"My crew from NSP was amazing. Professional, courteous, kind and on point to get the task done. Large 2 story colonial with addition and ovs garage. I believe it took total of 5 days because of early weather in October 22. No paint chips on ground, very conscious of my shrubs and gardens, you would not even know they were painting. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this outstanding company and would not hesitate to have them paint my home again. The price was very fair, the warranty good but most of all they always stayed in touch to let me know what was going to happen etc. My team, Frank, Benjamin and Valerio were amazing. Peter the owner and coordinator did a great job. Thank you again. My neighbors stopped to tell me how great my home looks and asked for the name of the painters for them in springtime. Thats says much about Northshore Painting. Great job, great professionalism, great job. VCM Billerica Ma"

"Steve and his team were awesome! We had a fence installed that needed to be painted. Steve was really quick to stop by to get us a quote, and the job was done about a week after we confirmed with him. We are really happy with the finished project and will definitely hire them again fir future painting work."

"This is an easy review to write. I give Chris and his crew 5 stars for sure! Chris has an incredible eye for details and doing things well. Chris gave us suggestions about color combinations and our home looks straight out of a fancy magazine. Our home looks beautiful! We were in a unique situation and needed quality work done quickly. Chris and his crew did not disappoint. The crew even worked through the weekend to reach our deadline. Chris and his crew were always on time and worked painting the inside of our house on rain days. The crew was always friendly, respectful, courteous and fun to be around. I always looked forward to seeing them and was sad to see them go. Chris worked on our home as if it was his own. As long as Chris is in business we will not use another painter. We are very grateful and thank Chris and his crew for a job well done!"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Routine staining or sealing and periodic inspections to extend life.

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.

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.

The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.
