"Steve did an outstanding job refinishing and painting our kitchen cabinets. He was meticulous about prepping the kitchen and his workmanship was first-rate. The spray painting went smoothly and because of his careful preparation, there was no paint on any surfaces where t didn't belong. He did a thorough clean up afterwards. The cabinets look brand new and we couldn't be happier. He is an excellent craftsman."

"Coleen & Kyle assisting us getting our Derry home ready for sale by painting the ceilings, walls and trim through-out the house. And add-ons such as the cabinets and upstairs vanity. They work efficiently as a team and helped transform the house into my vision. They took on unplanned work such as staining my deck and still finished a bit early. They were professional and arrived on time and kept things tidy. I would definitely recommend them and look for hiring them again in the future in the need arises."

Painting questions, answered by experts

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

You shouldn't paint a metal fence. Painting doesn't necessarily damage a corrugated metal fence, but these types of fences are meant to flex, and paint can easily chip and break off. Latex paints can address this issue, but those tend not to be very weather-resistant. Certain paints can trap moisture in the corrugation, which can rust the metal and lead to corrosion. And finally, if you paint a copper fence, it won't patina, which is one of the main reasons people buy copper.  

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.
