"Brandon was very efficient and professional. Always cleaned up after himself. Very meticulous about his work. Very reasonably priced. I was very satisfied with his work. He called me a week after the project was completed to make sure I was still satisfied. I will be using him again in the near future to replace a couple of windows and a bathroom remodel."

"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

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.

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