"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"I didn’t see a drop-down for interior work . He came out and painted my kitchen cabinets after I messed them up trying to do it myself. His work was amazing! He was so professional and wanted to make sure that I was satisfied before he cleaned up. I highly recommend P&M Painting, and I will use them again!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

The best time to stain a fence is when the weather is dry and temperatures are between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Late spring, early summer, and fall are typically the best seasons for this project. You should avoid staining during very hot weather, like in the middle of summer, or when it is raining. Heat and moisture can cause the stain to dry unevenly. Likewise, if it's too cold, such as in winter or early spring, the stain may not be able to dry fully. Before you start, check the forecast to ensure there will be no rain and low humidity for at least a few days.
