"Tyler with just walls was one of the lower bids we had to paint our new home walls and some pillars, along with staining our doors. He was also the most curteous and responsive to our desires. I also appreciate how kind he was to my daughter and fiancee. I will use them again for any future jobs."
"Everything was done better and faster than I expected! They were very knowledgeable about paints and the process. They even took on a few extra projects I needed painted such as some exterior cement wall and our porch swing. Very kind and professional!"
"When I reached out to Tenzin, he was very responsive and showed up as promised to provide us a quote on the painting project. His pricing was very competitive vs. others that we had asked for bid. But most important to us was that Tenzin and his crew were available within the timeframe that we needed to have the project completed.
Our paint project took over a week to complete given the extensive nature of the work. Not only did we have the entire interior and exterior repainted, but we had three wood doors resanded and revarnished. In addition, we had bead board panels on our two garage doors that had warped. Tenzin and his team ripped them off, resanded and repainted to doors. These projects were not typical for a painting company to tackle and we were very appreciative that they did.
Overall, we could not have been more pleased with TM Painting. Not only was the quality of the work excellent, but their pricing was competitive and they were true to their word about what they would do.
I would highly recommend TM Painting and would rehire them in a heartbeat!!!"
"I cannot say enough good about Arcaya Propainters. They were professional, prompt, friendly, and paid amazing attention to detail. I have already recommended them to friends and family. We will call them back when we are ready for any other painting needs."
"Excellent work, our home looks like new! The job was completed in a short time and his crew was so good! We would highly recommend Tony LaMotte Painting to everyone!"
"Tom first of all pressure-washed my home's entire exterior, then he recommended a special sealant to use before the paint job on the shake siding of my house - it worked great - all the paint work was excellent and the job was done quickly and professionally - He also did a large interior room and I noticed that he used brand-new equipment to do the job, which also turned out excellent - Tom is a good resource to know about for painting"
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.
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.
Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.
Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.
