"My cedar siding had experienced significant woodpecker damage at the east end of my home, coupled with bird damage and dry rot of the NE corner vertical trim board. With primary materials (trim board, a small amount of spare cedar siding, wood filler, paint and stain provided by me, S & J provided two workers for a full day. The did an excellent job and the house looks whole and tight again. This was a welcome relief over a prior plan to completely re-side the house. Jerry and Stacey at S&J are great to deal with. Jerry is proactive, positive and the pricing is perfect for the task. Great job."

"Spiro's Painting did a lovely job, and the porch now looks pristine and clean. Moreover, we no longer have to worry about the exposed wood on the posts and soffits as a result of peeling paint. There were a few hiccups with scheduling, but the team was efficient, tidy, and true to their word about the length of the job. I would definitely add our voice to so many others in recommending Spiro's Painting, and we'll certainly reach out to them in the future if we have other painting projects."

"David and Christian were very professional and helped us get our ceiling painted without issue! They said it would be a two day project and ended up being just complete in one! Thankful for their services and Annapolis Painting for the great service."

All work was done at a high level of quality and in a timely manner. Communication for planning each of the tasks easy and reliable. Contractor arrived on time. I highly recommend for power washing and paint jobs."

"Miguel’s Team painting services was truly exceptional. We initially hired Miguel to paint our kitchen cabinets from their original wood stain to a dark forest green. Our cabinet colors came out great, and the service was reasonably priced.  Miguel’s Team did such an excellent job that we also hired them to repaint our entire house."

Painting questions, answered by experts

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Yes, you can paint a chain-link fence, but you don’t want to use spray paint. With the spray method, you’ll be losing a majority of your product to the air, given the size of the gaps in chain-link fences. Instead, use a paintbrush for your fence posts and a paint roller for the wire.

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

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.
