"I received Jamie's name from a Perham paint supplier. Upon receiving my text, Jamie responded immediately. I sent him my address and a few pics of the house. Even though I wasn't able to meet with him that night. He came out to inspect the house for bid. He sent a couple questions, which I replied.I returned home that evening to a bid on my phone. Impressive, I thought. When can you start? Monday he replied. I have a two story house 4,600 sq ft. It took two weeks to complete. Not only was the job done to my satisfaction. They went above my expectations. I was so pleased that i added a few hundred dollar tip as a thank you bonus. Respectful, considerate, focused! That was our experience!"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

DIY is possible with proper tools and knowledge, but professionals can ensure even application and high-quality results, saving time and hassle.
