"The job was done in a proficient and professional manner. The painting crew came in and went over the work to be done to confirm color choices and rooms to be painted. We had already moved all necessary furniture and the crew covered everything with tarps. The work was done very cleanly and fast. The finished rooms look very nice and we are very happy with the final look. Thank you Big Sky Country Contractors for a job well done. We will be giving you a call on our next project."

"David and his team did an excellent job refreshing our rental unit! David was super communicative, responsive and prompt. Because of the paint color we chose, the job wound up over budget but David worked with us to make sure the updated cost felt fair. I will definitely employ Fresh Coat Painting again for our paint and remodeling needs!"

"Sacred Geometry Home Solutions did some exterior and interior painting for some spaces at the Free Cycles community bicycle shop. The work was excellent! The attention to detail was awesome, the work was efficient (without 'cutting corners') and the price was affordable for a professional job, while still being personal. My emal is [email protected] if anyone would like more information on the work performed. Thank you Sacred Geometry! -Bob, Director, Free Cycles Missoula"

"We were able to see the remodel of a house from start to finish- he installed new cabinets, counter tops, flooring, trim and floor boards, painted and textured throughout the house. He updated the exterior as well. He is cost conscious and efficient. The end product was beautiful substantiating a significant increase in the home value."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

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

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.

Preparation includes cleaning the fence, sanding any rough areas, applying a primer if necessary, and ensuring dry weather for application.
