"Kind Home Painting is the best! They have Customer Service down to an art form. The quality of their workmanship is beyond reproach and their staff is professional with exemplary expertise. They provided wonderful front-line support on initial contact, to color specialists, project managers, and finally the workers who did the painting - every step of the process was streamlined with an emphasis on providing the best customer service. I first used Kind Home Painting for staining my fence and was so impressed I followed up and had them paint my house. I highly recommend Kind Home Painting."

"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."

"I was preparing my home for sale on a very short deadline. I hired another contractor to perform some renovations and they were not able to meet our deadlines to get the home ready prior to the listing date. I called Painting Plus of Boulder and they were able to send a full crew over to my home and take care of minor drywall repairs, interior wall painting and complete painting of unfinished solid wood doors throughout the home. I stopped by the home to check on progress and the full crew was still working after normal hours to assist us in meeting our listing deadline. The quality of the painting was exceptional and all deadlines were met. After I sold the home I received a call that there was a small problem with the paint on one door and with one call they were able to assist the new owner of the home and resolve the issue. They stand behind their work and do a great job, I recommend Painting Plus of Boulder to anyone needing a great trustworthy painting company."

"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 pleasant, friendly, professional and did a great job painting. He also threw in painting a door for free, to help make the room look better. He was also very careful about masking to prevent any paint spilling anywhere. I won't lie, while Kylan's prices are reasonable and fair, you could possibly get 25% cheaper if you really shopped around. But it wouldn't be a huge difference, and there'd be high risk of getting low quality work. Better to pay very slightly more and get the peace of mind of a real pro on the job. Kylan's work is very thorough and detail oriented. Would happily hire again."

"Scott Wald and his crew (Mark and R.J) painted both the exterior and the interior of our home. They were at our home for several days and were a pleasure to have around. They were very reliable and personable, and also reasonably priced. Scott was very flexible and patient with my continued additions to the work we initially requested. He was also very accommodating whenever I pointed out areas which needed another coat or where a spot had been missed, and was quick to remedy whatever I thought needed extra attention. We would definitely hire them again."

"We hired Tony to paint the interior of our newly purchased house before we moved in. The job included the living / dining area, kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and three bedrooms including closets. We were staying over an hour away, so most days Tony let himself in and worked independently. Tony was fantastic to work with. Great at communication, trustworthy, Covid-safe, and upfront about costs including a detailed estimate that he stuck to. And the house looks beautiful!!! We were thrilled with the flawless results, and it was worth every penny to be able to move right into the freshly painted house and get settled. I look forward to having Tony back to paint the exterior of our house, and I would recommend him to anyone in need of painting services."

Painting questions, answered by experts

A cedar fence will actually last quite a long time even if you don’t treat it with stain. In fact, you can expect to get between 15 and 30 years out of an untreated cedar fence. However, if you want to preserve its color and extend its life, treat it with a combination stain and sealer every three to five years.

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.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. 

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.
