"I recently hired Upstate Home Repairs for a variety of tasks around my home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, he was professional, efficient, and incredibly detail-oriented. Every job, whether big or small, was completed perfectly, and the quality of the work was outstanding. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Steve was friendly, approachable, and took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answering all of my questions. It was clear that he takes pride in the work and values customer satisfaction. I truly appreciate how punctual and reliable Steve was throughout the process. It’s rare to find someone who not only does great work but also provides such a positive, stress-free experience. I highly recommend Upstate Home Repairs for anyone looking for top-notch service and quality craftsmanship. Will definitely be calling again for future projects!"

"Removal of popcorn ceilings is not an easy thing to do. They did it quickly, covering and removing everything daily with plastic. Then painting professionally. Even sent someone to clean afterwards."

Painting questions, 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. 

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

If your cedar fence is new, don’t delay. Unlike treated pine, you don’t need to wait months for the wood to dry out for it to accept stain. With cedar, the sooner, the better. Seal cedar within two weeks of installation to prevent the sun from fading its red color.
