"Erivan has done a lot of painting over the years for our triple decker - exterior and interior. This summer he painted our rental unit and as usual did a wonderful job - he shows up on time, is very neat, and does a very professional job. He also just power washed and stained our first floor porch, painted some new window trims that we'd just had replaced, and also repainted some of the trim around the porch even though we hadn't asked him to do so. It looks great! Erivan takes great pride in his work and we always feel like he's taking care of our home as if it is his own. He is also a very warm and friendly person."

"Timely quote given. Project scheduled a few weeks later. Unfortunately will require some touch up painting but they left matching paint thankfully, otherwise would have been higher rating."

"EXCELLENT!! I could not be more pleased. Peter and his staff were wonderful to work with. From my first inquiry to get an estimate, to the final payment, they were punctual, professional, friendly, and most importantly, the work done was of high quality. Peter himself is a a very easy to work with he made the entire house painting experience super easy. He kept me fully informed along the way, and he and his crew were timely both with the initial estimating process and with the entire job. They even helped with color selection for my house, and I am beyond thrilled with the final results. They did a good amount of carpentry work (fixing rotted trim, repairing clapboards, etc) and everything looks great. There was absolutely no mess at all along the way. I have already asked Peter for a quote for some interior painting. I highly recommend them based on my experience."

"This company repainted two warehouse units I own and did a great job. I have done some internal house painting myself so I can appreciate the fine job- good straight lines between paint of different colors on wall and ceiling, even quality paint coverage, just generally first rate. Would recommend."

"Hany and his crew are just as outstanding as when I first hired them 8 years ago. They recently painted the exterior of my 126 year old house and it looks absolutely beautiful. Hany gave me a reasonable price for my budget and he and his crew did not disappoint. I highly recommend this contractor for their high professionalism and courtesy. 10 plus out of 10. Thank you again Hany!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Painting or staining protects fences from environmental damage, enhances durability, and improves curb appeal with a fresh, customized look.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

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.

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.
