Our name comes from the tradition of doing things in the style of the “old world” – where craftsmen put quality first and took the time to do their jobs right. Our antiquated philosophies are the backbone of our operation: - Respect you and your home by leaving it clean at the end of each day/project - Perform quality workmanship with integrity - Provide unmatched communication, so you know what to expect throughout the process We follow processes for all projects as required by project and product specification. Our “by the book approach” is the foundation of our brand. When you choose Old World Painting, you’re investing in quality work that lasts the life of the paint – or when you’re ready for a new look.
"I had three rooms, a stair well and hallway painted. My house is 98 years old. The woodwork was worn, under several bad paint jobs and an accumulation of drips, ridges, and poorly bonded layers. The plaster of the walls was uneven, due to age and settling, poor plastering over drywall repairs and a few places where the plaster detached from the lathe. It needed more than a “light sand and paint,” which was all most of the 8 or so painters I interviewed were willing to do. This house needed an intervention. After two interviews, Apostoli understood the conditions of the house, what I wanted done, and was willing to do all the prep work that would be necessary. But his team didn’t just run with it. They paused and had me review their work a few times in the first days to clarify what I wanted. After that, they would ask for my review of each room as it was finished. I’m a perfectionist about painting and had painted some of the house myself so I knew how much work was involved and, in some cases, how I wanted it done. Apostoli and his crew were very patient and listened to my sometimes detailed instructions and concerns. They did a lot of scraping, sanding, priming, filling — a lot of filling — caulking and finally sanding down the woodwork to flat and smooth surfaces. They did a lot of patching and skim coating of the plaster walls and ceilings. They discovered the plaster of three ceilings had detached from the lathe and replaced them. The crew, Craig, DJ, and Kareem, were great to work with. They were congenial and took pride in their work. They were respectful of our property and privacy. I felt comfortable having them in my home. They showed up every day until the project was finished. They worked steadily from 8 when they arrived, took a lunch, and continued working until they left, often at 5:30 or 6. They sealed the doorway of each room with plastic to contain most of the dust. They cleaned up at the end of every work day, gathered their equipment in one place, and swept and vacuumed the work area. They were open to requests, took corrections well and asked questions if they were in doubt. They reserved the last day for touch ups that they had flagged as they worked. I removed all hardware to protect it and facilitate the sanding and painting. At their request I created a detailed list of all paints and where they were to be applied which they followed flawlessly. You might want to drape furniture in the rest of the house for dust and have them cover the path from the entrance of the house to the work area with paper taped to the floor. If you have any chemical sensitivity, you should talk with them up front as some of the fillers and primers they use have a strong smell. The results exceeded my expectations. The plaster of the walls and ceilings is now smooth and looks like new. The woodwork has flat surfaces, smooth curves and sharper detail. What had appeared as an old, worn and neglected interior now looks bright and well-maintained."

Professional painters can complete an exterior door painting project in one to three hours, not including drying time. The timeline depends on the door's condition, required preparation, and the number of coats needed.
Weather conditions significantly impact drying times, with high humidity or extreme temperatures extending the process. Most doors require 24 to 48 hours of curing time before resuming normal use.
While removing the door provides optimal access to all surfaces and edges, many professional painters achieve excellent results with the door remaining in place. For in-position painting, proper hardware protection and masking are essential. Door removal becomes more beneficial when dealing with significant damage, when painting both sides simultaneously, or when making dramatic color changes that require extra coats.
The ideal paint for exterior doors is a high-quality, weather-resistant formulation designed specifically for outdoor conditions. Acrylic latex paints offer excellent moisture resistance and color retention, while oil-based options provide superior hardness for high-traffic areas. Semi-gloss or gloss finishes repel dirt and moisture more effectively than flat finishes. Door material also influences paint selection—metal doors benefit from rust-inhibiting formulas, while wood doors may require specialized primers.
Hiring a professional delivers superior results for exterior door painting, especially for front entrances where appearance matters most. Professionals bring specialized equipment, extensive experience, and efficient techniques that ensure a smooth, durable finish.
While DIY painting saves on labor costs, you'll need proper tools, adequate preparation knowledge, and sufficient time to achieve comparable results. For complex door styles or when changing colors dramatically, professional expertise often justifies the additional expense.
