"We previously hired Sean to paint the interior of our garage. He did an amazing job. At that time we discussed him doing our Garage floor with epoxy and sparkles. We scheduled the job with him. He arrived on time and completed the work in the agreed time frame. He exceeded our expectations. Our garage looks so spectacular, that we are now the talk of the neighborhood."

"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."

"We had a lightning strike which damaged the exterior and the interior. His team responded quickly to weather proof the damage. They followed up with window replacement, siding and roof repair, interior drywall and trim repair, painting and finish work. While they were there and doing such a good job, we had a door replaced. We discovered water damage caused by undetected leaks. This lead to a complete replacement of the cedar shake siding, window and door flashing replacement and exterior painting. All with a hurricane breathing down our necks. The work was completed in a very short window and was done at a high quality level. We are hoping to have the firm back to do other exterior work in the off season."

"We are extremely pleased with A to Z Renovations & plan to have them come back to do more painting & drywall repair. They painted the ceilings, walls & trim for our whole downstairs area. Also repaired drywall before painting. The job took a few days to complete & each day before they left they completely cleaned their work area & moved furniture back. So professional & also easy to talk with. I was impressed when he used his own time to help me with a small paint project I was working on. I initially chose them for their price & rating & know we made the right choice. I asked them for business cards for my neighbors. Great guys!"

"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

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.

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

Overall costs depend on the fence height and length, prep work required, and labor if hiring professionals, ranging between $1 and $4 per square foot.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

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.
