"I had The Atlanta Painting Company paint our kitchen cabinets. We could not be more pleased. Their professionalism was top notch and the quality of their work was phenomenal. My wife said it feels like an entirely different room. I would highly recommend Atlanta Painting to anyone that has a painting need!"

"I had my porch re-screened done last autumn and the new slats needed painting to match trim. Much to detailed a job for me! Giovani came for the estimate on promptly on time. He was polite, courteous and communicated effectively about the job. An estimate was send via email in the next 24-48 hours, and it was easily scheduled. I had a request to add a little something to the painting plan after a day or so. I sent a photo with my request which was able to be added. The team showed up on time on the scheduled work day, worked steadily. They meticulously taped all the screen, primed and painted- took a lunch break- and came right back to finish on time. Everything was beautifully painted and there was no mess afterwards for me to deal with. I am so happy with the results. I expect to hire them in future for inside painting."

"Patrick with Painter1 and his crew did an amazing job on my house. Very professional, uses only the best paint and took their time to make sure that everything was at 100% before leaving. They cleaned everything up and even put drop cloths down below them. Would hire again for sure!"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.

You should repaint your fence every 1 to 3 years, depending on the appearance of wear and tear. Weather and usage will factor into how often you should paint another coat on your fence. If you need to replace a few fence boards or posts, you may want to consider repainting the fence to help protect the rest of the fence as well as the new pieces against damage and deterioration from being exposed to the elements.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
