"Pros: Tim and his team did an excellent job painting the exterior of our house. Before starting the painting process, they made sure to power-wash the entire house, patch and repair portions of the house that needed work, and fix portions of the house that had water damage. Overall we are pleased with his work. Would highly recommend. Cons: - There are three large dead spots in our grass where the painters threw their paint water onto our lawn. - We have minor bubbling on our shutters. I expect things like this to happen, but the problem arose after only a month of the job being complete."

"Reynaldo was great to work with. He was very communicative and diligent. His crew was highly professional and kept their workspace clean and orderly. He didn't cut corners; everything was stripped and prepped appropriately with efficiency and the job was completed quickly and smoothly. We were also pleased with the results. It was a pleasure to have Reynaldo do the painting and refinishing and we would definitely work with him again because he really cared about giving us a good experience and good results."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.
