"Daniel contacted me within 10 minutes of me posting the job. He came the next day, did a fair assessment and did the job on the spot. Took about 1 1/2 hours to get the job done himself and did a great job. He is skilled at painting. We are going to call him back for more cedar siding repair and to paint our home. Highly recommend Daniel. Thank you for the fabulous job!!"

"Dante did the job exactly as discussed for a great price. He showed up on time and had one helper. They completed the job the same day which included painting shutters, metal garage doors and metal exterior doors. We supplied the primer and paint. After finishing the job they cleaned up everything before they left. Dante’s communication was very good and he and his helper were both very polite."

"Very professional services. Showed up on time, sometimes early. Painted a shed, cleaned and stained cedar privacy fence, brought his own materials. Also painted eaves and metal awnings. Installed a new ceiling fan. Did all of this in less than a week. I am very pleased and would hire them again."

"Mr. Giles did an incredible job on our home. He built us a brand new deck that’s one of the sturdiest, most impressive additions we’ve made in years — true craftsmanship and pride in his work. He also put together a closet system for my wife and painted the walls and closet with an excellent design aesthetic. She’s thrilled with it. He showed up on time, communicated well, and worked efficiently. What sets Andre apart: he’s not a contractor trying to keep everything in-house. When a job needs extra hands, he brings in the right people to do it right. That honesty is hard to find. He’s worth every penny. We’re already planning to have him stain the deck and redo our basement next. I’m recommending him to family, including older relatives who need trustworthy work done."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Shadowbox fence maintenance depends on the material. But for wood shadowbox fences, maintenance typically includes annual cleaning to prevent mold growth, resealing or staining every two to three years, and promptly replacing any damaged or rotted boards. Vinyl fencing, on the other hand, typically only requires annual cleaning with a hose to maintain its appearance.

Both a roller and a brush are effective methods for painting a chain link fence. A roller will make the job easier by ensuring symmetrical strokes and reaching the backside of the fence as well, which cuts down on paint time. However, a brush is often necessary for painting the base of the fence and near the posts due to its ease of reaching smaller spaces.
