"Erskine was recommended by a neighbor, so I am passing along the favor. I had several projects to be done, he did an exemplary job on all of them. He was easy to work with, knowledgeable, and most of all - he took pride in his work. I’m sure he is capable of doing anything needed, but for me he capped off my stair railing, enclosed pavers in a wood frame so they can no longer shift, power washed my deck and deck furniture, power washed my walkway then painted it, and made a new threshold for my front door. He offers a free estimate, I recommend you call him."

"First of all the man explained every things involved to do the work . He was on time. It took two days to finish the job sand & paint. (due to wait for paint to dry). He always texted me when he was on his way . what impressed me about him was on time. End of each day, he cleaned up all dust & made sure no trash left behind. I was very impressed . I will certainly, recommend with out hesitation . He certainly earned the money. Note: I normally do not give 5 stars to any one. 4 stars is the best any one get. I was that impressed with his punctuality , character & work ethics."

"Started off very strong, but finished weak. Great guys, but attention to detail lacking. Good for general help and would definitely use them again, but would not use them for painting detailed projects."

Interior Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

The biggest issue with painting your interior walls with exterior paint isn’t the way the paint looks or performs—it’s the lack of ventilation. The higher quantities of VOCs in exterior paint will have a harder time dispersing in an enclosed space, so do everything you can to direct them out—like turning on a fan and opening your windows and doors. Afterward, you can simply prime and redo your walls with interior paint, and no one will know the difference.

This factor depends on exactly how much paint you remove from your hardwood floors. If it’s just a few small, hardly noticeable spots, refinishing won’t be necessary. However, if you completely strip your floors of paint, you will likely need to sand and finish them. 

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 do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it’s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.
