"Pro Home Exteriors did a wonderful job installing my vinyl siding, painting my foundation and staining my porch and deck. Juan and his crews were very professional and explained everything they were doing. My house is beautiful and they stayed on schedule. The clean up after completing the project was great and I am completely satisfied with this project. I highly recommend Pro Home Exteriors for your next vinyl siding or painting project. My deck looks brand new and is much sturdier than even when it was first built. I’ll hire this company again for my next project. Thanks Juan- appreciate the attention to detail and hard work from you snd your crews!"

"Fresh Start painting did two of my friends homes both interior and exterior. I was so impressed I had them come and paint multiple interior rooms in my home and then they painted the exterior of my home inclusive of my front porch and my screened in back porch. They are efficient, accommodating, detail oriented and so neat in cleaning up other than beautiful painting as a result you would never know they were here. Immaculate ~ and I have already rehired them for more work. Reasonable prices and worth every dime. Accommodating with my schedule ~ and I could just leave while they did their work. Lovely to be in a position of trust and reliability. PS they were fabulous working around my labrador and she moved from room to room to say hello and then she would tuck into a bed for a nap."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

If you paint a vinyl fence, it will likely stick to it for only a brief amount of time. This is because vinyl is not a porous material, so it's not an ideal surface for holding paint. Initially, paint will stick to your fence, but it will eventually peel off. Applying primer before painting your vinyl fence will help paint last longer. Certain primers are well-suited to vinyl, which means you can paint vinyl siding with the proper preparation.

If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. 

If possible, it is beneficial to paint both sides of your fence to protect the fence more completely from the elements. Painting both sides of your fence will create a more consistent appearance as well. However, the time and cost involved in painting both sides of the fence may cause people to paint only the side they see.
