"Our project involved removing wallpaper, that was painted over, painting trims, patching and covering some small tracks. We interviewed 4 companies and at the end we chose Dr Paint. They were professionals. Every day they would clean up, remove the trash. They worked on Saturday's so they can finish the job on a deadline we requested. And they did. The house looks great as a result of their work. I would recommend them to my family and friends. Great price and great job, we are very happy."

"ProVision did an excellent job of removing difficult wallpaper and painting in our en-suite bathroom. The paint color they helped us choos was perfect. They left the work area in spotless condition and left remaining paint availble for any future touch-ups."

"We used Five Star Painting for our stairs and we could not be happier with the finished product. Esvin was wonderful to work with along with his team. They were punctual every day and very professional. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing a paint job!"

"Super happy with the work Edgar and Jose did! I hired them over the summer to complete some exterior paint it came out phenomenal so I reached out for another job. They painted my staircase and installed new light fixtures, and everything came out looking great. They showed up on time, worked quickly, and kept everything clean. Really easy to work with and delivered exactly what they promised.. Highly recommend!"

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.

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

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

Regular cleaning, rust-proof coatings, and checking fasteners help prolong the lifespan.
