"They painted a shipment container. First, they power washed the shipment container and they painted it for me, and they clean up after themselves. They show up on time, professional, orderly, did a thorough job, clean up after themselves and worked with me in an efficient manner."

Customers say: Quick response

"Schippers Co- P.S- I wanted to add another remark about the Schippers Co- just to add our final, overall experience with Nick and his colleague, Larry. Awesome work, great cleanup and satisfaction guaranteed. Like any or all new painting-walls, ceiling, trim; etc, you may discover after your paint dries, there may be a touch up or another coat that needs application. We only had our kitchen that we were on the fence about as we thought one more coat was sufficient. That does not have anything to do with their professional standards, it has to do with how the paint coat drying! Schippers wanted to not only know, they wanted to make it right to our ease of mind and are so professional, they came back after a week and put their final touches on it. They came back smiling; and got to it. Quick, and easy is their mantra. Aside from the RFQ?s put out wouldnt you choose this company! Five Star- TAD"

"Our home looks brand new thanks to Brush & Roll! We were in desperate need of a new paint job on the exterior of our home and interior. The team arrived on time, worked diligently throughout the day, and stuck to the agreed-upon timeline. The crew spent significant time cleaning, sanding, and caulking before painting. Leaving an incredible outcome. I am very impressed and pleased with the job done!"

"Randy and his crew were superb to work with. They did a wonderful job painting the interior of my condo - all of the ceilings and walls, and paid attention to details. Everyone was professional and very easy to work with. I would not hesitate to contract with Durapro again or to refer them to others."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

You should repaint your fence every 1 to 3 years, depending on the appearance of wear and tear. Weather and usage will factor into how often you should paint another coat on your fence. If you need to replace a few fence boards or posts, you may want to consider repainting the fence to help protect the rest of the fence as well as the new pieces against damage and deterioration from being exposed to the elements.

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.
