"I was doing a kitchen remodel and desperately wanted to paint my cabinets, wanted to diy, but ultimately lacked the time and space. I hired Jake and he was professional and prompt, and very respectful of my space as the whole project was a live in remodel. He's now my go to painter!"

"We hired Rein Green Painting to repair and paint the exterior of a seasonal cottage in addition to replacing and sealing the lattice work at the base of the house - they've been very pleasant to work with and quite responsive - jumping on the project and completing it quickly - and they've done a great job, I recommend."

"EXCELLENT CONTRACTOR. My project was drywall installation during a bathroom remodel. I chose Golden Rule after reading the reviews and obtaining an estimate. The price matched the budget I had set for this part of the project. The work was performed during four visits over four days (drying periods are required for drywall). Michael showed up on time each day. He was very polite and very helpful with explanation of drywall techniques and also offered advice on other household repairs I might need. The final product was perfect and ready for painting. I am very pleased and would not hesitate to use Golden Rule for any future projects."

"Jon and his crew did a great job on our house. We were trying to get our new house painted before we moved in and Jon worked with us to achieve that goal. In addition to the painting, the crew took on several additional projects to prep for painting, including some light carpentry work. Jon was also flexible in working with other contractors who were doing work in the house at the same time, often complicating the painting work. After we moved in, Jon returned several times to touch up the paint and to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the work. Although we're new to the area. We'll look forward to working with Jon on any of our future painting projects and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, reasonably priced painter."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Overall costs depend on the fence height and length, prep work required, and labor if hiring professionals, ranging between $1 and $4 per square foot.
