"Awesome experience; Jose was very responsive and showed us a lot of paint samples until we got exactly what we wanted. Showed up on time and finished early. His crew was hard working and very careful of not damaging anything. Cleaned up everything too. Will definitely use them again."

"Derek end his team at Complete Painting & Restoration truly exceeded our expectations. As first time homebuyers, the prospect of painting all 2,100 sqft of our townhouse one neutral wall color with one trim seemed daunting. Derek and his team made the entire process seamless and even helped us select colors. We will definitely be using Complete Painting & Restoration again."

"A really great experience - our new go-to painter! We got a recommendation for this contractor at our local paint store because we were looking for specific expertise with masonry paint and limewash. The owner was responsive, solutions-driven, reasonable and timely. His whole team was professional - and we really appreciated their high quality work product and attention to detail. The whole team delivered exactly what we wanted…..our home looks so beautiful now!"

"Casey helped us with paint selection and painting of our newly remodeled master bathroom, which looks amazing. He also was able to repair some holes and match the existing paint color in our master bedroom so that it’s impossible to tell there was ever any damage. Casey is very responsive, punctual, and fit the work in very quickly. He’s a pleasure to work with, and would definitely recommend!"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

You can weather a new wood fence by applying vinegar with steel wool as a way to fade some of the coloring. You may also find it easier to stain your entire fence a new color instead of trying to get newer fence boards to match an older one.

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Painting or staining protects fences from environmental damage, enhances durability, and improves curb appeal with a fresh, customized look.
