"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

Professionals may use a variety of methods to remove old paint from surfaces, often depending on the size and complexity of the surface. Paint scraping in combination with a chemical paint stripper is the most common method, but experts might also use heat or steam to loosen everything before peeling the paint off. Some might just sand off the old paint if the surface is relatively flat and easily accessible.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

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.

Pressure washing is the best way to remove paint that’s already peeling from certain types of vinyl and aluminum siding and some masonry. However, if the paint is largely intact and not yet peeling, or if your siding material can’t withstand the pressure, you may need to use other methods, such as chemical paint strippers, a heat gun, a paint scraper, or sanding.

Most spray paints are oil-based, meaning you will need a solvent to dissolve them, like paint thinner, lacquer thinner, or acetone. While solvents can be useful in removing paint, they are also very flammable and require the use of a respirator. Beyond that, these products may smear paint and cannot be used on all surfaces.
