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 FAQs, answered by experts

Preparation includes cleaning the fence, sanding any rough areas, applying a primer if necessary, and ensuring dry weather for application.

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

A cedar fence will actually last quite a long time even if you don’t treat it with stain. In fact, you can expect to get between 15 and 30 years out of an untreated cedar fence. However, if you want to preserve its color and extend its life, treat it with a combination stain and sealer every three to five years.

DIY is possible with proper tools and knowledge, but professionals can ensure even application and high-quality results, saving time and hassle.
