"Shawn came to work on my washing machine that wasn’t operating. When the first repair didn’t fix the problem, he did more research and came back with another part that fixed the problem. I appreciate his communication about scheduling and about ordering necessary parts. I appreciate his commitment to solving the problem. And, I appreciate his work ethic. I would recommend Shawn to anyone in need of handyman type repair."

"My project involved removal of wallpaper, prepping of walls (patching of plaster and sanding), and painting ceiling and walls in the dining room of my historic Red Lodge home. The project was explained clearly to me along with possible problems that might be encountered. Kristen Collett was professional, thorough, and cleaned up each day before she left. When the project was completed, there was considerable plaster dust remaining in the dining room, all of which she and her crew cleaned up before they left. I have already begun talks with her to hire her company again.,"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

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

Maintaining a composite fence is pretty straightforward, as it doesn’t require staining or repainting. To keep it clean, scrub the fencing with a composite deck cleaner or hot, soapy water. Use a soft-bristle brush for the best results, and avoid using pressure washers or sanders. Plan to clean your fence at least twice a year. Scrubbing the fencing in the fall and spring can help prevent mold and mildew growth.

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.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.
