"We were completely happy with Al and his worker Dave. They did a wonderful job in painting our kitchen ceiling which we had done by another painting Co. and it was a mess. They were totally professional and friendly. Not one drop of paint splashed anywhere, cleaned up everything beautifully. Would hire them again without any hesitation. Great guys to work with."

"My husband and I initially hired Alex to power wash then stain our deck. Since my husband at a young student, painted homes, he was aware of Alex’ meticulous work. Most recently, Alex, power washed our house followed by painting the interior of our home, as well as the exterior trim of our home. He replaced boards that were damaged by bees on the outside shed. Alex was punctual, polite, and a spotless cleaner upper. A gold star painter!"

"Charles painted the second floor of my in-law's new home in Brewster. It was a large room with cathedral ceilings, stained walls and a textured ceiling .as well as a bathroom. His workmanship is top notch; it looks like a new house! He was reasonably priced, prompt, cleaned up at the end of each day and made some recommendations to help make everything look perfect. Would definitely use again and highly recommend him!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"FCL is an amazing company. From the owner Felipe to the rest of his crew, professionalism was evident. Punctual and exceptional quality of work. When one color of paint was not the color my wife like, FCL returned to apply another coat of the paint that my wife wanted. No problem. Felipe was very accommodating and we were totally satisfied. I strongly recommend FCL. We will use them again!"

"Anderson and his crew were very meticulous with great attention to detail. The exterior staining was a difficult project as my home had not been stained in many years and many shingles had to be replaced. His shingling crew did a fantastic job and the house looks awesome. Anderson checked on the work almost daily and he made sure that we were happy with the results. My husband and I would highly recommend Anderson and Sons Painting for any home project."

"Oscar Vico Painting proved to be as outstanding, in every way, as his reviews and reputation posted on line would indicate. His job for me included walls (some with wallpaper stripping and skim coating required) originally stained doors, both paneled and louvered (with frames, molding and baseboards), and a papered stairwell with a high half-wall, the final motivation that led me to a Pro. I will be forever grateful that Pro was Oscar Vico. Skilled and adept with the actual prep and painting, his efficient organizing and planning for every step was equally impressive. He always knew how to end the day at a logical break point, as he cruised to the finish line. His array of tools (including a kind of telescoping ladder that made short work of my stairway ceiling) was dazzling. Ive done plenty of indoor and outdoor painting in my life, proud of my own skills and knowledge, but not close to Oscars level. His choice for paint and stain aligns perfectly with what I know to be the best in those categories; just one of the many reasons I will be using Oscar to repaint and stain my homes exterior, just as soon as his busy schedule allows. Thank you Oscar Vico!"

"The team tackled a tough job of a badly deteriorating deck floor and railing. It took several days of sanding to get to a level and smooth surface ready for staining. In addition, they did window trim, fixed pulpy garage door and widow sill areas, power washed house and deck and painting a portion of siding that was peeling. Overall, a good deal of work done after a great prep job."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.
