"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!"

"We purchased a home and needed a large amount painting to be done. Bobby was professional through the entire process. He was there when he said he would be, paid attention to detail and left everything clean. He did a great job and was fairly priced. I would highly recommend him and definitely use him for all of our painting needs."

"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!"

"Hiring On the job painting for my painting project was one of the best decisions that I made. I purchased a new home and the interior of the home was painted very poorly, also, there were holes in the wall where pictures were previously hung and holes where TVs were mounted. I am very meticulous, therefore, it was extremely important for me to select the right painting company to complete my painting project. Also, I wanted to ensure that I selected a company that did superior patch work to ensure that the walls looked professionally painted. Keithâ s crew transformed my new home into a beautiful space. The entire interior of my home was painted and each room looks amazing. I highly recommend on the job painting and I will be using them in the future for all of my painting projects."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

For the best results, you should apply two coats of paint to your wrought iron fence. Let your first coat dry for about an hour then promptly apply your second coat.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

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.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.
