Customers say: Quick response

"This is the second home Gregory has helped me with color consulting. This new home was built in 1880 and far away in Maine. Gregory helped me find colors and feelings that made sense in this new home. And WOW. The colors have transformed our home into something beautiful, inviting and perfectly perfect. Gregory is super easy to work with and helped not only with color, but technical aspects of paint and what to look for when hiring a painter. I cannot give this a better review. If you want a home that is uniquely yours, that speaks to your soul and honors the home, go for it!"

"Jonathan and his team also painted my bathroom, bedroom, and hallway; power washed the exterior of my house, deck, and garage before painting/staining, making all necessary repairs so that the painting/staining could be done. He works with a very competent carpenter/handyman. Jonathan checked in with me every step of the way. The crew was neat and orderly; the work performed as contracted; and the price was very affordable. I would wholeheartedly recommend him and Revival Painting. It was a pleasure to do business with someone so honest and committed to doing the best job."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

DIY is possible with proper tools and knowledge, but professionals can ensure even application and high-quality results, saving time and hassle.

There are several ways to make a wooden fence more visually appealing and keep it that way for years to come.

  • Treat the fence with a wood sealant to protect it against the elements. It’s recommended to reseal a fence every two to three years, but if you live in a harsh climate, you may want to do it more frequently than that.

  • Restore the fence if it’s old, corroding, or fading. That includes cleaning it and making small repairs where needed.

  • Paint the fence in a color that you like, whether that’s a simple white or more vibrant option. Fences usually need to be repainted every one to three years.

  • Decorate the fence with planters, string lights, birdhouses, mirrors, shutters, and more.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage.
