"For our primary project, Fred cleaned, stained, and sealed our covered deck and wooden swingset. He was very thorough. He also helped with a smaller project of securing the molding around a sliding door to our patio and painting that exterior concrete wall. We were very pleased with his work and will likely use him for future projects."

"I have hired them twice already, and I have referred them to others who have hired them already and this is the only company I will call from now on. They are great at power washing, outside and interior painting, masonry paint, priming. Their work was just amazing, all at a fair price. They even do great after-work clean up, they work well with you and even handle weather conditions. Just a great group of people to work with! I highly recommend them!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

You should inspect the area regularly for rust, clean it with a wire brush, repaint it every few years, and apply a protective sealant to prevent corrosion.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

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

The best type of paint to use for chain link fences is an oil-based paint. Oil-based paints are durable and will withstand the elements well. Search for an oil-based paint with rust protection and aluminum flakes to further protect the longevity of the fence.
