"I needed some painting done professionally and timely. I got both with Steve. He arrived timely for the estimate and the job. He completed everything in the time quoted and I could not be more pleased with the results. I am going to him for another body of work without hesitation. If you want quality and professionalism, call Steve."

"Brian and his team were great. Not only did they do a great job painting, but Brian had us leave all furniture in place and his team moved it to paint and moved it back in place before we got home. Extremely helpful for those of us that don't have time to be rearranging furniture morning and night. They also assisted determining where some stains were coming from by removing drywall and replacing it, in an awkward area of the ceiling. They repaired and looked like new. Highly recommend Brian and his team."

"Welerson, Daniel and the team at ABC Painting are fabulous. They are clean, organized, prompt and very professional. Welerson and Daniel stop by frequently to check on the progress of the job and to offer very valuable suggestions. I had them paint a room that was originally stained cedar panels. WOW, the transformation of this room is incredible. Thank you ABC Painting for a high quality job. I give them my highest recommendation."

"Excellent!! Anthony (foreman) and crew did an exceptional job removing wall paper and painting several rooms in our home. They were professional and meticulous. We would definitely recommend them as well as use them again either for interior or exterior painting."

"I’d like to share my recent experience with Al’s Painting Service. In short, the entire process was exceptional. Al came out to provide me with an estimate the very next day after my initial phone call, which I really appreciated. Not only was his proposal the most competitive among the three quotes I received, but the quality of his work truly stood out. Al and his crew were true professionals efficient, and delivered outstanding craftsmanship from start to finish. I highly recommend Al’s Painting Service and will absolutely be reaching out to him again for any of my paining needs."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

The best time to stain a fence is when the weather is dry and temperatures are between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Late spring, early summer, and fall are typically the best seasons for this project. You should avoid staining during very hot weather, like in the middle of summer, or when it is raining. Heat and moisture can cause the stain to dry unevenly. Likewise, if it's too cold, such as in winter or early spring, the stain may not be able to dry fully. Before you start, check the forecast to ensure there will be no rain and low humidity for at least a few days.

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.

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.

The best finish for wrought iron railings is either a semi-gloss or a gloss sheen, as each offers good durability against rain, wind, heat, cold, and snow. 

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.
