How much does exterior house painting cost in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati?

Exterior painting cost depends on paintable surface area, prep needs (especially scraping/sanding/priming), trim detail, height/access, and the number of colors. After a walkthrough, we provide a clear scope and estimate so you know what’s included and why.

How long does exterior house painting take?

Timeline depends on weather windows, how much prep is required, dry time between coats, and detail work like trim and doors. We outline a realistic schedule during your estimate so the job isn’t rushed between rain or humidity.

Can you fix peeling paint before repainting the exterior?

Yes. We don’t paint over failing coatings. We identify why it’s peeling (poor adhesion, moisture, sun exposure, or old paint layers), then plan scraping, sanding, and priming so the new system bonds correctly.

Do painters power wash before exterior painting?

Often, yes—cleaning removes dirt, mildew, and chalking so paint can adhere properly. We choose the right cleaning method based on the surface type and condition.

How often should you repaint the exterior of a house?

It varies by surface type, sun exposure, moisture, and the quality of the previous prep and paint system. Homes with heavy sun exposure or older coatings may need repainting sooner than shaded or well-protected exteriors.

What paint is best for exterior siding?

The best exterior paint depends on the siding material (wood, fiber cement, aluminum, etc.) and exposure conditions. We recommend a coating system—including primer if needed—based on durability, adhesion, and a consistent finish.

Can you paint exterior trim, doors, and shutters?

Yes. These details make a major difference in curb appeal. We plan prep and product selection for durability on high-touch surfaces like doors, trim, and shutters.

Is it better to spray or roll exterior paint?

It depends on the surface and finish goal. Some exteriors benefit from spray for speed and coverage, but many areas still require brush/roll for control, back-rolling, and detail work. We recommend the method that fits your home and produces the best finish.

Do you repair exterior wood trim before painting?

Yes, when needed. If trim is soft, separating, or failing, it should be repaired or replaced so the paint system can protect the surface instead of covering a problem that will return.

Do you offer free estimates and a warranty for exterior painting?

Yes. We offer free estimates and a final walkthrough, and we provide a 2-year touch-up warranty after completion, with clear expectations on what’s included.

Wallpaper Removal and Wallpaper Stripping in Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati & Southeast Indiana

We are not just a painting company — we are your personal painter.

Wallpaper removal can go from “simple” to frustrating fast—especially with older adhesives, multiple layers, or damaged drywall underneath. My Personal Painter provides wallpaper removal with careful protection, controlled wallpaper stripping, and paint-ready wall prep so your next finish looks smooth and consistent.

Wallpaper Removal, Wallpaper Stripping, and Wall Prep for Paint-Ready Results

Wallpaper removal should end with walls that look clean and even—not torn paper, gouges, or glue residue that shows through paint. We remove wallpaper and plan the wall prep so your repaint looks uniform in every light.

Rooms and surfaces we remove wallpaper from

Dining rooms and breakfast nooks
Kitchens and pantries (when applicable)
Bathrooms and powder rooms
Hallways, stairwells, and entryways
Bedrooms, nurseries, and guest rooms
Accent walls and border removal

Wall repair and surface prep after wallpaper removal

Drywall facing paper issues (as needed)
Adhesive residue areas that can cause paint failure
Old patchwork that will flash under paint
Minor dents, gouges, and seams that need smoothing

Prep-First Wallpaper Removal That Removes Glue Residue and Protects Drywall

A durable, smooth paint finish starts with the surface. Wallpaper glue and torn drywall paper can cause adhesion problems, flashing, and uneven sheen—especially under bright lighting.

Wallpaper removal steps: protection, glue removal, and wall repair

Protecting floors, trim, and nearby furniture
Testing the wall/adhesive type before full removal
Controlled scoring/softening where appropriate
Methods to remove wallpaper glue residue so primer bonds correctly
Patching and feathering damaged areas
Sanding for smoothness and surface consistency
Primer planning to prevent bleed-through and flashing

If you’re fixing a failed DIY removal or walls that look rough after wallpaper, we’ll address the cause first so the finish performs the way it should.

Primer, Sealer, and Paint Prep After Wallpaper Removal for Even Coverage

After wallpaper is removed, the right primer and prep steps matter as much as the paint. We recommend primer and finishing steps based on what’s on the wall so your paint finish looks consistent and holds up.

What we consider when planning primer and products

Adhesive residue risk and sealing needs
Torn drywall facing paper (needs proper sealing)
Patchwork areas that can flash under paint
Desired finish level (smooth wall vs light texture tolerance)
Low-odor and low-VOC options when requested

If you want help picking paint colors after wallpaper removal, we can guide you during planning.

Wallpaper Removal Cost, Labor Factors, and What Impacts Your Estimate

Wallpaper removal pricing depends on the wallpaper, the adhesive, and the condition underneath—not just square footage. During your estimate, we look at what it will take to remove paper cleanly and create a paint-ready surface.

Common wallpaper removal cost drivers

Number of rooms and total wall surface area
Number of wallpaper layers and age of materials
Adhesive type and glue residue severity
Wall condition underneath (torn paper, dents, patchwork)
Amount of skim/patch work required for smoothness
Primer needs (stain-blocking, bonding, sealing)
Access and protection needs for occupied spaces

Photos help for a quick ballpark, but a walkthrough gives the most accurate scope and expectations.
