"An absolute 10/10 experience. The attention to detail was immaculate and they were great at communicating with us about everything from their timeline and delivery schedules to what to expect with the process. They were also incredibly considerate around working with our schedules and making sure we felt great every step of the way. The process from start to finish was really seamless. I work from home a lot and never once felt uncomfortable being alone with the guys. We'll actually miss having them around, they are such a wonderful group of extremely kind and talented people that take pride in their work. They put in the time and effort like they were remodeling their own home and we had such a positive experience. I can't recommend Innovation Painting and Remodeling enough, we will absolutely be going to them for any future renovation projects."

"Dave showed up when he said, completed all of the work as promised and even better than promised. The crew was professional, and always thorough. I hired him again after the first job for another roof repair, and my son will be hiring him after seeing the work he did. This is the company to go to."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The best time to stain a fence is when the weather is dry and temperatures are between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Late spring, early summer, and fall are typically the best seasons for this project. You should avoid staining during very hot weather, like in the middle of summer, or when it is raining. Heat and moisture can cause the stain to dry unevenly. Likewise, if it's too cold, such as in winter or early spring, the stain may not be able to dry fully. Before you start, check the forecast to ensure there will be no rain and low humidity for at least a few days.

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.

Select based on wood type, climate tolerance, and personal preference for color and finish, with choices like oil-based stains for longevity.
