"Zach and his team painted the entire interior of my house and removed the pop corn ceiling! The work that was completed was fantastic and now my new home looks like a completely new place. I loved the promptness of Premium Painting and will definitely hire them again for future projects!"

Customers say: True professional

"I wanted to whitewash a 17' tall brown brick fireplace and paint an accent color on the wall surrounding the fireplace. I was very anxious to find the right craftsman and took a lot of bids - more than 6! I hired Paul Marcus - who was not the cheapest by a long shot - for several reasons. Not only because he seemed to know exactly what he was talking about and what the project would entail, but also because he was patient in answering my questions and explaining how he would do it. Most importantly, however -- he was the only bidder who discussed in some detail what would be involved in prepping the space and cleaning the brick before the whitewashing could begin. He discussed the type of brick we had ("soft" here, hard there) and how these differences would affect the way the whitewash would be applied and absorbed. He listened patiently to what I was hoping to accomplish, answered my questions and looked carefully at pictures I had found on the internet that best matched my vision. He and his employee, David, were both impressively professional from start to finish and very careful about my home and furnishings. When they began the actual whitewash process they made sure I was home and kept adjusting and working at the finish until I was 100% satisfied. The finished product matches my vision exactly and I am absolutely thrilled. It was worth every penny and I consider it an extremely valuable investment. I really wish I could post pictures because the change is dramatic and the finished product is just beautiful. Thank you, Home Advisor, for finding me Paul Marcus Painting. You found me what Angies List could not."

"We want to thank St. Charles Painting and Remodeling for the exceptional job they did rebuilding and staining our cedar fence. This was a complex project involving replacement of more than 200 pickets and 30 supports. Mark Walsh and his team managed and completed the project with much attention to detail. They provided excellent follow up as well. A special thank you is due to Barb Smith, the Office Manager/Controller for her excellent communication and follow up with us during a very busy time of year for the company. She always answered the phone and coordinated the project. We definitely recommend this company."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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.

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.
