"Full Color Painting Company responded to our request for an estimate to paint the interior of our home. Guillermo Seijas responded immediately. "G," as we came to call him, was up front about what needed to be done and the cost for the work. He set up a painting team who really knew their business. They had a lot to do to correct the previous paint job, and they did it without complaint! They were timely, polite, professional, and they completed a difficult job in the allotted time assigned. The team was timely, efficient and highly respectful. They caught everything that needed correcting, even things we did not see, rather than overlooking them. They could have bypassed thin and we would not have been all the wiser. His head man, Joseph, said, "We don't work like that. We do the job right so you won't have to do it later." "G" checked in with his team everyday to ensure they were on track and had everything the needed. We cannot enough about this team. They were awesome!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

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.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

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.

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.
