"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

"We first met Gregory when he was painting a family members house. We were immediately impressed with the care and expertise he brought to the job. When it came time to paint the outside of our 2000 SF home, we didnâ t hesitate to contact Gregory. We had an idea of our colors we wanted and from the beginning Gregory worked his magic to challenge us to insure we were completely happy with our choice. This was the beginning of a collaborative experience. Day 1 â Gregory and his team arrived promptly and updated us of the dayâ s schedule (scraping, sanding, prep, etc.). Day 2 â Power washing, masking and additional prep work. Days 3 to 7 - Painting, painting, painting, including staining of our new fence. Gregoryâ s team always took care to make sure we were included in every step of the way and went over and above with the â extrasâ . We already plan to use Gregory for another job next month. You will not be disappointed hiring Gregory and Transformational Color."

"Jonathan and his team also painted my bathroom, bedroom, and hallway; power washed the exterior of my house, deck, and garage before painting/staining, making all necessary repairs so that the painting/staining could be done. He works with a very competent carpenter/handyman. Jonathan checked in with me every step of the way. The crew was neat and orderly; the work performed as contracted; and the price was very affordable. I would wholeheartedly recommend him and Revival Painting. It was a pleasure to do business with someone so honest and committed to doing the best job."

Small jobs welcome

"The entire team was very professional and polite from the moment they entered our home and until they left. The appointment was easy to make, clear directions on what to do before techs arrived, on arrival they explained exactly what they was going to do, toured the house with us to insure nothing was missed, they were careful with furniture and personal property as well. They cleaned up after themselves, showed before and after photos, treated our home with care and consideration, as if it was their own. We can?t say enough good things about this company and our techs. They made us feel like a valued customer and our money is very important. We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for paint projects, big or small. Thank you so much!!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.

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.

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.
