"L and L painting painted the entire interior of my home. I met with several contractors before hiring Rick and his crew and I am so glad I did . Rick and his crew took care of moving all of my heavy furniture and putting it back into place when the job was done. L and L painting was very friendly, professional and I without a doubt recommend hiring this company. My home looks beautiful, Thank you L and L painting!"

"Harry and his partner were prompt and thorough. We had quite a large drywall job and it was done quicky, professionally and reasonably priced! I would definitely hire and recommend Ceiling Renewers of Ohio. They were very patient with my 2 dogs barking and reassured them that they were noticed."

"Drew was fantastic! I hired him to excavate an overgrown beach area, install a weed barrier, and put in new sand. He promptly responded to my inquiry, set up an appointment to see the job, and provide a quote. On the day of the work, he arrived on time and worked efficiently throughout the day. Despite rain, he stayed to finish the job. He communicated throughout the day at various points in the project to insure I was satisfied before he moved on to next steps. Drew's solo business is relatively new, but he has several years of experience in his father's excavation business. Drew is knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him, and he will be my first call when I have another excavation project."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

WD-40 is an effective way to remove glue and other sticky residue from many surfaces, including wood. Spray the WD-40 on the area, allow the product to sit for a few minutes, then carefully wipe away the residue. As with other adhesive removal methods, test the WD-40 on an inconspicuous spot first to ensure it won’t damage the finish. 

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.
