"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!"

"This is my second time using Superb Painting. The crew was phenomenal with good attitudes and very precise painting abilities. They were very concerned about the house. They inspected their work constantly and decided whether another coat was needed or not. Superb Painting stresses attention to detail and making the current job the most important thing they’re doing or have done. Superb Painting is my go-to painters in Omaha. Fantastic experience!"

"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."

"Bryan was great to work with. He was prompt, polite & personable. But he also did an excellent job. We bought a new home and part of the living room ceiling had an area where a repair had been made but never painted. Bryan matched the ceiling paint and covered the repaired area, saving us hundreds of dollars by not having to paint the entire ceiling. We will definitely use True Finish Painting for future projects. We highly recommend them."

"Randy and his team were a dream to work with! Randy and Chris were super easy to work with-they kept in constant communication, sent updated pics throughout the process, answered all my questions and had great ideas for paint color schemes. The painters were friendly, efficient, extremely hard working and cleaned up the property as they worked. Timmons Painting was recommended by a number of people, and I wouldn’t have used anyone else. Honest, trustworthy and a pleasure to do business with! I would recommend Randy and his team to anyone who wants a quality service performed, using only quality name brand products, with someone they can trust. I felt comfortable leaving this project in Randy’s hands, and he didn’t disappoint. Awesome work and strong work ethic. Would recommend to anyone needing paint services! Thank you Randy!!"

"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

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.

You should inspect the area regularly for rust, clean it with a wire brush, repaint it every few years, and apply a protective sealant to prevent corrosion.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
