"Rick and his team painted my finished basement walls and bathroom walls. Two coats were applied. It took two days and they did a fabulous job. The job was scheduled timely and the painters were hard working and careful. Set-up, painting, and clean-up was perfect. The price was reasonable as well. If I need another painting job I would use them again."

"Prompt and courtesy as stated in all other reviews. Worked for two days on my project and each day they cleaned up behind themselves. Because this was my daughter's home (and I house-sat) while they did their work, I felt guilty because each day they arrived early/on time and I arrived slightly tardy but they performed the work in a professional manner. In fact, I had no choice but to leave them alone (twice) to pick up other grandkids. When i left, they were working and when I returned they were STILL working. I have similar work at my residence that need to be completed and I will definitely use Wells Painting again. Excellent pricing."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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

100% acrylic latex lasts the longest for most siding. Premium 100% acrylic products carry lifetime warranties against peeling, blistering, and fading. Match the grade to your surface and climate for the best lifespan.

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.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

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.
