"Rob painted the hallway of our 4 storey condo, and also revarnished the much weathered front door. The entire project went so smoothly! Rob worked quickly, and neatly. The hallway looks fantastic. The entire job went so well, I asked him to paint our living room next!"

"Eric is the owner of EJ painting. He is honest and hardworking. His prices are the best and his work always out shines the more expensive competitors. Eric works in my house when I am work and he leaves my house as clean as when he started. He has painted and done sheet rock in the majority of my home. He also power washed my garage floor! He’s extremely versatile and aims to please. I have never once been disappointed in his work. I will be hiring him again to do my bathroom next. A+"

"RAP did a very good job power washing a backyard fence in preparation for staining. Rich was reliable and easy to work with. He kept in touch with me, kept to the schedule, arrived on time, and performed the job exactly as we agreed upon. I would definitely use them again."

"Excellent. Could not be happier. Rich and his crew were very friendly, professional, punctual, and neat. I was given all the details of the job before any work began. They completed the job in a timely manner and it looks incredible. I received many compliments from family, friends, and neighbors. I would highly recommend North Jersey Specialists for any exterior or interior painting/power washing jobs. I hope to use them again in the future for some interior painting projects."

"Peter did a great job painting our rain damaged ceiling and walls in our living room, transforming it into a whole new living space. Because of his great work in our living room we hired him again to paint our deck. We are so pleased with all of his work so far that we will be contacting him in the future for additional projects on our home. He is trustworthy, gives fair prices, easy to contact and completes projects efficiently within the promised time. Highly recommend!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or 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.
