"This was a very large commercial interior painting job - large kitchen, restrooms, clubhouse w/wood trim, ceilings, doors and a lot of trim work. Jim showed up on time to give me a bid on the job. He is very knowledgeable regarding painting and has great suggestions. He said this job would take him 4 - 6 weeks to complete. It took Jim a month - 22 days {8-10 hrs/day] to complete this job which was 2 weeks sooner than we had expected. He took time and care in prepping which paid off in the long run. The walls, which had a lot of holes in them from pictures, looked brand new when he was finished. He painted over paneling and it looks amazing. He doesn't tape anything off - he works totally free hand and does an excellent job. He had great suggestions and everything came out better than expected. There was absolutely no mess or clean up. He showed up every day promptly and kept me informed on what he would be working on and completion times. Jim was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend High Mountain Painting. I would definitely hire Jim again."

"Israel did a fantastic job on restructuring and replacing our steep flagstone north stairway. He tore out and rebuilt front patio and pathways. He and his crew were most professional and cleaned up total areas completely. Highly recommend his work!"

"Finding a reliable and skilled handyman can be a real challenge, especially in a place like Breckenridge where many people have second homes. Tyler's ability to handle various tasks and communicate effectively makes him a valuable asset for homeowners. Tyler has been the absolutely incredible. We purchased a home in Breckenridge, and the work that needed done varied from dishwasher and fridge repair, electrical outlet changes to patching and painting - as well as clearing out old furniture. He is professional, quick to respond and an excellent communicator. We continue to use Tyler for all of our projects for his dependability as well as excellent quality of work."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

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.

You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels.
