"We were looking at repainting 2 bedrooms when we bought our home. The estimate was worked up after seeing the rooms and talking to us about what we were wanting. The estimate involved different colors to meet what we were wanting and after reviewing the colors, we found exactly what we had wanted. They began by painting a small area and talking with us to make sure it was what we had wanted and it most certainly was. They finished the first room in two days, completing trim and paint work and the second room, which was smaller, in one day. We are extremely satisfied, they are pleasant to talk to, pay very close attention to detail and work diligently to make sure what they offer is what you want. We will call them again for any work that we need done to our home, I certainly recommend these guys 100%!"

"Charley did a great job! He did a knock down texture in one of my bedrooms. He was very knowledgeable and I was able to ask him other questions I had about other projects I had started. His response time for returning my call was fast and the job was done in a very timely matter. I will definitely be calling him on future jobs."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

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