"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ M&R Paint & Reno did an amazing job. From the first conversation through completion of the project, they were punctual, respectful, and easy to work with. The crew took the time to do the job right instead of rushing, and the finished work came out beautiful. I especially appreciated how responsive they were whenever I had a question. It’s hard to find contractors you can count on, and I would definitely use M&R Paint & Reno again. Highly recommended for anyone in the Florida Keys."

"My second time using AMVA Construction LLC for my two home bathroom & kitchen remodeling, they’re great, fast & professional. Alex walked me thru the process with confidence, got my blue prints done, all my permits and we passed with flying colors. I would recommend them greatly. I’m super happy I didn’t take a chance with the competitors."

"I am very pleased with the work completed. Josue repaired a hole in my ceiling and painted From our first encounter, I found him to be very punctual and responsive to my questions and emails. From the moment he arrived, he demonstrated professionalism. My house looked as if no one had done any work. I barely had to clean! I would definitely hire Josue again."

Painting questions, answered by experts

There are several ways to make a wooden fence more visually appealing and keep it that way for years to come.

  • Treat the fence with a wood sealant to protect it against the elements. It’s recommended to reseal a fence every two to three years, but if you live in a harsh climate, you may want to do it more frequently than that.

  • Restore the fence if it’s old, corroding, or fading. That includes cleaning it and making small repairs where needed.

  • Paint the fence in a color that you like, whether that’s a simple white or more vibrant option. Fences usually need to be repainted every one to three years.

  • Decorate the fence with planters, string lights, birdhouses, mirrors, shutters, and more.

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.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

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

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.
