"Don't hesitate to hire them. Highly professional. Hire them to repaint the whole house and baseboards. Top Notch - attention to the details (i.e. painting behind outlets). They filled holes in the wall professionally. Nice people, very clean work. Decent price. Highly recommended and I am very picky so take my word."

"I contacted this company because they were doing my next door neighbor?s exterior painting. And i?m more than happy about that decision. They did the interior of my home which i was really worried about it since we had new floors, but i was so impressed that the covered the whole house even the areas that weren?t going to be painted. It was a great experience , clean and professional job , thank you guys!"

"Jerome did an amazing job! He is professional, easy to communicate with and very detailed. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in his work. His pricing is extremely reasonable with is quality of work he does. When I had a few delays, he was understanding of it and worked around my crazy schedule. While painting he made sure everything was covered so the paint didn’t stain anything. He’s very knowledgeable and walked around the property with me and explained everything. He did repairs that were needed prior to painting that any other person probably would of just painted over. I’m very happy with his service and I will be calling him back for my interior painting."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

You can weather a new wood fence by applying vinegar with steel wool as a way to fade some of the coloring. You may also find it easier to stain your entire fence a new color instead of trying to get newer fence boards to match an older one.

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.
