"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!"

"I would highly recommend Bob of Proud Work Ethics LLC. He arrived on time, quickly provided fair estimates and finished the project ahead of schedule. Bob cleaned up after each day and took care to be respectful when working in our home. It is evident, that Bob takes pride in his work. We contracted Bob for a large interior project, which included spackling and repairs throughout the house, ceilings in 10 rooms, complete painting of two rooms including a large family room with cathedral ceilings, and trim work. He exceeded expectations. The house looks amazing! If you are looking for someone to paint in your home, hire Proud Work Ethics LLC."

"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+"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

The best time to stain a fence is when the weather is dry and temperatures are between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Late spring, early summer, and fall are typically the best seasons for this project. You should avoid staining during very hot weather, like in the middle of summer, or when it is raining. Heat and moisture can cause the stain to dry unevenly. Likewise, if it's too cold, such as in winter or early spring, the stain may not be able to dry fully. Before you start, check the forecast to ensure there will be no rain and low humidity for at least a few days.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.
