"Jeremy McMahon is the consummate professional and his work is an exquisite representation of the personal touch. He takes pride in all that he does, and then goes the extra mile for customer satisfaction. We know this to be true. When we hired Jeremy, he came to our home and treated us with kindness and consideration. He is personable and honest. The estimate he provided for complete kitchen cabinet resurfacing was very reasonable. He made certain to let us take a full day, after completion of the project, to look over everything carefully. When we found that some of the doors of our 30-year-old cabinets needed an extra coat of paint, Jeremy was quick to comply and let us now customer satisfaction was of primary importance. Jeremy McMahon is a trustworthy, honest, and dedicated person--and his quality of work is an extension of his wonderful character. He made 30-year-old veneer look magical! Thank you Jeremy for your patience and consideration. We think the cabinets look fantastic. We would hire Jeremy for additional work around our home."

"I learned of Valley Custom Painters through Angi. My need to paint the exterior trim and patio was competitively bid with Valley Custom Painters being the low bid. Where Ernie arrived at my home to bid the project, I need at that time it was his firm I wanted to perform the work. He was straight forward and came across as a self sufficient contractor and convinced me he could do the work as outlined. They performed the painting in a timely manner, attention to detail, self sufficient, professional and produced a quality product. I was in the construction industry for forty years so when I rated a company AAAAA, I know what I am doing. In addition, many of our friends are most complementary of the quality of their paint job. In the future when I have painting needs, I will not be bidding the work, but calling Valley Custom Painters."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

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.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

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.
