"Mr. Ellis and his young adult crew were very professional in their approach to our project. Mr. Ellis told us what his crew was going to do and when they were going to do it. We wanted our slate sided home painted and these folks did a great job. They are the only business that still rolled and brushed paint. As far as we are concerned they are the best."

"We are so happy with the work he did on our house! He painted the yellow brick on the front of our home and the before and after speaks for itself. It looks like a completely different house! Everything looks so much cleaner, brighter, and more modern. He was professional, dependable, and really took his time to make sure the job was done right. You can tell he genuinely cares about the quality of his work and about making sure his customers are happy. We couldn’t be happier with the finished result. If you’ve been thinking about having your brick or exterior painted, I definitely recommend reaching out to him. Great work, great service, and someone we would absolutely hire again!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.

Yes, you can paint a chain-link fence, but you don’t want to use spray paint. With the spray method, you’ll be losing a majority of your product to the air, given the size of the gaps in chain-link fences. Instead, use a paintbrush for your fence posts and a paint roller for the wire.

The best time to stain a fence is when the weather is dry and temperatures are between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Late spring, early summer, and fall are typically the best seasons for this project. You should avoid staining during very hot weather, like in the middle of summer, or when it is raining. Heat and moisture can cause the stain to dry unevenly. Likewise, if it's too cold, such as in winter or early spring, the stain may not be able to dry fully. Before you start, check the forecast to ensure there will be no rain and low humidity for at least a few days.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.
