"The builder brushed the black paint on my new front door….looked terrible! Valentine Painting did an exceptional job. Both sides of the door were sanded removing the black paint and making a completely smooth surface for spraying new black paint. It was a 3 day process but that’s how long it takes when you want it to look like the doors in a magazine. Their foreman was great and you could sense the pride he has in his work. Highly recommend Valentine Painting."

"Lance and Elizabeth did a fantastic job painting our home. They painted our entire home (1800sqft) and they finished a day early. They were both very professional, nice, courteous and they even won over our three dogs. Our house looks brand new with the crisp edge paint work on the baseboards. We love it. We will be using Lance and Elizabeth for any future paint needs. Money well spent!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. 

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. 

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.

You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels. 

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
