"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."

"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!"

"All the people I met listened to my needs. They managed to get a pasta sauce stain out of my ceiling! I am really glad to see that gone. The painters were both professional and meticulous. My ceilings have never looked so good. We have already started talking about painting the rest of the house and will call Brian and his team to do the job. Thanks for the great service!"

"My daughter found Alex and referred him to us for an interior house painting project. The job included painting the ceilings and walls in three bedrooms, changing all the window trim from black to white, and repainting the basement ceiling, walls, closet door, and the inside of the shelves from black to white. The project was completed in three and a half days, exactly as outlined in the contract agreement. The quality of the painting work was very good, and we are happy with the results. The only issue was that one item was accidentally left out of the contract. However, once I pointed it out to Alex, he immediately agreed to take care of it. Overall, we had a positive experience and appreciated his willingness to make things right."

"Sometimes getting quotes on large jobs like exterior house staining/painting can be difficult and exhausting. Pro Painting & Restoration is definitely the place to go!! . From start to finished product, I can tell you that I honestly would give them a 10 if the scale went that high. It is everything I read about when reading reviews and then some! thank you so much for a fantastic job on a cedar siding house with exterior woodwork that needed to be done."

"Taulant did a great job with my small drywall project. He arrived last Saturday morning and finished the job later that afternoon. I will do my own painting and I'm confident it will look seamless once painted. I strongly recommend him"

"I would wholeheartedly recommend MNM Painting and would use them again in a minute. I needed extensive drywall repair and painting work done on an apartment building and Guillermo (owner) and the MNM crew worked tirelessly (including weekends) to get the job done, on time, professionally, and at a fair price. Happy to recommend Guillermo and the MNM company, they can do much more than “painting & decorating”!"

They always show up on time when they are scheduled and are very transparent with their pricing, and communicate any issues if they arise, so there aren't any surprises. They complete all projects to our satisfaction, and everything is done with the highest quality. We are very happy with the work they have done for us over the years and will continue using JM Painting for future projects."

Painting questions, answered by experts

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

If it rains after you paint your fence, you may need to apply another coat of paint after the fence thoroughly dries. This will ensure a good seal if the rain weakened any areas of the paint. However, if your paint had enough time to dry thoroughly before it rained, you should have no problem.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.
