"Mine was a difficult project with several rooms, hallways, and passageways with a two-story family room. There was a lot of furniture to move around and a brand new carpet already installed. Dr. Paint's people were VERY professional and did the job in four days as promised, paying special attention to cleaning up at the end of each day. Considering all that had to be done they worked very fast but without compromising quality. There was tiny punch list at the end of the project that Derek, the owner, resolved very quickly. Delighted with their work and would most definitely recommend Dr. Paint to anyone else."

"Lawrence scoped end project and communicated the full steps and timing in the project that exceeded my expectations! He communicated the steps through completion and timing and delivered all his commitments on time! Due to leak in the upstairs bath, the master bath ceiling caved in requiring replacement of the . Lawrence rebuilt the ceiling taped, spackled and finished painting in less than two days! We were very pleased! Pleased with his flawless work and painting , we hired him to paint our kitchen and master bedroom! A true artist!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

For the best results, you should apply two coats of paint to your wrought iron fence. Let your first coat dry for about an hour then promptly apply your second coat.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
