Breathing New Life Into Your Home or Business

Removing the old layers of cracked, chipped, and worn paint is the first step to breathing new life into your home. The weathered exterior of your home will significantly benefit from stripping the old paint prior to applying a fresh coat of paint.

Interior walls, trim, and molding also needs to be removed when the surface has been damaged due to moisture causing cracks, chipping, and bubbling.

By getting rid of the previous coats of paint, Jo Painting, LLC is preparing the surfaces of your home or business to receive a fresh coat that will properly cure and endure the changing seasons and inclement weather here along the Atlantic coast for years to come.

Failing to properly prepare surfaces for painting can result in chipping and peeling and a reduced lifespan for the paint. For a FREE estimate, call (401) 662-5830.

Determining if Paint Stripping is Required

Many homeowners are unsure if they need removal services; we can help. Our professional team is happy to come out and look at your home's surfaces and give you the best advice for your situation. Some houses may not require paint removal, and we can paint directly over the previous coats.

The following is a short list of essential things we will be checking to determine if you need to strip the paint or not.

Do previous coats contain lead-based paint?

Was the previous paint applied unevenly or now showing a lot of chipping and damage that will show through even with a new coat?

Will removing the paint from these kinds of surfaces will ensure the new color goes on evenly, with a polished, finished appearance?

Depending on the type previously applied, the location being exterior or interior, and the number of layers that will be removed, we utilize different stripping methods. Power washing, steam, hand and electric sanders, and traditional heat guns will be used to remove most of the paint from surfaces.

We may also use a green stripper that is more environmentally friendly than conventional solvents, or caustic chemicals, and will let you know before working on our plan for removal at your house.

Lead Paint Removal

Our standard removal services are not technically a lead abatement service. However, we follow standard safety protocols and procedures when removing paint to reduce the risks associated with removals.

If the layers on your house date back to before 1978, it may contain lead, so extra precautions will be taken. Using a heat gun can vaporize the lead allowing it to be inhaled. Using traditional scrapers can be messy, and chips can easily stick to your fingers and accidentally be ingested or scatter onto the ground, causing lead contamination. This old paint is very hazardous and should only be removed by professionals like us.
