"Groovey Hues did a great job. They painted my living room and kitchen at a fair price, plus most importantly, I didn’t have to do it myself. There was also a little paint leftover and they painted my dog house as a throw in."

"Kind, respectful, easy to work with, HONEST, hard-workers, wonderful teamwork members of 3 men. CAME IN UNDER QUOTE saving me hundreds of $$ :) Very grateful. I wasn't prepared for them painting my basement walls and had NOT packed in boxes items up against all 4 walls. they packed my boxes without complaining. another reached HIGH UP book shelf items handing them to me for boxing & caring to my garage. they went beyond the call of duty, which as a senior white-haired lady; i appreciated 100%. scraped/sanded the paint off in those areas; painted the bad spots with special stuff before painting with color i chose them to paint. i'm satisfied 100% with their detailed work. if you are ALLERGIC TO PAINT SMELLS, best be gone when they paint with the LOW VOLUME PAINT as it still stinks really bad for us allergic to SMELLS. glad they/i had many fans going to get rid of the fumes!! cleaned up after themselves; covered the basement floors good. they were as quiet as "church mice" when they knew i went back to bed to sleep....much appreciated!! BETTY GORDON, AMES"

"Had a wonderful experience with Simply Painting Company! They provided some great recommendations on paint color options, provided timely communication regarding status of the project, and provided competitive pricing. On painting day they arrived promptly to start the project and did a great job. They even completed the project a day ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Simply Painting Company"

"Andy was quick to respond to my first call and was able to come and give us a rough estimate that same day. He followed with detailed estimate a few days later. He was very patient with us and answered all our questions and guided us to what was needed for our new tile for backsplash. The professionals that work with him for plumbing, cabinet painting, and installing counter tops were all very pleasant and were there when they said they would be or called if there would be a delay. 


Although going thru a remodel is always a bit of an inconvenience, the finished product was well worth it! We love our new kitchen and very much appreciate Andy and his dad for their help"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

For the best results, you should apply two coats of paint to your wrought iron fence. Let your first coat dry for about an hour then promptly apply your second coat.

Routine staining or sealing and periodic inspections to extend life.

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

Preparation includes cleaning the fence, sanding any rough areas, applying a primer if necessary, and ensuring dry weather for application.
