"It went very well. Josh gave me a respectable quote and started working on my two outdoor projects two days later. He prepped the areas first by laying down paint cloths and then scraped several hours before the actual paint was applied. It looks great and I appreciate his cooperation to get it done in a timely manner."

"I worked with Mike, Paxton, and Ryan as they replaced flooring in my basement Livingroom, bedroom, bathroom, 2 small hallways, and stairs with landing. They were amazing to work with - they provided ongoing updates, were sensitive to our schizoid cats, and answered questions professionally. They explained what was needed, listened to any concerns I would have, and helped us to consider next steps in addressing possible mold issues in our basement. I cannot recommend them enough or everyone at Fix it all. It was great seeing Curtis again as I considered baseboards with great recommendations. They are 80% done with the project at this time and I couldn't be more excited to see this dream come true! Thank you to Fix it all and the best group of workers I have been blessed with. Warmly, Andi"

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:
Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted
Scraping away loose paint

Priming with a quality paint primer
Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish
Adding a second coat
Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
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.
On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.
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.
