"Michael Tillman and his professional crew did a Wonderful interior paint job. I had ceilings, walls, cabinets, and baseboards/trim painted in various rooms of my house. Perfectly done at a VERY reasonable price! No complaints. They also did a kitchen backsplash and Mr. Tony did an exceptional job! I was so impressed with this company that I have now hired them to do a master shower upgrade, replace 3 patio doors and a large patio window. You can't go wrong with this Company!"

"I am very very happy with their service! I had a very large China cabinet that needed to be stripped, sanded, caulked, primed and repainted. It was a difficult and time consuming job that several other painters had passed on. Derrick and his team showed up and worked hard for an extremely reasonable price and did a very professional job. I could not be happier and will definitely contact them again for any painting needs I have!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Regular staining, sealing, and inspecting for rot or insect damage prolongs fence lifespan.

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.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.
