"I hired a deep clean and she did a good job but missed some things! The floors were not cleaned thoroughly, mirrors in my daughters room were missed, legs on desk were missed! With a deep clean I expected everything would be touched and cleaned! I think it was really a two man job because she was there for 6-7 hours! I have a small house too!"

"Maria was great, I had to make this review, even though I am not a computer person, but she deserves he recognition. Maria showed up here, very short women, but a power house, she gave me a price and the work began within 3 days. I couldn't believe my eyes, she is a total power house, she climbed up a 40 foot ladder like she was fearless, and when I seen her grab it, I offered my help, and all he crew members said, oh don't worry she is stronger than all of us, I laughed,
Anyway, my house was so perfectly painted and changed so much, invited guest were passing my house, because they did no recognize it. Her crew was very respectful of her, and hey all shared laughs, and accomplished allot. They were always professional, and the work, and work ethic, was flawless. he crew always dressed in Company shirts, and what I liked the most, their construction did not affect me a all, their ladders and supplies were always out of the way and did no block sidewalks, and at the end of the day, all stuff was cleaned up, and her equipment, locked behind my garage, not in it. Maria became friends with me and my wife, and we told her we would be upset if she did not stop and visit in the future, we loved her passion for her work, and personality is respectful, sweet, but fierce

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

You can find chemical and naturally derived paint thinners to remove paint without as much sanding. A heat gun or pressure washer can also remove paint from large areas. However, sanding is often the best way to remove the final bits of paint that remain on the surface.

Sanding paint that contains lead is never safe, and sanding modern paints can still be hazardous. However, you can protect yourself by wearing a high-quality respirator during the process or by using a wet-sanding technique. You can wet the wall and then sand or use a wet sanding tool to achieve this.
