"KCB has done several jobs for us, from painting the outside of our house and trim, a small bathroom remodel, to a huge remodel including tearing out walls and plumbing. Their craftsmanship, integrity, and work ethic are outstanding. Their price is fair and reasonable, AND they are nice, honest people."

They delivered on their promises and kept us informed of their progress and plans. Their enthusiasm for their craft is evident in their positive attitudes that they brought to the job site each day and their attention to detail. Further, they stand behind their work with a warranty that reassures any potential problems will be addressed. I will hire them again without any hesitation."

"Eric was very personable and professional. He had to work around the rain this spring, but started painting as soon as it quit raining and was warm enough. We are very leased with the results."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

Routine staining or sealing and periodic inspections to extend life.

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.
