"My husband and I hired Vista SC Painting recently to complete some projects before we have the exterior of our home painted. The work that Vista Paint completed on our house was the following: 5 exterior doors + large front entrance door were refinished (sanded, stained, and sealed—front and back), they did a re-stucco and re-seal of the parapet walls, and they re-coated and sealed the roof. Bryan was very communicative via emails, texts, and phone calls; we value clear communication in general, but it is especially important during home projects where scheduling, logistics, and our specific requests and needs are concerned. Bryan also gave us a more favorable quote out of 3 quotes we got from other contractors, so we were pleased with his fair pricing. We plan to contact Vista SC Painting again fairly soon to schedule an exterior paint for our home and the wall that surrounds our property based on the positive experience we had with them."

"I needed the exterior of my house painted and needed it done soon. I contacted and received quotes from two other well-known painting companies and really was not happy with their estimate quotes. I saw Wildcat Painting Company, LLC as an area company and contacted them for an estimate. They not only came in with a lower bid but even after a couple of â no pressureâ recommendations from the job foreman they were still the best price. Alex was exceptionally good about working with me on this project and very respectful of me and my requests. The foreman and crew that painted my house were all very respectful of me, my time, and my property. No trash or messes were left behind, and I even had a hard time seeing where they had cleaned up. THE PLACE LOOKS GREAT!! And finished in, what I consider, record time. I am so glad I went with Wildcat Painting Company and will use them again should it be needed. I would and will recommend Wildcat Painting Company to others for their painting projects. Thanks Alex and crew!!"

"An amazing quality experience from the first contact through the last brush stroke. The quality of the work provided by David's team is second to none. Some areas of the house required stucco repair, some cracks, shadows of old attachments, etc. The repair work is flawless. I highly recommend Pro Finish Custom Painting for any paint projects on your "to-do" list. Awesome work. great people!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

There are several ways to make a wooden fence more visually appealing and keep it that way for years to come.

  • Treat the fence with a wood sealant to protect it against the elements. It’s recommended to reseal a fence every two to three years, but if you live in a harsh climate, you may want to do it more frequently than that.

  • Restore the fence if it’s old, corroding, or fading. That includes cleaning it and making small repairs where needed.

  • Paint the fence in a color that you like, whether that’s a simple white or more vibrant option. Fences usually need to be repainted every one to three years.

  • Decorate the fence with planters, string lights, birdhouses, mirrors, shutters, and more.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.
