Customers say: True professional

"My wife and I hired Duff Painting Company to paint the exterior of our two-story cedar house in Webster Groves. The house had been previously painted by a different company 10 years ago, but the sun exposed sides started to crack and peel several years ago, perhaps prematurely. Mike Duff, the owner, was a joy to work with. Shortly after being contacted, he came to our house for purposes of discussing our needs and to formulate a bid which was emailed just a few days later. I also received bids from three other companies. I went with Mike because I got the sense that his small company would provide a superior level of skill, attention to detail and craftsmanship compared to the others (and I was right about that), and because his bid was more reasonable than the others for the same work. We made a great choice. Mike’s team of long-term experienced employees showed up on time every day, and were very pleasant, professional, hard-working, and competent. They did an excellent job scrapping, prepping and priming the many rough patches unlike the previous two painting companies we had used. They skillfully taped all the windows. They used a combination of a sprayer and hand rollers to apply the 2 coats. They cleaned up after themselves every day such that you would not have known they were there, and made sure to leave their equipment overnight on different parts of the grass each day so as not to kill it during the week it took to finish the job. It was obvious the team did not believe in cutting corners or rushing the job. The team leader was very good at explaining the process, and he went the extra mile to take care of some additional painting requests I made on the spot which were not part of the original contract. I greatly appreciated the flexibility. Also unlike the prior painting companies, they had a porta potty temporarily installed so the workers would not disturb us during the day. And best of all, the house looks great! The job was finished toward the end of May 2024. When it comes time to paint the house again, Duff Painting Company will get the job. Dave Davis June 2024"

"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."

"Steve did a great job at a reasonable price. He is professional, skilled and friendly. We'd had parts of walls and ceilings ripped out on 2 floors when our cast iron stack pipe broke. He replaced drywall, cut and replaced wood trim, baseboards, and wood paneling at the bottom half of one wall. Then he primed and painted. And, he cleaned up when done. We will definitely hire Steve for future jobs. Mary Thurmond"

"Tomâ s crews replaced about a third of the James Hardie cement board siding on our 20-year old house, and caulked and painted the entire house. Their work was excellent and great value. Tom worked very closely with us to make sure the work was done properly. We highly recommend him and his company for exterior home repairs."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Both a roller and a brush are effective methods for painting a chain link fence. A roller will make the job easier by ensuring symmetrical strokes and reaching the backside of the fence as well, which cuts down on paint time. However, a brush is often necessary for painting the base of the fence and near the posts due to its ease of reaching smaller spaces.

Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
