"I found Brian on thumbtack after striking out calling businesses from internet searches. None of them returned my queries. He responded quickly and provided a quote within a couple days. He was easy to work with and did a good job on our painting project. He also noticed a pantry door our dogs chewed a hole in and offered to replace that as well. He does quality work at a reasonable price. I'm having him come back in the spring to stain our deck. No better recommendation than repeat business."

"Not only did we find a great contractor but made new friends. I was very happy to find someone to get some repairs and painting done before winter. Very satisfied with the job. We will hire again for more repair and painting. Laura and Orlando were a delight to work with."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Select based on wood type, climate tolerance, and personal preference for color and finish, with choices like oil-based stains for longevity.

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.
