"Paz painting was excellent. They did a great job with some repairs to rotten fascia boards and then painted our entire two story house. Quality of the job was very good and Paz painting was very professional and easy to work with. Price was also very competitive as compared with two other quotes we got."

"Juan and his crew were extremely professional and did a great painting job for us. We had exterior foundation painted along with some porch railing and posts. They also painted a large bathroom and stairwell including several companion walls. Work was done thoroughly. Everything we asked them to do was complete and well done. Juan and his crew had a pleasant attitude. Also they showed up when they said, and worked the entire day. I would definitely have them back to do more painting and I highly recommend them."

"Great service. We needed to have our house and barn stained (cedar siding) and painted (trim). We also needed some carpentry repair. Kelvin walked all over our roof to make sure he identified all of the trim repair needed and gave us a detailed list. He also made certain that the stain he used matched what was put on last time. The end result was excellent. The house looks great and the price was quite reasonable. I highly recommend them."

"? I recently hired HM Painting & Drywall LLC to paint a few rooms in my home, and they did an excellent job! The team was professional, on time, and paid great attention to detail. The walls look amazing, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality painting work."

"Brothers company was by far the easiest company I ever worked with. Theyâ re integrity, reliability, and honesty really put them at forefront of painter and Carpentry. We had a lot of wood rot, Carlos was very thorough making sure he found all the rot and made sure I saw it and understood each steps. They also painted the house and stain the deck. My deck never looked so good!"

"Michelle came out and did my quote, she was very thorough and made sure the quality was up to my standard! She checked behind the contractors so that eased my mind (I’ve had painting where the contractors messed up my walls and I had to hire a WHOLE other company just to fix it.) Also loved how they made sure the paint didn’t get in places they shouldn’t be. Need to get my porch painted next, so listen for my call !!"

"Miguel was so great to work with. He replaced all of our wood siding with Hardie Plank and then painted our home. He and his crew worked so quickly and did an incredible job! Miguel was so kind, well-priced, and did quality work. We will definitely use him again in the future and will be recommending him to others!"

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.

If you paint a vinyl fence, it will likely stick to it for only a brief amount of time. This is because vinyl is not a porous material, so it's not an ideal surface for holding paint. Initially, paint will stick to your fence, but it will eventually peel off. Applying primer before painting your vinyl fence will help paint last longer. Certain primers are well-suited to vinyl, which means you can paint vinyl siding with the proper preparation.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

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.

DIY is possible with proper tools and knowledge, but professionals can ensure even application and high-quality results, saving time and hassle.
