"Chris responded immediately. Came to my home on a Sunday and he & his crew started the next Tuesday. I never thought I could have my home painted in 8 days. From start to finish, he & his crew were here promptly at 8am. From the prep to the final coat of paint, they were professional and thorough. Not a spot of paint on my brand new floors. The price I was quoted was the price I paid. It was worth every penny. I plan on hiring them again for my kitchen and bathroom redo....I highly recommend that you do too!"

"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."

"H&M was not the lowest bid, but they did a high-quality job in the shortest amount of time. On one of Cape Cods 90 F degree days, they prepped and painted an unairconditioned 8X10' pantry with two colors and lots of fixed shelves. At the same time, part of the team prepped, painted and polyurethane an interior staircase. Will use them again."

"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!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

There are several ways to make a wooden fence more visually appealing and keep it that way for years to come.

  • Treat the fence with a wood sealant to protect it against the elements. It’s recommended to reseal a fence every two to three years, but if you live in a harsh climate, you may want to do it more frequently than that.

  • Restore the fence if it’s old, corroding, or fading. That includes cleaning it and making small repairs where needed.

  • Paint the fence in a color that you like, whether that’s a simple white or more vibrant option. Fences usually need to be repainted every one to three years.

  • Decorate the fence with planters, string lights, birdhouses, mirrors, shutters, and more.

A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.
