"Donin and Dorian did a wonderful painting job! Everything--floors, carpets, furniture, etc.--was covered completely during the process, and the finished product was lovely. One would never know that there had ever been damage to the ceilings from Hurricane Florence. DLA Painting is the best. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"We first hired Reybel for a kitchen project, but ended up hiring him for several jobs, including remodeling a rental house removing popcorn ceiling, painting dark wood trim, cabinets and walls, and tiling floors. He did an excellent job with remarkable clean up. He is very receptive to new ideas and doing the job in a timely and cleanly manner. For the kitchen project in our home, he removed a wall of cabinets and tiled the space, installing a range hood and shelving. He also repaired and painted the ceiling in our great room and bedroom where there was water damage. We are completely satisfied with the results and have already asked him to do more work. We would recommend him and his crew's work to anyone!"

"Jeremy was awesome! I came from out of town to do some upgrades on my parents bathroom and ran into some electrical issues. He was on time, came in and got right to business. Very professional and even went the extra mile to fix some minor safety issues. He worked until he was able to pinpoint issue which was so minor we all just laughed. Thank you, Jeremy!! Awesome job!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Both a roller and a brush are effective methods for painting a chain link fence. A roller will make the job easier by ensuring symmetrical strokes and reaching the backside of the fence as well, which cuts down on paint time. However, a brush is often necessary for painting the base of the fence and near the posts due to its ease of reaching smaller spaces.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.
