"Liedel Powerwashing and Painting did a phenomenal job painting our home. We have a large 1-1/2 story ranch that really needed painting. Starting with the original estimate, every member of the crew was professional. They arrived when promised, were respectful of your property and made sure that we were satisfied when they finished. We were in need of having some siding replaced before they painted and the gentleman that came by to do it completed it without any issues. We would not hesitate to recommend Liedel Powerwashing and Painting to any of your friends. The job is complete and the price was fair. We were pleased from beginning to end. This company was a true Blessing to us!"

"Nathan is top quality! Fair pricing. Doesn't break the bank. I've hired him for two jobs now. The kitchen ceiling drywall and the garage ceiling, walls, and corners repair. Jobs were both top notch! Cleans up very well after himself and preps the areas before beginning the jobs. Shows up when scheduled!! I definitely and highly recommend Nathan. Very nice and personable, which is a bonus! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ Michelle and Mike"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or 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.

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. 

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.

Painting or staining protects fences from environmental damage, enhances durability, and improves curb appeal with a fresh, customized look.
