"We had previously hired Paz Painting to remove popcorn from the ceilings in 2 rooms and hired his crew again to do the same in our dining and living rooms, an entryway and the upstairs stairwell ceiling. They also painted several rooms. They did a great job in both regards and did a nice job of cleaning up when done. Narciso is easy to work with and I would definitely hire his company again."

"I would highly recommend Xtreme Painting LLC to anyone. I found them on Angi and they responded back to me immediately. The owner, Juan came out that same weekend to give an estimate and the job was scheduled within two weeks. Juan’s crew came out and painted my parents bedroom with a tray ceiling & their bathroom. They did an excellent job..ceilings, walls, trim and caulked and cleaned everything when they were done. It looks beautiful! And Mariela was pleasant to speak with too! My parents are so happy that they are going to have them paint the rest of their house. Thank you Xtreme Painting LLC"

"KK Custom Painting had been doing work for us for years. Theyâ  ve handled interior paint and drywall, exterior trim painting and repair and deck painting and stain. The work is always perfect. When the work is done the house is as neat as when they started. I trust them without any hesitation to work on my home."

"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

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.

Staining a wood fence isn’t guaranteed to prevent warping, but it can help. Plus, it’s a beginner-friendly DIY project that you can finish in a few days. If you want to try it, you’ll start by stripping it of any old stain or paint, then sanding it. After that, you’ll clean it and spot-treat any mold or mildew. When it’s dry, you can apply the stain.

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Preparation includes cleaning the fence, sanding any rough areas, applying a primer if necessary, and ensuring dry weather for application.
