"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."

"Working with King Paint Company was hands down the best experience Iâ ve ever had with a contractor. From the start all the way through to the completion of the project they were communicative, efficient and detail oriented. Very accommodating and communicated with us through every step. They were well worth every cent. We will definitely use them in the future. 10/10 - couldnâ t be happier!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

A cedar fence will actually last quite a long time even if you don’t treat it with stain. In fact, you can expect to get between 15 and 30 years out of an untreated cedar fence. However, if you want to preserve its color and extend its life, treat it with a combination stain and sealer every three to five years.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.
