"JK did an excellent job and has done multiple painting projects for us - including our entire upstairs and our kitchen. We have an older home with oil based paint and they were able to prep the surfaces for strong paint adhesion."

"I hired JS Home Improvement to finish my basement. They quoted me a competitive price and showed up every day on time, and worked sometimes 12 hours a day. Each day I was told what they would work on, how long it would take, and what time they would arrive the following day. I always knew what was going on and not once did they ever leave me to go work on another job. They offered suggestions that I hadn't considered and quoted me the price for it. The price I paid was exactly what was I quoted. The details are incredible. The framing, the new wall, the ceiling, and the painting was all impeccably done. They cleaned up the extra supplies that were no longer needed every day, and did a thorough clean once the project was completed. Please do yourself a favor if you live in Wake County, call Jose. He's amazing, honest, has an incredible work ethic and is extremely knowledgable at what he does. I already have a new list of things for them to work on once time and budget permit. I'm so glad I chose JS Home Improvement over any other company who bid my project. The reason I am his first reviewer is because he has recently gone into business for himself, but he has 20 years of experience. I wish I could write another review, because I certainly would."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

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.

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.
