"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."

"Mr. Diaz was quick to respond and give us a (Quite reasonable) quote. He was also able to start work within a week or so which was not a requirement but it was a bonus. We have a split level that is 2/3 brick so we needed the second story, all the eves, and trim scraped and painted. We had already purchased the paint so his price to us was strictly for labor. He did an amazing job on our old house. It had last been painted 17 years ago. He pressure washed, scraped, sanded, and caulked before painting. He arrived early and worked hard all day in the heat. He did such a great job that we hired him again to paint our wood shed to match. He cleaned up his mess and left the area clean and neat. We are very pleased and highly recommend him."

"Kenia and crew did an amazing job for a beyond fair price on my accent walls. They showed up on time, took care with the home as they setup to paint, and followed through on all commitments. This excellent experience led to my asking Kenia to estimate the price of painting the whole house from ceiling to baseboards including patch repair - the price was right and work commenced within the week. Once again the crew came in and did a top notch job in an efficient manner - even patching a ceiling crack we didn't know was there until the 1st coat of paint went on at no extra charge. They installed wainscot trim, painted some pieces of furniture that needed to be refreshed. Totally amazing work and very professional experience. They've now been hired to re-paint my kitchen cabinets to complete my house overhaul. I feel very fortunate to have found Kenia/Carolina Painting & Remodeling LLC through Angi and have already referred friends that have contracted the team to have work completed that are also fully satisfied with the quality of work. You'd be very lucky indeed to have this wonderful team take care of your painting and general remodeling needs :) ."

"David was amazing. He constructed a pergola covered by a sheet metal roof and stained it in less than 10 days. Timely and clear communication. Attention to detail. Great standard of craftsmanship. And very reasonable pricing. David also painted the exterior of our home and installed an in-ground basketball goal. We highly recommend his services!"

"When I met Chris I felt up front that he was the right guy for my job. He had pictures of work he previously worked on. ( just beautiful ) I needed my 10x10 deck stained and sealed. With the 14 steps and balusters that run the length of both areas and set’s pretty high up on large wood deck beams. I hired Chris he got started early morning and finished the job by 3pm same day. I’m very pleased with his work he’s very qualified to take on any job very knowledgeable in his field of work and is very professional he will show up in a vehicle with his logo on it and a shirt logo to. He takes care of your property like he does his own. I highly recommend Chris for your painting needs indoor or outdoor. He’s very trustworthy."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

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 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.

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.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.
