As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.</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.
