"Chad painted the exterior of my house, including brick that had never been painted. His preparation, multi-step sealing/painting process, and overall quality of work were great. He regularly kept in touch on matters that required discussion, signaling a strong customer orientation. The one thing he could have done better was controlling paint chips that ended up in a planting bed. I am quite happy with his work and will use him again when I need painting done."

"Wilber and his team are true professionals. They are always on time, friendly, considerate, responsive, and their work is excellent. They are helping bring our 1903 fixer-upper back to her former glory. WR Painting has our highest recommendation."

"Just completed our exterior power washing, carpentry repairs as needed and house painting and they were very thorough. Only one small wood repair was done outside of the original quote, which was amazing given the scope of the project. Very conscientious with the daily clean up. The whole team was a pleasure to work with and we will call them for our upcoming interior projects."

"We have used Hatton Quality Painting for many years for both interior and exterior work. They are dependable and reliable and do excellent work. This job was no different. Their attention to details and the time they take to prep before painting is what sets them apart from other painters. They go above and beyond to make sure that the end product looks great."

"What a great experience for us. From first contact to final inspection, DeltaPro personnel were very professional, timely and helpful. DeltaPro responded to our request for an estimate promptly, scheduled a date, listened carefully to our needs and provided a detailed and timely estimate. Our project consisted of painting our kitchen ceiling, great room ceiling and walls, interior hallway walls including four (4) interior doors & trim, three (3) bedroom walls & window trim, five (5) closet doors, all baseboards and one exterior garage entry door. Once contracted, DeltaPro personnel coordinated and scheduled our project to fit into our calendar and followed up with us prior to their crew arriving. DeltaProâ s Project Manager arrived with their crew of three (3) painters on time with our signed contract to accomplish a pre-start walk-through with us and painting crew to ensure everyone understood what needed to be accomplished. Paint crew accomplished all required prep work according to contract specifications, started painting and finished everything ahead of schedule. DeltaProâ s Project Manager stayed in contact with us and painting crew and conducted the post-painting inspection with us after painting crew was done. Again, contracting our project with DeltaPro was a great experience from start to finish. Thank you for everything you did to accomplish our project in a timely, professional and expedient manner. My wife and I are thrilled with DeltaPro Painters!!"

"Jason and his team did a top-notch job on their project for us. The exterior of our house needed to be repainted. Jason was quick to give us a quote when we requested it. He was in communication with us on the timing of when the project would begin (there were several rain delays). Once the project started they were dedicated to our project and were very professional. They did a great job prepping, pressure washing, scraping off old peeling paint, caulking around windows, and even fixing a few spots where some of the wood had rotted. We were very happy with how everything turned out! I would highly recommend Jason and his team!"

"Highly professional and friendly individuals. They painted most of the exterior and partially the interior of our house. A little more flexibility would have made it ideal for me, yet overall I am very happy with the work."

Interior Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Professional painters often use a Turpentine-based solution to remove paint, since it can remove oil-based paint as well as acrylics and varnishes. It’s also an organic material derived from tree resin, so it’s less toxic than traditional paint strippers. Consult a professional cabinet refinisher or painter about the best materials to use for paint stripping.

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.

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.

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.

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.
