"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."

"Carpenters from Innovation removed on old pine porch and built a new cedar one. They designed it, and whenever "issues" popped up, they used creativity and imagination to resolve them successfully. The new porch is well-built, sturdy, and attractive. It should last for decades. A painter from Innovation stained the finished product with Australian Timber Oil, a semi-transparent stain that protects the cedar while also showcasing the wood grain. The whole project turned out great. Thanks for a job well done."

"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

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.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels. 

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.
