"I recently hired Lampman’s Painting & Pressure Washing for a painting and power washing project, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. Painting Services: The team transformed the interior of my home with their expert painting skills. They took great care in preparing the surfaces, ensuring a smooth and even finish. Their color recommendations were spot-on, and the quality of their work is evident in every room. They worked efficiently, kept the workspace clean, and completed the project on time. Power Washing Services: The exterior of my house looks brand new after their power washing service. They removed years of grime, mildew, and dirt from the siding, deck, and driveway. The difference is remarkable, and I appreciate the thoroughness with which they tackled the job. Customer Service: Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. The team was punctual, courteous, and respectful of my property. They provided a detailed estimate upfront and stuck to it, with no surprise charges. Overall, I highly recommend Lampman’s Painting & Pressure Washing for anyone in need of painting or power washing services. Their expertise, reliability, and dedication to customer satisfaction make them stand out in the industry. I’ll definitely be using their services again in the future!"

"Tate is the best of the best. He did a million things for me - door installation, custom baseboard and trim installation, painting, flooring, swapping light fixtures, etc, etc. He is meticulous and does excellent work, as well as being well-priced, fair, and honest. Heâ s a super hard worker and cares about the end product. Youâ re lucky if you get to have Tate work on a job for you."

"I hired Rushcreek to do some interior painting. There were some very small issues, i.e. replacing the bathroom mirror, shower curtain on the floor, etc., The main thing for me was that I had paid him in full. After he finished the job he billed me again for "additional work" he felt was over and above his initial bid."

Painting FAQs, 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.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. 

For the best results, you should apply two coats of paint to your wrought iron fence. Let your first coat dry for about an hour then promptly apply your second coat.
