"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!"

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

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.

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.

If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. 

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.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.
