"Tommy came out and was straight forward with us on the work we needed done. But the best part was he followed through on everything he sold me on. Great guy, great experience, and great work. The trifecta when you want something painted in your house. Thanks Tommy!"
"Mark did an outstanding job painting my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. His attention to detail, craftsmanship, and professionalism were evident from the moment he started. He took the time to properly prepare everything, kept the work area clean, and made sure every detail was done right. The finished product exceeded my expectations. The paint lines are crisp, the coverage is flawless, and the room looks completely transformed. Mark was reliable, communicated throughout the project, showed up when he said he would, and treated my home with respect. If you’re looking for a painter who takes pride in his work, delivers high-quality results, and truly cares about customer satisfaction, I highly recommend Mark. I would absolutely hire him again for future projects and will be recommending him to anyone looking for a great painter. Five stars all the way!"

"The process went smoothly from start to finish. 247 Painting did an excellent job painting my house. Since I bought the house it had never been painted so I really needed a freshen up and they went above and beyond. Every line is so crisp and I’m so much more happier with my house now."
"Jesse with Pro 1 Painting inc is a great company. They have very good craftsmen, know which paints to use where (saving me from a serious mistake), theyâ re straightforward about cost, and fix problems quickly. Theyâ re also really nice people."
"Initially we had trouble making an appointment, not entirely the painting contractor's fault. His flexibility and willingness to reschedule our initial appointment was appreciated. He and his workers did a great job. They matched the paint, and did the caulking on a paint job just three years old without any noticeable difference between the new and the old. After he finished this work we hired him to return to re-caulk over half the house where where the caulking had shrunk with time. We now have a snug house. The next time we need a painting contractor we will call him. "
"All the the painting, inside and out, was great! The team was polite and cleaned up at the end of each day. I could not have asked for a better job! I love my “new home”. Thank you Rods Painting"
"Excellent Service from planning through Execution and installation to final fine tuning. The folks communicated well and explained every detail of the step. Got permit and inspection done. It was seamless. Thanks. R."
"I highly recommend Jesse and his team. I would give them more stars if permitted. He is honest, reliable and on time. My garage floors sparkle and I am so happy with the finished product. In April he will be painting my outside concrete. Absolutely stunning work!"
Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.
If possible, it is beneficial to paint both sides of your fence to protect the fence more completely from the elements. Painting both sides of your fence will create a more consistent appearance as well. However, the time and cost involved in painting both sides of the fence may cause people to paint only the side they see.
Overall costs depend on the fence height and length, prep work required, and labor if hiring professionals, ranging between $1 and $4 per square foot.
Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.
Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.
