"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."

"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

You can weather a new wood fence by applying vinegar with steel wool as a way to fade some of the coloring. You may also find it easier to stain your entire fence a new color instead of trying to get newer fence boards to match an older one.

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.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

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.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.
