"Barry and his crew were very meticulous with caulking and tape lines which adds a clean detailed environment. SC was there on time and reasonably priced, knowledgeable and aided in paint and color selections. Completely hands off!!! Would definitely hire again, perhaps to paint the outside next."

"Carlos was recommended by my realtor to paint the exterior of my home and deck and to assist in some inside sheet rock repair; including painting. I was extremely impressed with both Carlos and his team. His communication was nothing short of exceptional, the price was fair, and they did an outstanding job cleaning up after each visit and protecting all surfaces to avoid damage. I also am grateful for the job ending on time; thus, allowing me to place my home up for sale sooner than expected. My new exterior paint job looks fabulous! I encourage anyone in Butte County to use Carlos and his team."

"I'm putting my home on the market and needed it to be painted quickly. It has rained continually here in northern California so finding a few days of dry weather was tricky. Sure enough as soon as the sun came out for 3 days, the painters where working. They painted my whole house and detached garage in about 2.5 days. They cleaned up all the painting trash nicely and were very personable. And, the price was great! I would like to highly recommend L & S Painting!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.
