"I hired Perfectos to clean out and organize my garage. I had lots of boxes I needed broken down and furniture I needed hauled out. They arrived on time and got it all done in a few hours. I am super impressed with their work and would recommend them to anyone needing help with cleaning or projects around the house."

"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!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible with proper tools and knowledge, but professionals can ensure even application and high-quality results, saving time and hassle.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Regular cleaning, rust-proof coatings, and checking fasteners help prolong the lifespan.

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.

A cedar fence will actually last quite a long time even if you don’t treat it with stain. In fact, you can expect to get between 15 and 30 years out of an untreated cedar fence. However, if you want to preserve its color and extend its life, treat it with a combination stain and sealer every three to five years.
