"Eric's team did a great job painting the interior of our home. His painter was on time and courteous throughout the painting process. Painting supplies were kept neat on a daily basis so as not to disturb our home. Eric was easy to get in touch with, listened to any of our concerns, and gave great feedback on our paint choices. We would definitely hire Eric again and would not hesitate to recommend his services."

"Awesome experience; Jose was very responsive and showed us a lot of paint samples until we got exactly what we wanted. Showed up on time and finished early. His crew was hard working and very careful of not damaging anything. Cleaned up everything too. Will definitely use them again."

"I’ve worked with a lot of contractors, several different types of work, and none of them. Absolutely none of them took as much pride in their work and doing an excellent job. Not good. EXCELLENT. As the crew at Trinity Quality Paint. I’d recommend, hire again, and show their work off anytime to anyone."

"Very happy with Sadot and his family business. He personally answers the phone 24/7 ( not a call center or 3rd party ) You deal directly with the owner. He communicates every day. He power washed old stain off, fixed and repaired bad and rotten wood, re-stained the desk. He followed price quote, he completed in time frame is originally stated, Workmanship of repairs and staining was PERFECT..these guys ( all family members ) are perfectionist, made sure I was a ratified customer, and his price was VERY REASONABLE, The next time I need anything related to painting, or exterior wood repair and finishing, he will be my first and maybe only call because I trust him, and I don't trust most people, but he earned my trust and confidence."

"We moved to a new home and were looking for a painter on a emergency basis before moving our furniture. Yolis painting services did excellent job on the same day we got estimate and work was done with the highest quality. We hired them for our second home too. Next we will hire them to paint our entire home. I would definitely recommend Yolis painting services."

"This was a very positive experience from the beginning to end. Brian was very responsive to my initial inquiry and in the selection of a paint color (which Iâ ve received many compliments on) to finalizing a quote that worked within my budget. Tom and Tammyâ s workmanship was exceptional. They clearly take a lot of pride in their work. I plan on having them back this spring to stain my deck. Highly recommend!"

"Taulant did a great job with my small drywall project. He arrived last Saturday morning and finished the job later that afternoon. I will do my own painting and I'm confident it will look seamless once painted. I strongly recommend him"

"Brian always returned my calls, kept me calm and made sure I was happy with the final outcome. He even fixed a couple minor issues himself. The crew was always here on time if not early and kept me up to date on how the job was progressing. Deb was a great help with picking out the paint colors and Mike was kind enough to help put back some heavy shelving and made sure I was satisfied with the stain color. James, Mike and Deb seemed to enjoy working together. I felt very comfortable with all of them working in my home."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

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.

If it rains after you paint your fence, you may need to apply another coat of paint after the fence thoroughly dries. This will ensure a good seal if the rain weakened any areas of the paint. However, if your paint had enough time to dry thoroughly before it rained, you should have no problem.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

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.
