"David and his crew are very professional. David came back to paint the bedroom because I didn't have the room ready the first time. He uses Sherwin Williams paint which comes in great colors and covers really well. The crew was very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend."

"Barney and his sons painted the walls and ceilings of my home and did an extensive amount of staining of the woodwork as well. The job was quite a challenge as the house is quite old but Barney's crew was unfazed. The house has undergone a complete transformation from a "renters special" to a gorgeous Craftsman bungalow. It was a pleasure working with Barney and he was very attentive and responsive to communications."

"Honestly, I was skeptical about painting our oak cabinets. I was terrified they would look like a cheap DIY paint job with brush marks, or that my house would be covered in dust. ​Home Hue Heroes completely proved me wrong. ​Darlin and Jeremy didn't just 'paint' the kitchen; they set up a full containment system (like a bubble!) so not a speck of dust got into the rest of the house. They were meticulous—labeling every door, scrubbing everything down, and sanding it to perfection. ​The finish? It is literally flawless. It feels like smooth glass and looks like it came straight from the factory. You cannot see a single wood grain or brush stroke. They used a high-end Sherwin-Williams coating that wipes down easily. ​If you are on the fence, just do it. They showed up on time every day, finished exactly when they said they would (5 days!), and gave us a 2-year guarantee. Highly recommend!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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.
