"We bought a house whose maintenance had been neglected over the years. The smell inside the house was bad and we knew that the whole inside of the house would need to be repainted. The original painter we hired backed out at the last minute and we needed to find a reputable painter immediately. Turned to Home Advisor and found several that were listed. Looked at reviews and decided to contact Bill Searle Painting. We are so glad that we did! Bill and his crew came in on short notice and repainted the whole inside of the house, including the doors! The bad smell was almost gone (completely gone after floors were redone). The paint job they did was absolutely fantastic and we cannot say enough about how great of a job they did. We also hired them to power wash the outside of the house and to stain the front deck of the house. Their work is outstanding! They impressed our son and his family enough to hire them to paint the inside of their home. We will have some other projects to do next year and we plan to contact Bill and have him come back to do the work. Do not hesitate to contact Bill if you need any painting or staining work that needs to be done!"
"Wallpaper removal/ceiling repairs/painting great room, hallways and kitchen. Professionally done, prompt and on schedule, knowledgeable re needed repairs, great clean-up. Very pleased."
"We hired Eric from Ray's Painting. Oh, my word, he was completely thorough, very polite, and couldn't have done a better job. He even reworked two areas that didn't satisfy him. Our house looks like the siding and trim was just installed. I would recommend him to anyone."
"After getting quotes from a few people, a different contracted for another project reccomended we use home advisor. GR painting pro came out, he was professional, he had everything he needed to give a good estimate, he was honest about what was needed. The price wasn't the cheapest we had recieved but we could tell we we're going to get better service. The project was completed in the time frame he gave. He utilized a lot of equiptment to protect the surrounding areas from dust and damage. The project was removing water damaged drywall from a wall and ceiling - I was very nervous about it blending in and was scared we'd need a popcorn ceiling to cover - that was not the case! When we finally got around to painting, there was a small spot that needed sanding...the next day he was out to do it, even though it had been over a month and we hadn't said anything to him regarding it. The assurance that he will come back if we have issues or concerns really cements this business as honest and worth the money."
Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.
Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.
Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.
You shouldn't paint a metal fence. Painting doesn't necessarily damage a corrugated metal fence, but these types of fences are meant to flex, and paint can easily chip and break off. Latex paints can address this issue, but those tend not to be very weather-resistant. Certain paints can trap moisture in the corrugation, which can rust the metal and lead to corrosion. And finally, if you paint a copper fence, it won't patina, which is one of the main reasons people buy copper.
