"Levi was great. Started immediately as soon as I got the keys. He was hired to paint a large wall that was dark to a lighter color, our ceiling that had a crappy patch job, and touch up a bunch of damaged spots throughout the house. Ceiling was done super well. Re-textured and painted and looks fantastic. The patch job didn’t go that well at first. It was difficult to paint match and the spots were much darker. However, Levi was GREAT about taking care of it. He came back at no additional cost beyond the original quote, and fixed all the dark patches and made it look brand new. Super happy with his communication, timeliness, and work ethic. Would be happy to have him back for future painting needs."

"Great response and basic bid.  I added a few more details to the contract.  I am not sure the walls were primed before painting, or if the paint had a primer in it...this is my first professional paint job.  I am admittedly a perfectionist, so, I may have been a tiny bit disappointed prematurely.  The painters came back for touch-ups as I requested and overall, the place looks great.

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

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.
