"Had no idea who to go to for painting. My brother told me to look on HomeAdvisor. JV had a ton of good reviews so I emailed them for a quote. James called me just a couple minutes later and set up a time to come by. He gave me a rough estimate on the phone and to my surprise the real estimate after he came over to look was lower. It was a small job, just trim around a couple doors I had put in and also painting a door, so I wasn t sure if he would even want it or if it was worth his time, but he said no job is too small and he would be happy to do it. He showed up on time and did a great job. I would definitely hire them again."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Shadowbox fence maintenance depends on the material. But for wood shadowbox fences, maintenance typically includes annual cleaning to prevent mold growth, resealing or staining every two to three years, and promptly replacing any damaged or rotted boards. Vinyl fencing, on the other hand, typically only requires annual cleaning with a hose to maintain its appearance.
