"STRAIGHT EDGE PAINTING - CAN'T SAY ENOUGH POSITIVE THINGS We recently engaged Straight Edge Painting owned by Wes Reese to paint the entire interior of our house, including all the ceilings and wood trim work. Until now I doubted anyone could paint to my own expectations.. Wes sent in a team of the most professional, careful, pleasant, respectful and well-trained painters you could ever ask for. They start by covering all the floors by taping down heavy-duty brown kraft paper. Then they patch every imperfection in the ceiling and walls that they find. They even shine flashlights on the ceiling and walls to find these imperfections. Then they scrub down the walls with a giant dry mop-head. Next, they clean the baseboard moldings with a brush. Then, they start by priming all the surfaces first. Then they apply 2 coats of the highest quality paint. Wes is always accessible. They are fully insured and offer a very strong warranty. I COULD NOT IMAGINE THAT YOU CAN FIND A BETTER PAINTER."

"Southend Painters painted the exterior of my house, stained a deck and provided carpentry work for rotting wood on my front porch. Although the original paint job wasn’t what I expected, they worked with me, applied a second coat and now my house looks beautiful. Throughout it all, they were very courteous and professional."

"Kenia and her team did a great job! I hired them to paint my shutters and my garage door, as well as to revarnish my front door. Kenia was easy to communicate with, regarding scheduling. They showed up on time, were very neat and precise in their paint job, and did beautiful work! Everything looks brand new! They finished on time and cleaned up the work area. I am planning to get some interior painting done early next year and definitely hope to hire them again. Strongly recommended!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.

If possible, it is beneficial to paint both sides of your fence to protect the fence more completely from the elements. Painting both sides of your fence will create a more consistent appearance as well. However, the time and cost involved in painting both sides of the fence may cause people to paint only the side they see.

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.
