"We hired Five Star Painting this past summer because they had done such a nice job seven years prior. They were extremely profession, from the initial call, through estimate, during the project, and following up afterwards. I would highly recommend them to family or friends."

"Donin and Dorian did a wonderful painting job! Everything--floors, carpets, furniture, etc.--was covered completely during the process, and the finished product was lovely. One would never know that there had ever been damage to the ceilings from Hurricane Florence. DLA Painting is the best. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"Steve of Lock-N-Load is fabulous! From the appointment he made to provide an estimate for painting the interior of my house to the day he finished, Steve was a consummate professional. He arrived on time, was a pleasure to have in my home, and most importantly, he did a beautiful job! As soon as he started doing the prep work, I knew without any reservation, I would be happy with the outcome. If you have a painting project, make Steve your first and only call!"

"I donâ t write many reviews but I have to for Juan. I needed my whole interior painted due to flooding. He came over to look at the scope of the job and sent me an estimate that I thought was good. I had several estimates from different companies and I went with the lowest. I was a little nervous because his company had no web presence. But he saw some issues with previous work right away and I felt comfortable with him. I am so happy with my decision. His crew was meticulous in covering my new flooring with paper, repainting previously painted doors that werenâ t done well. I appreciated Juanâ s assistance with paint selection. He is the kindest man! His entire crew is very friendly. My neighbor commented on that! They arrived on time and worked the entire day (my other neighbor commented on that!). Some days there were six workers and all were friendly and nice. When the job was finished, Juan offered to help me put everything where it belonged! They swept and washed the floors! My house is absolutely beautiful now and I canâ t thank him enough. They were so fast that they finished before my money arrived and Juan had to wait a couple days before he was paid in full. He was so kind about it. Everyone who comes in to see the work is awed. And even better, my house is finally livable and beautiful as well."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.

We don’t recommend it. A wired brush or a brush with metal bristles damages concrete and asphalt during the stain removal process. For the best results, stick to nylon stiff enough to do the job but gentle enough to keep from scratching the driveway. For extra caution, skip the brush entirely and use towels.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.
