Q: Can you paint a metal fence?

• <div><p>You shouldn't paint a metal fence. Painting doesn't necessarily damage a corrugated metal fence, but these types of fences are meant to flex, and paint can easily chip and break off. Latex paints can address this issue, but those tend not to be very weather-resistant. Certain paints can trap moisture in the corrugation, which can rust the metal and lead to corrosion. And finally, if you paint a copper fence, it won't patina, which is one of the main reasons people buy copper. </p></div>

Q: Should I brush or roll stain on wood?

• <div><p>Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. </p><p>Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.</p></div>

Q: How long should I wait to seal a new cedar fence?

• <div><p>If your cedar fence is new, don&rsquo;t delay. Unlike treated pine, you don&rsquo;t need to wait months for the wood to dry out for it to accept stain. With cedar, the sooner, the better. Seal cedar within two weeks of installation to prevent the sun from fading its red color.</p></div>

Q: What costs can I expect for painting or staining a fence?

• <div><p>Overall costs depend on the fence height and length, prep work required, and labor if hiring professionals, ranging between $1 and $4 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: Is wood stain flammable after it dries?

• <div><p>Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.</p></div>

Derek did excellent work painting our triple garage doors and staining the large front door and trim. Not a drop of paint got anywhere it was not meant to be. We will certainly hire him again for any future painting. His work is top quality.

Once the glitches were resolved, everything went great! Second Street Painting was at the house on the appointed day and time. They worked quickly and efficiently, and had the job done in just two days. I would definitely use them again, and recommend them to anyone that asks about them.
