"Where to start? Out of the hand full that came out ... Sir Mike saw what was previously done, I think it upset him. I believe he approached the unprimed project as if his own with a purpose to do the best he could using his craft ... The first thing at hand, washing the project down. I have seen many painting jobs ... They paint right over dirt, dust, ash, pollen and ... He needed and wanted a clean slate .... I was very happy to hear this ... He wash down for about 1.50 hrs ... He used a few separate primer and paint ... nOt the magic in the can ... We asked for a specific paint to be used and he procured exactly the request ... We are in a area that can get dusty, windy, hot extremely ... He suggested low sheen, better cleaning than flat ... He works, up and down ... He is fast however he uses safety for him, first ... He were told the amount of time he beat it ... He left his drop cloths on site, but asked if okay? He has a great focus and personality ... Would I recommend him? I surely would, periOd! We are happy, he gave us better ... He fiXed what another left behind, an unprimmed peeling mess ... No care paint company, just sprinkled on paint ... Sir Mike's Printing did very well ... for us ... Other projects, he will be the painter, craftsman for us. He did a great job on purpOse ..."

"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

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.

Paint your fence, install customized fence slats, or attach a bamboo screen for a more appealing yard aesthetic. Paint can give your yard a unique and fun look, and adding fence slats gives you a classic fence appearance. Bamboo screens are probably the most unique option that can add a fun vibe to your space.

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
