"We highly recommend W.R. Painting! We hired them to paint our Shed, and our Decks, as well to replace some rotten wood on our Shed. Their attention to detail was terrific. Customer service was excellent, and their workmanship was top notch. They were a little pricey, but well worth the dollars spent. Thank you, W.R. Painting for a job well done!"

"I am very pleased with the quality of the work done on my 2-story and detached garage. The painting crew were very professional, friendly, and truly seemed to enjoy their work. They did an awesome job! I have already requested a 2nd painting project with this company. I am a very happy customer, who also greatly appreciates a military discount."

Customers say: Quick response

"Mike and his son did a spectacular job. We got several estimates and they were on the lower end. However, we picked them not because of the price -- rather, we picked them based on the way Mike talked with us about doing the job. We were right, they were efficient, clean, and when ever we saw something that needed fixing (which was few) they immediately fixed the problem. Beyond that, when they found problems that they didn't have to fix they did. For example, they painted a door and replaced weather stripping on their own. We have hired many people to work on our house and they were among the best!"

"Mike was able to provide an estimate on my first available time. He arrived on time did the work and did a great job on repairing some ceiling drywall and painting it. I have some other work and will hire Mike again."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Maintaining a composite fence is pretty straightforward, as it doesn’t require staining or repainting. To keep it clean, scrub the fencing with a composite deck cleaner or hot, soapy water. Use a soft-bristle brush for the best results, and avoid using pressure washers or sanders. Plan to clean your fence at least twice a year. Scrubbing the fencing in the fall and spring can help prevent mold and mildew growth.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

You can weather a new wood fence by applying vinegar with steel wool as a way to fade some of the coloring. You may also find it easier to stain your entire fence a new color instead of trying to get newer fence boards to match an older one.
