"Brandon did an amazing job painting my bathroom and taking care of several odd jobs around the house! His attention to detail and pride in his work really show. He genuinely cares about the quality of what he does and making sure everything is done right. He's also very reasonably priced, which is becoming harder and harder to find! It's refreshing to work with someone who takes pride in their work, is dependable, and offers great quality without breaking the bank. I highly recommend Brandon and will definitely be calling him again for future projects!"

"Arrowhead did a wonderful job. We bought our home and wanted it painted inside...just about the entire inside...before we moved in. She worked tirelessly to get the job complete before move in. Walls, ceiling, bathroom with crazy tile lines all were completed perfectly. To add to the job, all walls were originally very dark. Now, after three coats of paint, I have bright beautiful walls. Great job."

Painting FAQs, 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.

There are several ways to make a wooden fence more visually appealing and keep it that way for years to come.

  • Treat the fence with a wood sealant to protect it against the elements. It’s recommended to reseal a fence every two to three years, but if you live in a harsh climate, you may want to do it more frequently than that.

  • Restore the fence if it’s old, corroding, or fading. That includes cleaning it and making small repairs where needed.

  • Paint the fence in a color that you like, whether that’s a simple white or more vibrant option. Fences usually need to be repainted every one to three years.

  • Decorate the fence with planters, string lights, birdhouses, mirrors, shutters, and more.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.
