"I am blown away by the awesome exterior paint job that Envision Painting did on my house. The outcome is stunning and better than I imagined it would be. My house was in such a terrible state, cracks in the stucco and paint peeling everywhere. After the powerwash, they filled in all of the cracks and primed and painted the trim and the garage door. They took their time in making sure everything was just right, but while they were there they were always on task and paying close attention to detail. They were very courteous and patient with me in having to deal with letting 4 dogs in and out. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to everyone I know. Their entire paint crew was just fantastic. I wish I had the "before" picture, but have attached a picture of the after. So pleased!"

"When I went looking for someone to paint my home, I found it confusing and a bit daunting that there were so many painting companies in Tucson. I picked Arizona Painting Company because of the excellent customer service they brought to the process. They did a complete inspection of my home, pointing out issues that needed to be addressed, then gave me a comparable quote that I decided on over anyone else. The inspector/sales representative then gave me a tentative date to start the project. I was contacted by Arizona Painting Company 2 weeks earlier than the quote date to schedule the complete painting of my home which consisted of the whole exterior including the running board around the eves, the garage door, and the front door. They patched all the stucco and holes in the walls and accepted the color choices I gave them since I live in an HOA community. They assigned me an excellent individual to manage the project. Rene Gonzalez texted me every day to let me know when they would be arriving, did all the preparation on the home, and painted my home in less than three (3) days. I am ecstatic about the results. This Company is top-notch. From start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend them for your external and internal painting needs."

"We hired John to paint our 50+ year old house. When it was last painted, the contractor did not seal the wood or the concrete block and after 5 years, paint was chipping and wood was splitting. John's workers took care of all of that - pressure washing, scraping, and painting with two coats of excellent paint. John used paint with a slight (very) sheen so that the house actually sparkles a bit. He worked with us on the colors (a darker grey for the house and a pretty medium blue for the double front door). They even came back a few days later to catch a few places that needed touch-up after it all dried. Great attention to detail! The entire crew and John were a pleasure to work with!"

"D and V Painting are experts with many years of experience. Victor, David, and Dan did a spectacular job painting my home, paying attention to every detail. They made sure that the job was done right from beginning to end, and exceeded my expectations. I will hire them again to do some interior painting."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

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.

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
