"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."

"I live in Florida part-time and was out of town when he painted my house in Carmel, CA. He understood I wanted to see what was happening so he took pictures on his phone. Thank you. "
"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"

"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!"
Preparation includes cleaning the fence, sanding any rough areas, applying a primer if necessary, and ensuring dry weather for application.
A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
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.
While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again.
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.
