Old Paint Removal FAQs

Always fix the water source first. Once the area is fully dry, repair and repaint. Painting over active moisture guarantees failure.
Stains get sealed with stain-blocking primer after the area is dry — regular paint alone will let brown stains bleed right back through.
For walls with heavy texture, damage, or poor previous work, skim coating creates a fresh smooth canvas. Your pro can advise whether your walls need it.
Popcorn texture can be scraped and refinished to a modern smooth or light texture. Pre-1980s popcorn should be tested for asbestos first — ask your pro about the process.
Joint compound and texture need 24+ hours to dry before priming and painting. Rushing this step causes flashing and failure.
