"Absolutely first rate. Not cheap, but if you want the best in home remodeling, Andy Scott and his father, Roger, is who you go to. Professional, punctual, always on top of things, a delight to  be around. This was a five week project. Andy and Roger did a lot of the work themselves, but they also used high quality subs: flooring, tile, plumbing, cabinet doors, electrical, painting the kitchen cabinets and credenza (CR Painting-not often you can find a painter who does first class work on cabinets). I would have never been able to find and coordinate the level of skilled professionals that Andy did. The project went smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely hire Scott's Home Renewal again -- and I will.

"Joseph did a great job - very particular about making sure everything was done correctly for us and he was often more particular for himself. He was conscientious about not making any mess and everything was extremely clean during and after the time he was here. He always texted prior to his arrival time. Very pleasant and interested in what we were doing. He even acknowledged our wedding anniversary which was during the time he was here! He did 2 garages, a master closet, and a master bath for us. We are very pleased!!!"

"I had a very high stairwell that I needed painted. I also had a section of popcorn ceiling that needed to be repaired. Both of these projects were completed perfectly and didn't cost as much as I thought it would. Would definitely recommend this company!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Regular staining, sealing, and inspecting for rot or insect damage prolongs fence lifespan.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

If you paint a vinyl fence, it will likely stick to it for only a brief amount of time. This is because vinyl is not a porous material, so it's not an ideal surface for holding paint. Initially, paint will stick to your fence, but it will eventually peel off. Applying primer before painting your vinyl fence will help paint last longer. Certain primers are well-suited to vinyl, which means you can paint vinyl siding with the proper preparation.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.
