him again and recommend MDT for any painting job you may have."

"Harald is great! He was able to accommodate my quick timeline. He painted the entire house and it looks wonderful. He was always willing to offer opinions on what would look best and what kind of paint/sheen to use. He was reasonably priced and pays a lot of attention to details. I would definitely hire again."

"CertaPro Painters did a great job painting all my wrought iron security bars , rails and doors. Dewayne did a great job of masking (there was a lot) making sure only the surfaces painted were painted. Dewayne was always on time (sometimes a little early), was courteous and respectful of me and my dog. He did a great job of cleaning up. Also, the price quoted was a great price. I would highly recommend and use them again."

"I'm so glad I found this company. They were quick to respond to my request. On time and got to work right away. We had them do a paint job and ended up having them do some stucco patch work as well. Both jobs turned out great. They are professional, friendly, and reasonable. We will definitely be working with them in the future."

"Adam was excellent to work with. He came on time to review the work that I wanted to be done, and the quote came quickly. He pointed out things that I should consider having addressed, and offered suggestions for these that covered a range of cost to do the work. Quality of his work (external house painting) was top notch, and he gave me daily updates on the progress. He cleaned up all work debris, and final cost was exactly what he had quoted. I will definitely use his services again."

Exterior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Paint removal is a time-consuming job that can take anywhere from an hour for small surfaces, like a single stair banister, to multiple days for larger projects, like removing paint from wood siding. Expect to spend between five and 20 minutes per square foot. You can use chemical paint strippers to speed up the process, but be sure you use proper protective gear and take care to pick a product that’s suited for your material.

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.

The easiest way to remove window decals is to soak the area in hot, soapy water. Let it sit for 15 minutes before scraping it with a plastic scraper or the edge of a credit card. You can also remove window decals with white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or applying heat from a hairdryer or steam cleaner.

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.

The safest way to remove lead-based paint is by letting a professional take over. For most people, lead paint removal costs an average of $3,400. You should never attempt to dry sand old lead-based paint surfaces by hand. Most professionals use a paint stripper to do the job followed by wet scraping, but if you don’t want to remove lead paint, another option is to paint over it. Only consider this option if the old lead paint finish isn’t flaking or cracked.
