"Julio and Richard were very professional and checked-in with me regularly during the job to make sure I didn't have any concerns, and keep me informed as the job progressed. In addition to painting the house, they were able to restore the dry wall of my patio ceiling, and put in new stained wood slats for my RV gate."

"We chose Dependable Painting following our initial meeting with John the owner. His thorough examination of our exterior, his knowledge of paint and an honest understanding of business sealed our decision to have our home painted by his company. We couldn’t have been more satisfied following the job his team provided. Following the job, cleanup was excellent and John’s follow up with us sealed our true satisfaction with our decision to do business with Dependable Painting."

"This is the second time that I hired D&V Painting, because they did a fantastic job last month painting my home's exterior. Victor and David did an excellent job painting 4 interior rooms, which included ceiling and wall texture. They are experienced masters that can apply any type of texture. They use quality paint. They are meticulous when it comes to masking areas to avoid, and all lines and edges are perfectly straight. They make sure everything is perfect; for example, they applied an extra coat of paint to several areas that they felt would look better. In addition, they volunteered to paint a door, closet interiors, and a couple of frames that weren't part of the job, just to make everything perfect."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

You shouldn't paint a metal fence. Painting doesn't necessarily damage a corrugated metal fence, but these types of fences are meant to flex, and paint can easily chip and break off. Latex paints can address this issue, but those tend not to be very weather-resistant. Certain paints can trap moisture in the corrugation, which can rust the metal and lead to corrosion. And finally, if you paint a copper fence, it won't patina, which is one of the main reasons people buy copper.  

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.
