"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 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.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

Overall costs depend on the fence height and length, prep work required, and labor if hiring professionals, ranging between $1 and $4 per square foot.

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
