"Lance and his crew showed professionalism and problem solving beyond my ability to do the same. He is courteous and knowledgeable about the many finishes, paints and stains in today's market. Besides the great quality of his work, he and his crew are reliable and on time. My home (2800 sq. ft.) is beautiful. He even suggested that the job should include the front porch and he was 100% right. Thank you Lance and Shaun."

Customers say: Quick response

"This is the second home Gregory has helped me with color consulting. This new home was built in 1880 and far away in Maine. Gregory helped me find colors and feelings that made sense in this new home. And WOW. The colors have transformed our home into something beautiful, inviting and perfectly perfect. Gregory is super easy to work with and helped not only with color, but technical aspects of paint and what to look for when hiring a painter. I cannot give this a better review. If you want a home that is uniquely yours, that speaks to your soul and honors the home, go for it!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

If possible, it is beneficial to paint both sides of your fence to protect the fence more completely from the elements. Painting both sides of your fence will create a more consistent appearance as well. However, the time and cost involved in painting both sides of the fence may cause people to paint only the side they see.

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.

Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.

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

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
