"We had previously hired Paz Painting to remove popcorn from the ceilings in 2 rooms and hired his crew again to do the same in our dining and living rooms, an entryway and the upstairs stairwell ceiling. They also painted several rooms. They did a great job in both regards and did a nice job of cleaning up when done. Narciso is easy to work with and I would definitely hire his company again."

"Cruz Home Painting did an outstanding job painting the entire interior of our home. Jesus came out the same day I contacted him to give me a quote. The price was very fair and the job was completed earlier than our original time line. The house was prepped throughout as not to get any paint on my wood floors, tile, or carpet. The cleanup was even better as I couldn't tell that work was done in the house. This company is very fair with their pricing and the end results are fabulous. Can't go wrong with this company!!!"

"The process was seamless. The people were thoughtful, knowledgeable, flexible and held our hands every step of the way. The pricing was right on time and the outcome was a breath of fresh air. The outside of our home looks new and delivers a sense of pride that we had been missing. We have worked with so many contractors in the building industry over the years and have never had this type of quality service. Most contractors are hard to reach, over-promise and under deliver, lack business/accounting acumen and more. Express Your Paint is the exact opposite. They over deliver. We highly recommend them."

"Evan's Paint stained the exterior and trim on my house. They stained my deck and storage building. They clear coated my wooden fence. All work was done professionally and in a timely fashion. Mr. Evans was always available. I would strongly recommend Evan's Paint. Miriam Strickland"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Select based on wood type, climate tolerance, and personal preference for color and finish, with choices like oil-based stains for longevity.

Yes, you can paint galvanized chain link, but the process is a bit more difficult as it requires additional prep work. Before applying the primer and paint, you must remove the original coating from the metal, which can be time-consuming. If the original coating is not removed, the primer and paint will not bond properly and cause peeling over time.

You should inspect the area regularly for rust, clean it with a wire brush, repaint it every few years, and apply a protective sealant to prevent corrosion.

The best way to prepare your vinyl fence for a paint job is to clean it with warm, soapy water and rinse it with a hose or pressure washer on a low setting. Be sure to let it totally dry, then sand the surface before applying an epoxy-based primer. After the primer, you're ready to paint your vinyl fence.
