"It went GREAT! Scott was absolutely wonderful. His work is impeccable! He covered everything before he started - floors, furniture, etc. I was amazed. I would have had more paint on me than on the walls. It looks great. I wish I had known about him when I had my home painted years ago. Love his work! I will definitely hire him again."

"New Life Painting just completed painting our family vacation home in Santa Cruz. We live out of town and were extremely thankful we found and hired this company. Tim is the owner and communication with him was great! His response to my emails and phone calls were prompt. He answered all my questions and concerns about the job. The actual painting of the house was excellent! High quality paint products were used and the attention to detail was outstanding. His friendly team of employees do an awesome job! They are all professional, responsible and courteous! Thank you to Mike, Tony, Wes, Matt, Morgan and Oday! What a pleasure to have you around! We highly recommend New Life Painting for your painting projects!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Yes, you can paint a chain-link fence, but you don’t want to use spray paint. With the spray method, you’ll be losing a majority of your product to the air, given the size of the gaps in chain-link fences. Instead, use a paintbrush for your fence posts and a paint roller for the wire.

Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.
