"Joseph and crew painted the entire interior of our home. They were courteous, punctual, and efficient. Joseph gave a written detailed free quote of the job. He was clear in all communications. They finished and cleaned up in time. I will hire them again for my future painting and carpentry needs. I highly recommend Just Right Carpentry and Painting, Inc."

"East Coast Painting and Finishes did an incredible job painting the interior of our home. Carlos finished a major project tackling our kitchen, living room, dining room, entryway, hallway, bathroom and garage. In addition to the interior painting, there was ceiling water damage repair, the baseboards needed total cosmetic repair and the garage wallboards were superbly repaired. The results are absolutely flawless! Beyond the amazing work, Carlos's professional suggestions for changes were incredibly helpful and spot on, making the final look even better than we envisioned. He went completely above and beyond with the heavy lifting, carefully moving furniture and doing extensive, meticulous prep work to ensure our floors and belongings were perfectly protected. He was respectful of our space, kept the house clean and worked incredibly hard every single day. If you want a trustworthy, hardworking and highly skilled professional for a painting and finishing project, look no further!!!"

"Juan was great! His workers are excellent! Prices were fair, they showed up on time, were neat and clean. Our house looks great and it was a difficult project as our center hall has 30 foot ceilings. They painted the family room, living room, dining room, kitchen and center hall. I would certainly recommend them to anyone considering painting their home."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

DIY is possible with strippers or sanding, but professional services ensure efficiency and prevent surface damage.

You can paint over cracked paint, but only if you properly sand down the damaged areas. Once the surface is as smooth as you can get it, clean the walls and let them dry before applying a new coat of paint. Painting over cracked paint without sanding or cleaning beforehand will not cover up the cracks and may even make them look worse.

It’s best to use a slightly slower-working paint remover that is safer to use, such as mineral spirits, because the strongest spray paint removers are often also the most toxic. Many of these products contain dangerous chemicals, such as methylene chloride, which the EPA banned for most uses in April 2024 after it was established as a major carcinogen.

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.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.
