"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."

"Really happy with the work! They did a great job from start to finish and were easy to work with. The paint looks great, everything was done neatly, and they cleaned up when they were finished. You can tell they actually care about doing a good job and making sure the customer is happy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get some painting done. Great work and great people!"

"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

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

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