"Tracy and his painting crew professionally completed the exterior paint job with amazing results. I would recommend their services anytime. My house color scheme was exactly what I wanted and Tracy was responsive the entire timeframe of the project. His crew also touched up extra odds and ends. Their work standards have been the BEST contractor work that I have encountered out of all my Rental Home projects. Thanks, Tracy"

"Dan and his team always deliver. D.K Painting has worked on two of my houses, and exceeded expectations with timing and quality of work each time. Each job consisted of painting over dark colors to white, and we were very satisfied the with the results. D.K Painting was a great referral from my realtor many years ago, and I’m glad we hired them!"

"Marco, Jennifer, and Pete did excellent work on my cabinets and wood-stained baseboards. Marco also did a creative spot-fix to some paint that a previous owner had slopped onto brickwork - a mistake I though was probably unfixable."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

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.

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

Regular cleaning, rust-proof coatings, and checking fasteners help prolong the lifespan.
