"Diaz was extremely professional and delivered high quality work. They painted several rooms in our home and the results look fantastic. He was professional, punctual, and respectful of our space, making sure everything was properly protected and cleaned up afterward. The quality of their work really shows in the clean lines, even coats, and great attention to detail. Communication was clear from start to finish, and the project was completed on time. We’re very happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality painting work."

"I employed the Professional Handyman over the phone in another city. I waited to see the finished work before paying the balance of the contract. I am pleased with the work ad also with the rapidity with which the job was completed. The task was to replaster a bedroom ceiling that had been damaged by water and then to paint it. I didn't explore pricing pricing before accepting the contract. The work included sheet rock patch. Cut drywall. Fix repair drywall sparkle; remove popcorn ceiling. Clean up mess that includes moving furniture. Paint ceiling white. Job was completed in 24 hours. Cost was $1040.81. I am very satisfied with results. Would recommend Professional Handyman to others. Would like feedback re: how reasonable cost is."

Painting questions, answered by experts

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

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. 

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.
