"Ross and the Emerald Pro crew were fantastic to work with! They painted the exterior of our house in October. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future for all of my painting needs. Ross was quick to respond when we reached out. We set up time for an estimate quickly and he did a great job explaining the process, the paint they use and answered all of my questions. We had some exterior repairs that we were locked into a contract with another company to complete but Ross was flexible in working with us, putting us on his schedule after the repairs were done but before the exterior paint season ended because of cool weather (dew). Next time, if I need repairs, I’ll be using Ross and company to get this done as they found quite a few places that needed repair which the other contractor missed. Ross was a great communicator, was very clear in estimated costs and followed up throughout the process to see if we had any questions. Cannot thank him and the crew enough for a great job done!"

"They started with a complete and detailed estimate, no pressure to go with them. Once approval was given they were there on date and time specified to begin the job. They completed the job in very professional manner. Very polite and great attention to detail. They also did a follow-up to make sure I was happy with everything they had done. I would highly recommend this company."

"Asked CertaPro to paint our 30-year-old ceilings. They did a great job. They spent 3 days covering, taping and painting 3000+ sq feet of ceiling. The paint crew was superior, friendly, the work excellent, done professionally and on-time. After completion, the cleanup was complete and except for brilliant new ceilings, it was difficult to tell if they were ever here. A+, 5-Star work."

"We had a large area of 15 yr old wallpaper that was removed, drywalled, sanded, and painted. From the beginning inspection/estimate by Dan Espinoza to the crew leader, Sean, there was clear communication. My home was treated with respect taping down protective paper/drop cloths to protect the floors. No corners were cut to do the job right. I highly recommend this great company to do fantastic work on your home!"

"These painters are ever more impressive and detailed than I ever imagined someone would be. We had multiple people come look at our house to be painted and Randy and Chris immediately stood out to us with their knowledge and understanding of what we wanted. And I never felt like we were being sold or pressured into anything. Highly recommend them!"

"My experience with Tracy "Tray" Hollingsworth was tremendous. We hired Tray initially to do some backyard deck repairs and staining, and his quality of work and strong communications were so excellent that we hired him for some additional activities that centered on exterior painting and some handyman tasks. I look forward to working with Tray again - - he is the BEST!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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 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 should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

A cedar fence will actually last quite a long time even if you don’t treat it with stain. In fact, you can expect to get between 15 and 30 years out of an untreated cedar fence. However, if you want to preserve its color and extend its life, treat it with a combination stain and sealer every three to five years.

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.
