"TG Painters were great to deal with. From initial consultation last fall right through to completion this Spring! Tyler and his crews were on time as scheduled. Prompt, courteous and hard working. Communication during the project was good. They did a wonderful job painting the exterior of our home and staining our deck. SO happy with the results,"

"Alic did an amazing job, he showed up every day that the weather cooperated in order to get the job done in a timely manner. The deck was unfinished wood prior to him coming and now it looks incredible! We would definitely hire him again for any other painting needs, interior or exterior!"

"Rodney at Mainecoast Painting was great to work with and kept us up to date throughout our project. They painted the ceilings and interior walls of a house where a smoker had lived and offered options to help remove the nicotine smell. They added some scents to the primer and also rented an ozone machine too and ran it in the evenings as they left. After doing all of that and painting the walls the nicotine smell has gone away!!! We completely recommend Mainecoast Painting for any of your painting projects!!! And if we ever need more painting we will definitely hire the crew again!!!"

"I hired Don to paint the downstairs interior of my new house. I hired him the Sunday before Christmas and he worked right through the holiday week and finished the job on time. His prices were extremely competitive. He also was very clean. I had the flooring contractor coming in after him and he took great care not to splash paint on the floor. He did a great job painting walls, even caulked around the window frames where he felt a draft. My family is very excited to move into our new home. Now we can feel welcomed when we walk in everyday. I plan on hiring him to paint the trim as soon as the funds open up in my budget."

"Ed was willing to work around our schedule to accomplish the huge task of stripping and repainting my restaurantâ s original tin ceiling in the dining room. I am extremely happy with his workâ my customers comment every day on how the place looks so much larger (because of a light color now rather than black). We did not have to close AT ALL because of Grayâ s Painting understanding of being a small business."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

We don’t recommend it. A wired brush or a brush with metal bristles damages concrete and asphalt during the stain removal process. For the best results, stick to nylon stiff enough to do the job but gentle enough to keep from scratching the driveway. For extra caution, skip the brush entirely and use towels.

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.
