"This is my first time leaving a review on this site but I just have to put in a good word for this painting team. My husband and I were very pleased with the perfect paint job they did for our nursery. We have high standards and they met them and were so wonderful to work with too. We felt the cost for their service was very reasonable and they were quick to get it done. I have already told my neighbors about them as they have painting that needs to be done. I would hire Dave, Ian, and Lynne again for further painting needs."
"Doug was very professional and quick to respond to questions. His workers were on time and completed the project in record time and did an excellent job painting our house."
"Great job. Alex and his brother Tony did a really good job. I recommend this company for interior painting. Alex set expectations and consistently met or exceeded those expectations."
"Steven gave us an honest quote - he was always on time - very, very knowledgeable about home paint - he had the hands of a surgeon when applying paint to our home, he was courteous and left the painting job and cleaned up the mess! In our initial interview my husband said we should take into consideration his young age - but he had the skills of an aged expert! I would give Steven's business all 5 starts but in my clicking process I could not register my stars -"

"The work done was done very well, but they decided they could not paint dormers on the roof because of steepness even though it was part of the bid. Took some off bill, but probably would not hired him if I knew dormers were not going to get painted."
"Browns Handyman was awesome to work with! Casey was a great communicator, showed up on time, and finished our fence in under two days. Would recommend them to anyone needing a fence repair!"

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.
Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.
Routine staining or sealing and periodic inspections to extend life.
Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.
While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again.
