"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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

A cedar fence will actually last quite a long time even if you don’t treat it with stain. In fact, you can expect to get between 15 and 30 years out of an untreated cedar fence. However, if you want to preserve its color and extend its life, treat it with a combination stain and sealer every three to five years.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
