"Cliff came in on a Saturday and removed 3 walls of wallpaper. He did a great job with that and we hired him to paint the upper level interior of the house. Again a great job at a fair price. Cliff is a true painting professional and it shows in his work. I'll definitely call Cliff for future painting projects."

"The process started with Dakota Hove uncovering my needs, budget and desired outcome. Very confident in his company and support team he worked within my budget and followed up with me before during and after the process, I then worked with Lexi their color specialist who helped me pick the most beautiful colors that brought my vision to reality perfectly. I was turned over to Kurt O’Donnell my project manager, who delivered on the promises made? He worked with me to find the perfect stain for my beautiful wood beams and gable roof, insured that the exterior paint as well as the interior paint was nothing less than perfection. Jose and his team were so polite, skilled and left my home spotless. Everyone involved exceeded my expectations. Worth every penny. Thanks so much,"
After; What a transformation! Body color is Comfort Gray SW 6205. Trim is Alabaster SW 7008, and Accent is Rookwood Red SW 2802

"We were referred to Painting Plus from a friend who had a great experience. They just finished painting the interior of our new home, and did a fantastic job. There were on time for the quote, followed up quickly, started up the day after we provided the paint colors, and kept coming back until the job was finished. During the work, they were very careful about covering floors and furniture, and the finished product looked great. We would highly recommend."

"This company was amazing to work with !! We live in Texas and needed our house in Colorado painted to be sold. Painter 1 of Westminster took care of all our needs, was easy to work with from Texas and had the job completed early. We would use them again and would refer to any of our friend s and family…. Thank you for doing such an amazing job!!!"

"They did a great job painting the exterior of our home and staining our decks. We were very happy with the final result and paid a very fair price. My only complaint would be a lack of communication and with rescheduling when the painters did not show due to weather. That said, they still completed the project quickly and did an excellent job."

"Kylan was contracted to stain an old fence. The previous stain was discontinued, so he had to find something else that would match. And it matched perfectly! He was always on time. He left the worksite spotless. And he really does impeccable work. Plus his pricing is very competitive and certainly worth every penny. Now Iâ m tempted to find other projects that require painting!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.

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.

Maintaining a composite fence is pretty straightforward, as it doesn’t require staining or repainting. To keep it clean, scrub the fencing with a composite deck cleaner or hot, soapy water. Use a soft-bristle brush for the best results, and avoid using pressure washers or sanders. Plan to clean your fence at least twice a year. Scrubbing the fencing in the fall and spring can help prevent mold and mildew growth.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

To prevent a fence from becoming dirty, hose it down weekly and after every time you mow the lawn. This will prevent algae from being able to feed on grass clippings. You should also wash your fence once per season and trim plants so they don’t touch it. As a precautionary measure, you can treat your fence with a coating of a mold prevention product.
