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."

"Project: Outdoor spiral staircase was done in one day, removing rust, priming and painting. Indoor staircase rails were sanded, primed and changed from a yellow maple to a brown that accented beautifully. The painters were professional, pleasent and polite. Josh was very helpful throughout the projects., Looking forward to working with them on our future projects. Great quality for a great price."

Painting questions, answered by experts

The best time to stain a fence is when the weather is dry and temperatures are between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Late spring, early summer, and fall are typically the best seasons for this project. You should avoid staining during very hot weather, like in the middle of summer, or when it is raining. Heat and moisture can cause the stain to dry unevenly. Likewise, if it's too cold, such as in winter or early spring, the stain may not be able to dry fully. Before you start, check the forecast to ensure there will be no rain and low humidity for at least a few days.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

A cedar fence will actually last quite a long time even if you don’t treat it with stain. In fact, you can expect to get between 15 and 30 years out of an untreated cedar fence. However, if you want to preserve its color and extend its life, treat it with a combination stain and sealer every three to five years.

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.
