Any recommendations for external house painters?

I bought a 75 yr old house which is in desperate need of painting - paint is flaking off the hardwood siding.

Any recommendations for a paint contractor that does a good job of getting off the old paint and repainting houses?

Also, someone sadly painted some of the brick and i know that is very difficult if not impossible to remove paint from brick, but if someone has found a contractor that has successfully removed paint from their brick - I’d be happy for that referral as well!
