"Splash of Colors painted our house interior, including cathedral ceilings, stairwells, and ceilings. They helped with color suggestions and paint advice. Work was completed professionally and efficiently in one day, including preparation and cleanup. Great attention to detail. And they are the nicest and most caring people you will ever work with. We are thrilled with the results. Highly recommend their services."

"We had a great experience with Denis painting the full interior of our new home. He was able to give us a quote soon after initially reaching out and was responsive throughout the entire process. We had the full interior painted (walls, ceilings, trim) in about 5 days start to finish. Denis and his team did great work and made sure things turned out the way we wanted. The result looks fantastic and we're extremely happy with everything that was done. We highly recommend DGR and would reach out to them again for any other interior painting work in the future."

Interior Painting questions, 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.

Linoleum adhesive is quite stubborn, so you may have to try several different methods for removal. You can start with a wallpaper steamer and steam it off or add laundry detergent to water and let it soak into the adhesive. You can try paint thinner directly on the adhesive for about 10 minutes and then wipe away.

Using a wire brush, forcefully scrub the surface to remove paint from metal. You’ll want to remove any lingering rust, too. For larger areas with caked-on rust, you may need to use a wire brush drill attachment. If the paint still won’t budge, apply a chemical paint stripper to the area and scrape off the paint, after following the paint stripper’s instructions.

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 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.
