"We met with Jeff and found him to be very knowledgeable and professional. His quote was competitive and very detailed. He was very responsive to questions we had after meeting. Unfortunately, we ran out of money in our construction budget and were unable to hire painters to paint the inside of our house. But Jeff was great. He provided us with lots of tips and pointers to help us in tackling the project. We plan on eventually painting the exterior of our home in the future and I would not hesitate to hire him for the job."

"I had the pleasure of hiring this Bobby on two separate occasions to paint trim, doors, and ceilings in my home. The quantity of his work was excellent. He used top tear paint that left the surfaces looking fresh and vibrant. Not only he was meticulous in his craftsmanship, but he was also punctual and completed both jobs efficiently. What truly stood out was his attention to detail and ensuring everything was cleaned up once the job was finished. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking reliable, high quality paint services."

"Excellent! John and Lou Maranca arrived every morning on time and came every day until the job was completed. They were interested in and conscious of our needs and requests and even agreeably accommodated a change of color after two of the walls were painted. They paid special attention to detail and were a pleasure to work with. We happily recommend Sunlight Contracting for your painting needs!"

"Our house was in desperate need of painting and we brought Worry Free in to provide us with an estimate. Their price was more than competitive and their customer service was far better than I could have anticipated. From start to finish, the crew was professional, curious and focused on providing a positive experience. Our neighbors actually commented on how much care they put into protecting our landscaping and how professional the crew was. It’s amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do because our home looks great! These guys truly make it “Worry Free”"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

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.
