"Rodney is the owner of Morehouse Painting. He was on time for the initial walk through and provided a timely quote. He was able to start painting per my timeframe. Rodney and Jeff did an excellent job, They were on time every day. We were matching existing colors and they were right on with the paint colors. We have high ceilings in part of the house....no problem. We had numerous nail pops. Those were repaired properly and look great. They also caulked as necessary. The interior looks like new again. Morehouse Painting gives "attention to detail" a whole new meaning. They found and repaired areas I didn't even notice previously. The exterior painting was pretty routine. It was done well and looks great. I rarely write reviews. Morehouse Painting is #1 in my book. You can trust Rodney and Jeff to any of your painting requirements. And if you like baseball, classic rock and/or mushrooms, you will find a lot to talk about with them."

"Leap Above did an incredible job on our screened in porch! They were prompt, courteous, and did great work! They took our porch from a dusty catch all storage room to my favorite part of the house and I couldn’t be happier! Pricing was great and George and his team were great to work with!"

"He came to my mom's new house and hung a new door that has a doggy door for her pets to go in and out to the backyard. Everything went really well and he was very nice. The project was tricky because of how the door fit the frame but he got everything up without issue. He was a little late arriving, but just had another appointment run over. Overall we would definitely hire him again!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.
