"Professional, reliable and highly skilled. Leonardo took care of everything, getting the paint, in every color I wanted, he covered all my floors and made sure they didn't get scratched or paint. He accomodated our busy schedule and every room was completed on time and with the highest quality. There were no delays. His attention to detail was remarkable and I couldn't be happier with the final result. I highly recommend Kolibri Painting"

His crew did a fantastic job and left no mess at the end of the job. I would highly highly recommend this company for any of your painting or pressure washing needs"

"Jim was friendly, quick to respond, and efficient. We are very grateful for the work his team completed and that they were able to complete it much sooner than we originally expected. The painters did an excellent job painting our walls and trims. Will definitely hire them again for future painting needs."

"We had a great experience with Mike & and his team. Everyone was very nice and kept us informed and updated with everything they were doing, and asked questions to ensure we were getting exactly what we wanted for our exterior paint job. We had a very short timeline when it came to having our house painted and they were able to have us scheduled the following week after they came by and gave us a free estimate. Iâ d definitely recommend them for your next paint project."

"We approached JP’s paints for painting the exterior of our home. Lindsay and Julian walked us through the process and answered all our questions and concerns. Once we received the approvals, their crew started the work immediately. They did a wonderful job with fixing the stucco, painting and cleanup. Everyone was very professional and took real care of the property. I would give them 5 stars on all the aspects of the project. We got so many positive comments from the neighbors already. Lindsay assured us that we would be pleasantly surprised and they would do a great job. They kept their promise and we are so happy how the house looks with the new paint. We would definitely recommend them to someone hiring for their painting projects. Wishing them all the very best in their future endeavors ."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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

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.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

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.
