"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 team were excellent, hard working, friendly, and very easy to work with. Their attention to detail and dedication to our project was top notch. Communication was great! We had 8 rooms painted including high ceilings, hallways, ceilings repaired from water damage, smaller bathrooms painted, interior doors grained/exterior painted, and window staining completed. I recommend Barney for any project! They are such great people on top of being professional craftsmen."

"Paint Man LLC painted the main styling area of our hair salon and it looks way better than before. They were easy to work with, got in and out without disrupting business, and left everything clean. Would definitely use them again."

"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!"

"They did an outstanding job with both wood work and painting. After the project was complete, they returned to repair and paint two huge holes that woodpeckers made well after the job was done. I will hire them again on my next project."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.

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.

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.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.
