"Used them for painting kitchen cabinets. Did a meticulous job prepping and sealing off the work area. Final job was excellent. Cleaned everything up each day and did a beautiful job overall. Also had them paint some outside work and it was well done and reasonably priced. Nice guys too! From now on I wouldn t use anyone else."

"This week I requested estimates from four local companies for stucco repair and exterior painting of my home. David Docherty Contracting was able to begin the work immediately including power washing and preparing the surface, and purchasing the proper paint to be used. The painting was completed in one day. I was very happy with Dave and his son's professionalism, courtesy, and excellent work. I was also impressed by the quality painting of my front door which will match new shutters. Highly recommend this company. Cost was very reasonable."

"A Step above Painting and Drywall are "exceptional". I need new flooring all on the 1st floor as well as needed the entire house (Interior) to be painted. Andres and his team did an outstanding job on my floors and painting. Tony (Mgr) is awesome - busy - but he does follow up, great person and team. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for your projects."

"Fabiano and his son did an excellent job. The house is over 100 years old and one is always braced for collateral damage when doing work like removing an old staircase and installing a new one. The removal went smoothly with no problems and the new staircase is beautiful. The work is quality and everything was clean when done. We are extremely happy with the new stairs. Will definitely have them back again for more projects."

"Ed and his son Charles were great. They sealed our asphalt driveway which looks great. While there they also resurfaced our deck, repaired damage, and stained it. Both of these projects were great. After these two projects, they were also willing to repair some tyvek and siding in the front of our house and paint our shutters. Pricing was fair, Ed and Charles were highly professional, and all of the work looks great. We would recommend them and will use them in the future for work on our house."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Shadowbox fence maintenance depends on the material. But for wood shadowbox fences, maintenance typically includes annual cleaning to prevent mold growth, resealing or staining every two to three years, and promptly replacing any damaged or rotted boards. Vinyl fencing, on the other hand, typically only requires annual cleaning with a hose to maintain its appearance.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
