"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."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

Paint your fence, install customized fence slats, or attach a bamboo screen for a more appealing yard aesthetic. Paint can give your yard a unique and fun look, and adding fence slats gives you a classic fence appearance. Bamboo screens are probably the most unique option that can add a fun vibe to your space.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Painting or staining protects fences from environmental damage, enhances durability, and improves curb appeal with a fresh, customized look.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage.
