"We had our whole home painted by Five Star Painting. Chad gave a fair quote from the beginning, unlike others that way overbid and then came back later to say they had calculated wrong. This was highly appreciated. The project start was delayed a couple days but once they started, they were on time every day and worked professionally and diligently throughout the day. They ended up finishing earlier than projected. We had a lot of nail holes from the previous owners and they patched it all so it's like our walls are new. We would highly recommend this company to others and will use them again!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Preparation includes cleaning the fence, sanding any rough areas, applying a primer if necessary, and ensuring dry weather for application.

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.

The best type of paint to use for chain link fences is an oil-based paint. Oil-based paints are durable and will withstand the elements well. Search for an oil-based paint with rust protection and aluminum flakes to further protect the longevity of the fence.

100% acrylic latex lasts the longest for most siding. Premium 100% acrylic products carry lifetime warranties against peeling, blistering, and fading. Match the grade to your surface and climate for the best lifespan.

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.
